Andrew Stiles:
Hillary Clinton does not like the media very much, which is probably why she hasn’t held a press conference in almost a year.
Journalists are generally fond of Hillary Clinton, although many would prefer awoke young hunk like Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and they definitelyaren’t fans of Donald Trump or most Republicans.
Democratic politicians know that criticizing Hillary Clinton is often a poor career decision. The Clintons keep a “hit list” of their political enemies. They are ruthless, and they never forget.
This can be true for journalists as well. For example, here are five members of the media who were fired (or awkwardly censored on air) for the sin of criticizing Hillary Clinton.
Dr. Drew, HLN

CNN sister network HLN abruptly cancelled Dr. Drew’s show after five and a half year on the air after the host said he was “gravely concerned” about Hillary Clinton’s health. The same network recently blurred out a Donald Trump shirt worn by a New Jersey hero they were interviewing.

Seaman was reportedly fired without warning by the Huffington Post after he wrote an article with a video that raised questions about Hillary Clinton’s health. “They’re deleting and censoring commentary on her health — why is that?” Seaman said.

Bruenig, a Bernie Sanders supporter and frequent critic of Hillary Clinton, lost his job as a blogger for the left-wing think tank Demos after referring to top Clinton ally Neera Tanden as a “scumbag” during a Twitter spat.
Yet I imagine no heads will roll when Reuters decided Donald Trump was being lauded too much at the Detroit church of Bishop Wayne T. Jackson.
A hot mike caught the directions back and forth between the Reuters camera operator and his boss.
The conversation starts at about the 1 minute mark.
It is closed captioned.
We wondered why the feed just ended on every channel at that time.
Then, when it came back up it was silent, no sound at all.
Media in the tank for Hillary?
I’d say a big YES to that.
As if their very lively hoods depended on it.
All owned by the same small cabal.
Reuters is owned (53%) by the 3rd Baron Thomson of Fleet, David Thompson.
Can you say, ”member of the ELITE?”
What ever became of Free Speech anyway is it now taboo to criticize Hillary the Hag? According to the World Book Encyclopedia its illegal to say anything critical of your nations leaders in a Dictatorship I guess demac-RATS just hate the U.S. Constitution
