Yesterday I logged logged about a remarkable comment Hillary Clinton made while campaigning in Massachusetts for a Democrat gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley.
At that time, Ms. Clinton informed her cheering audience “Don\’t let anybody, don\’t let anybody, tell you that, uh, y\’know, it\’s corporations and businesses that create jobs.”
Yes, you read that right: Hillary Clinton was claiming that jobs are created by some entity/entities other than corporations and businesses. She didn\’t say which entity/entities she had in mind….so I will leave it for you to come up with them. Maybe you can. If so , you\’re one up on me, because I can\’t.
Would it be fair to say that a former first lady, United States Senator and Secretary of State claiming jobs are created by someone or something other than private enterprise would be newsworthy? If, for no other reason, to laugh at how ridiculous that comment was, or to demand that Ms. Clinton educate us regarding where she thinks jobs come from?
Well, not to the Sunday morning news shows it wasn\’t.
Neither CBS (Face the Nation), NBC (Meet The Press) nor ABC (This Week) so much as mentioned her comment. Not one word.
Just like they would have done for John McCain or Mitt Romney, if either of them had said something of equivalent absurdity. Right?
Yeah, you bet.
Trying to remember when we had a mainstream media that were even nominally pretending to be neutral, becomes harder and harder by the day.
