Media is soft on Hillary Clinton
There is an elephant in the room, and it is Hillary Clinton and her investigation by the FBI. And yet the media does not seem to know how to handle it.
She is being investigated because she had highly sensitive State Department information on her private email server. Some of these emails were classified beyond top secret. If they had gotten into the wrong hands, lives could have been lost. She denied for several years that she even had these emails on her server but, in fact, she was guilty of this very serious breach of national security.
There was a Democratic presidential debate on PBS last week between Clinton and Bernie Sanders. The two moderators did not even mention Clinton’s legal problems. Sanders did not mention it. Would they have been treated the same if they had been Republicans? I think not. This is a very serious matter and should be treated as such by the media.
