Vox chief political correspondent Jonathan Allen issued an odd article on Monday titled “Confessions of a Clinton reporter: The media's 5 unspoken rules for covering Hillary.” In Allen’s view, the media are ridiculously harsh on Hillary and the Clinton scandals.

CNN's Bernstein Implicates GOP 'Attacks' in Hillary Clinton Dishonesty
On Wednesday's New Day, CNN political analyst Carl Bernstein made excuses for Hillary Clinton's "difficult relationship to the truth," as he implicated "attacks" from the GOP as well as having to defend her husband's womanizing, which have led her to become a "specialist" at "fudging" in a profession where such behavior is "endemic" anyway.

ABC, NBC Use Hillary, ‘Worker’ at Hotel Site to Bash Trump, GOP
On Tuesday night, ABC and NBC reported on the Professional Golf Association’s (PGA) decision to cut ties with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump over his stance on illegal immigration and, predictably, the two networks deployed soundbites from Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s CNN interview to bash Trump and the GOP as a whole.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign again signaled its contempt for the press during a July 4 parade in New Hampshire. Aides brought out ropes to cordon off the media covering her. It was the perfect metaphor for a “news” media so cowed by their candidate that they would allow such a humiliating action.
