Broadcast television, having provided far more publicity to Donald Trump than to his Republican primary opponents, is now prepared to shift its focus to aiding the candidacy of Hillary Clinton, largely through ignoring her extraordinary failures as Secretary of State and career-long ethical violations.
Voters have mixed views of television coverage. Rasmussen reports that “Television still reigns supreme when it comes to where voters turn for their political news, but the media get mixed reviews for their coverage of the 2016 presidential campaign so far. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 37% of Likely U.S. Voters rate the media coverage of the 2016 presidential campaign as good or excellent. Nearly as many (33%) say the media are doing a poor job covering the election.”
While the Trump campaign (or, in the unlikely event, another Republican candidate becomes the nominee) can expect the usual negative treatment afforded to Republican presidential contenders, Broadcast television’s aid to Clinton will largely consist of what will not be reported or discussed. There are an impressive number of examples:
The failed Obama/Clinton “Reset” with Russia: It would be difficult to find another instance of a foreign policy initiative that failed so completely or with such devastating results. Since the development of this policy, Russia has taken the lead in nuclear arms, vastly strengthened its conventional military, invaded Ukraine, propped up the regime of Syria’s dictator, reopened naval relations with Cuba, resumed nuclear patrols near U.S. coastlines, infringed on NATO air and sea space, militarized the Arctic, delivered high tech weaponry to Iran and China, and invaded the Ukraine.
Middle East: The Obama/Clinton premature pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq created the vacuum that ISIS rushed in to fill. For years, The President and Secretary Clinton insisted that ISIS was a “JV” team that was of no consequence. The President and Secretary of State openly supported the “Arab Spring” movements which effectively strengthened the position of Islamic extremist forces. Of particular note was support for the overthrow of Libya’s Gaddafi, which turned that nation into an open field for Islamic extremists.
Benghazi: There have been few if any cases in which a Secretary of State has been found to have engaged in more blatant lies than in the entire Benghazi scandal. It I now clear that Ms. Clinton lied about the cause of the attack which resulted in the death of Ambassador Stevens. She also lied about the availability of U.S. forces to respond to the attack. She ignored pleas, in the months before the assault, to strengthen security at the site.
Relations with allies: Throughout Ms. Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State, relations with key U.S. allies have reached exceptional low points. Anglo-American relations are at a depth not seen for a century. Israel has been alienated due to support for radical elements in the region. The Philippines were abandoned when Chinese naval vessels entered its Exclusive Economic Zone. An ABM agreement with Poland was abandoned. American armored forces were inexplicably withdrawn from Europe.
Those are broad policy strokes. But Ms. Clinton’s long history of ethical violations have also been downplayed by broadcast TV during the primary season, and that promises to continue in the general election. From her dismissal from the Watergate investigative committee for ethical violations, her career before and after entering elective and appointive office has been a history of problems. Sean Hannity compiled a list of sections of federal law that are involved:

There is a still brewing scandal involving the approval by Secretary Clinton involving the transfer of half of U.S. uranium output to the Russian government in 2010. In addition to the national security implications, there are indications that the Secretary of State personally profited from the deal, as outlined by Breitbart: “the head of the Russian government’s uranium company, Ian Telfer, made a secret $2.35 million foreign donation to the Clinton Foundation, as was confirmed by the New York Times.Bill Clinton also received a $500,000 speaking fee for a speech in Moscow paid for by a Kremlin-connected bank, reports the New Yorker.”
Riley Waggaman, writing in the Huffington Post, states: “The Media Has Anointed Hillary Clinton as the Chosen One. It Doesn’t Matter That Americans Don’t Like Her. ‘long before a single voter registration was deleted – or entire precinct caucus results were ‘lost’ – Hillary Clinton was declared the inevitable, presumptive Democratic nominee for president.”
