It’s the tabloids’ fault Hillary’s a liar, crook and therefore lost the election

Breitbart: Politico staff writer Jack Shafer has another novel excuse for Hillary Clinton’s November loss: the National Enquirer and other tabloids subliminally altering voters’ perceptions at the grocery checkout line.

From Politico Magazine:

The tabs had covered politicians before, sure: Back in 1987, the Enquirer helped scuttle Gary Hart’s presidential ambitions when it published a cover photo of Donna Rice sitting on his lap, and in a 2008 series, it threw a saddle on John Edwards’ presidential bid and rode it into the ground. But the tabloids’ thrust had almost always been pure scandal. Politics was only the backdrop. That changed this time, as the tabloids—especially the Enquirer—fixated on the presidential campaign, sometimes in oddly substantive ways. Trump, Clinton or one of the other presidential candidates appeared on the Enquirer cover more than 20 times in 2016, an editorial trajectory that shows no sign of ending with 2017. “How Trump Will Fix Spy Showdown” heralds a cover line in the January 16 issue. The tab routinely depicted Clinton as crazed, diseased, near death, an ISIS-supporting traitor, a liar, a blackmailer, corrupt and a member of a crime family. The Enquirer’s sister tabloid, the Globe, contributed its own anti-Hillary salvos, claiming she was hooked on pills, crippled with multiple sclerosis, relying on a body double to conceal her illness and had suffered a “shocking crackup.”  more

SNIP: Because none of you a$$monkeys (including the tabloids) had anything mean to say about Trump, right?

  1. Maybe if she had actually campaigned, instead of taking so many days to rest. If she would have been able to conger up a viable campaign slogan, and showed some initiative,
    The real reason she lost looks back at her in the mirror. Deeds do have consquences.

  6. Would any food purveyor frequented by people who weren’t already deplorably irredeemable deign to stock the National Enquirer — let alone the distinctly down rent Globe? And who’s mind that was quick enough to be swayed by the facts would ever wait in a line? I mean really?

  7. From the article:
    “…fixated on the presidential campaign, sometimes in oddly substantive ways.”
    Substantive: having a firm basis in reality and therefore important, meaningful, or considerable
    So this guy, in a roundabout way, is admitting the Enquirer is NOT fake news.

  8. So I guess they’re adding the Tabloids to the long list of excuses…
    everything but face the truth.

    Why has she never blamed the LSM for publishing wildly fake poll numbers?
    I saw one poll just a couple of weeks before the election that had her chances of winning at 96% vs 4% for Trump.
    It was all bullshit !!
    Whatever their motive, it backfired big time.

  9. They rend their clothes and gnash their teeth …
    They are enraged that some facts about Mrs. Clinton happened to ooze past the filters erected by the Lame Stream Clinton Propaganda Project.
    They are terrified that Americans may have 4 years of prosperity, and LIKE it!
    They are horrified that America is starting to see through the lies and prevarications, and may be on the verge of rejecting the “dictatorship of the proletariat” in favor of our Constitutional Republic.

    The idea seems to be to disseminate torrents of bullshit in the hope (knowing the American psyche) and knowledge that some of it sticks. It doesn’t really matter which handful of shit sticks, so long as it sticks enough to confuse the issue of Mr. Trump’s electoral legitimacy. A great swath of America is ignorant and confused in more than one way and the corrupt, one-world, globaloney, scam artists of both parties have to exploit that confusedness and ignorance to (hopefully for them) destabilize America (hence, the World).
    The psychopathic generators of socialism, globalism, izlamism – Satanism, in a nutshell – feed on chaos and are absolutely exultant at the prospect of national and international violence.

  12. They can make all the excuses they want.
    The bottom line is “America woke up”. The TEA PARTY disseminated throughout the USA and Donald J Trump was the guy WE chose to fix this mess. I saw it happening. I went to the rallies in 2009 and 2010. I saw people like me spreading the word over the next six years and grew. True grassroots activism.

    Awaken – by Lawrence Tribble c1770
    One man awake,
    Awakens another.
    The second awakens
    His next door brother.
    The three awake can rouse a town
    By turning
    the whole place
    Upside down
    The many awake
    Can cause such a fuss
    It finally awakens the rest of us.
    One man up,
    With dawn in his eyes
    Surely then
    Multiplies

    No single raindrop determines the size of a river, but whether raindrops fall or don’t fall does.

  13. It’s expected out of tabloids like the Enquirer. No big deal, it’s amusing to stand in line and read headlines: “Michelle to Divorce Barack,” “Bill Clinton Met with Space Aliens,” this stuff sells, and that’s why they are in business. Free press right? With Hillary’s sick faces on the tabloids, it makes me recheck what’s in my basket. Just as I thought, I forgot a bottle of vodka.

  14. So, could the reporters from The National Enquirer honestly be called the last REAL reporters in America?

    Or, has the Main Stream (print) Media just become glorified tabloids?

  17. Just about every newspaper in America endorsed Clinton. Just about every paper in the country raved about how great Hillary was. Any article about Trump was 99% negative. Every mainstream TV news outlet was in the tank for Hillary and against Trump.

    Those newspapers/MSM news stories and endorsements far outweighed anything seen in the supermarket. Not even close. Not even including the celebrity endorsements and social media war. Ergo this excuse is so pathetic, it really shows how the regressives are scraping the bottom of the barrel for excuses.

  21. “…routinely depicted Clinton as crazed, diseased, near death, an ISIS-supporting traitor, a liar, a blackmailer, corrupt and a member of a crime family. The Enquirer’s sister tabloid, the Globe, contributed its own anti-Hillary salvos, claiming she was hooked on pills, crippled with multiple sclerosis, relying on a body double to conceal her illness and had suffered a “shocking crackup.”

    what a bunch of pikers! … they forgot…
    leaving Americans to die in Benghazi
    selling uranium to the Russians
    going spastic every time a light blinked
    calling half the nation ‘deplorable’
    running a ‘play-for-pay’ scam w/ foreign gov’ments while Sec of State
    illegally running several private servers allowing foreign entities access to state secrets … another in a long line of traitorous offenses
    … and on, and on …. and on

  22. In less than a week we have a new president. After more than eight years of suffering leftist hubris, condescension,and uncivil behavior, those of us who oppose leftism are about to serve it back. The losers on the left better get used to crying. They’ll be doing it a lot. Their feeble attemps at delegitimizing Trump’s election only weakens them more. I hope they keep it up.

  23. “The tab routinely depicted Clinton as crazed, diseased, near death, an ISIS-supporting traitor, a liar, a blackmailer, corrupt and a member of a crime family.”

    Yeah, so what’s the problem?
