Professor: Trump, Pundits Treated Hillary ‘In a Way That Was Indistinguishable From Sexual Harassment’

In covering the recent presidential campaign, the mainstream media far too often made the perfect the enemy of the good, believes Leigh Gilmore -- “the good” in this case being synonymous with “Hillary Clinton.” Gilmore, a professor in the women's and gender studies department at Hillary’s undergraduate alma mater, Wellesley, claims that “the bias against Hillary Clinton was not simply a story the media reported -- it was the unexamined narrative the press repeated over and over.”

Notwithstanding Clinton’s “long and demonstrable commitment to public service and liberal reform, many voters…were persuaded that she was corrupt, mercenary and even murderous,” wrote Gilmore in a piece that ran Saturday at Salon and first appeared on the academia-oriented web site The Conversation. “A sinister Hillary…dominated conservative media, but also appeared in mainstream journalism…Why was the lie more persistent than the truth? Why was ‘Crooked Hillary’ a more compelling figure than ‘Fundamentally Honest Hillary’?”



FWIW, Gilmore notes that her “forthcoming book…examines the Anita Hill testimony and other very public cases of women giving testimony.”

I call this meta-lying. Lying about your lying while lying.

These people go to a hell where a giant demon with a chainsaw is waiting for them, and while he cuts them up he tells them that he's not cutting them up, so they shouldn't say he's cutting them up because then he'll cut them up, for lying about being cut up.

And they deserve every bit of it, smug arrogant bastards.
Those who command, must obey.

Who really cares what this wet rag has to say about shit? She works in a Commie bubble (Wellseley). She writes books no one reads. Only 2 reviews out of 4 books on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Leigh-Gilmore/e/B001KIOJQ2) and up until this thread was posted, no one in the world other than a bunch of Liberal snowflake kids at her overpriced school ever heard of her.

She is as irrelevant to the universe as the fart I left leaving the dinner table.
