Hillary’s Advantage: She’s Boring, Not Shocking
Her corruption, deceit, and greed are so well established that no one is suprised by them.
By Jonah Goldberg — August 12, 2016
Donald Trump’s supporters complain that the media is fixated on the billionaire’s wild and crazy campaign while ignoring or at least downplaying Hillary Clinton’s gaffes, missteps, and outright scandals.
And they’re right. There is a double standard.
Actually, it’s a multipronged standard.
For some in the mainstream media, good old-fashioned left-wing bias is at work. Every four years, the Republican presidential candidate is treated like some alien warlord wandering in from the badlands beyond the frontier to seize power in our glorious capital city.
One small example: It’s a wistful nostalgic exercise in the era of Trump to think back to 2012, when Mitt Romney explained how, after being elected governor of Massachusetts, he worked with women’s groups so he could hire more females for his administration. He said the groups sent “binders full of women” — i.e., binders full of résumés — for him to review. In other words, Romney did exactly what feminists want politicians to do, but he used the phrase “binders full of women” and the mainstream media collectively ran around like their hair was on fire.
