Why does the media ignore Hillary's campaign contribution fraud?

Question

If a Republican has as many shady dealings as the Clintons, the media would have front page stories exposing everything. When a Democrat gets contributions from criminals, it is ignored.

Answer 1

For the same reason Ron Paul get no attention either. The top 4 canidates have been cherry picked for everyone and we seem to accept what they give us.

Answer 2

Mrs. and Mr. Hillary want to ban guns, give amnesty to illegals, and support the North American Union. They have intentionally left the borders unsecured to advance this cause. Check out the votes.

By Cliff Kincaid
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) believes in a world government under the auspices of the United Nations that will destroy American sovereignty and traditional families.

A media black-out has kept most Americans in the dark about the support that Mrs. Clinton and her husband gave to the World Federalist Association (WFA), a controversial organization which openly advocates world government. The WFA says that by adding more power, authority and functions to the United Nations, national sovereignty would be gradually eroded until it is no longer an issue. [1] The group promotes global citizenship and such international agencies as the International Criminal Court (ICC), a World Disarmament Authority to control the weapons of the world, nuclear and even small arms; and an independent peacekeeping army for the U.N.

As to lies and shady dealings, look up Peter F Paul in Hillary’s 2000 Senatorial Campaign.

Well, in my opinion, that is not totally true. Most newspaper chains in the U.S. are Republican owned and managed. The media ignores things like this because somewhere down the road they figure they will get more out of the story later. They do this to everybody, not just Democrats. Originally the media and newspapers were called the Fourth Estate and the watchdog of government, meaning that when the government; which was anyone in politics from the President on down; tried any shady dealings the media would debunk it and that was all she wrote. Today with the advent of the media being owned, managed and operated by people who contribute heavily to politicians campaigns, there is no watchdog of government. If the government wants something covered up, they just tell the media they control to cover it up or invent a story about something that will take the publics minds off their backs. When George Sr. was President the Savings and Loan fiasco happened. Does anyone but me remember the headlines the first day after being found out who caused this fiasco? The ringleader was none other than George W. Bush, our present President. The second day and every day thereafter there was no mention of Georgie boy. In my opinion, people tend to forget what the government wants them to forget unless it benefits them not to forget.

See, if you robbed a bank, and then when they caught you, you said "waitaminnit!! I will give the money back!!" you would be in the slam for 50 years...the Clintons play by different rules, where they steal from everybody, and when they get caught, they say, "yesterday's news, why can't you keep up" or "I'm giving it all back, because I got caug...uh, because I didn't know the guy was a felon."

Answer 5

It is a liberal media, thats why. The Clintons are soooo arrogant about their deceptions, that people can't believe it is actually happening. And as for you mstrywmn, read. then you will see why the Clintons are always under scrutiny

Answer 6

The media isn't ignoring "Hillary's campaign contribution fraud", as you put it.

It's interesting that you take an article that disproves your theory of campaign contribution fraud and twist it so that it supports your theory. As soon as it was revealed the man was a fugitive, Hillary donated the money to another group. The article itself said that this is not a problem for Hillary unless a chain of shady characters pop up.

The article also stated that it was not widely known the man's problems with the law so how you could expect Hillary's group to know it is beyond me. Perhaps you should find another article to support your position.

Answer 7

Have to laugh at the answers here. Quite a number of her supporters claim it didn't happen, some say it is alright because everybody does it and a few claim she returned it realizing it was illegal.
Fact is it did happen and she did return it right after she was CAUGHT with it!

Answer 8

Are you serious? You submit an article from the NY Times and say the media is ignoring it? I heard about it on the radio this morning too. What do you want, screaming headlines? Those are reserved for hypocrite Senators that say they are not gay after they solicit in a men's room. Hillary and other Democrats are taking the money he gave and donating it to charity or giving it back. A simple solution to a simple problem.

Answer 9

You assume that those controlling the media actually care if someone is Democrat or Republican. All they care about is fueling the fire between Americans in order to divide us, then conquer us. Citizens from ALL sides need to wake up!

Answer 10

The media is liberal, and Clinton's a Democrat. They're not gonna besmirch their own, whether it'd be deserved or not.

Answer 11

You can't ignore what isn't there. Campaign contribution fraud? Two words: "Bush" and "Enron." Grow up.
