Yes (normal)

I remember back in 2013 when Bill Clinton was one of the most popular presidents. He had extraordinarily high approval ratings. Hillary was crushing her opponents in the polls by double digits. Hillary seemed inevitable.

Starting 2015 or so, the so-called "liberal media" decided to portray Hillary in an unfair way. The media has been constantly and unfairly attacking her for faux scandals like Emailgate. As a result, her approval ratings have dropped significantly, but she's still comfortably ahead of her Republican opponents.

The media has been portraying Sanders as the next coming of Jesus Christ though. Its sickening. Hillary used be incredibly popular until the so-called "liberal media" started to attack her because of faux scandals like Emailgate.

What do you guys think?

It started way before 2015, remember when she first started giving interviews again in mid-2014 and they latched onto the "flat broke" comment? There was no controversy with that remark so they kept hammering away at it until they created one.

The FBI does not normally concern itself with faux scandals. But if this idea lets you sleep better at night, run with it...

I agree that the media hasn't been great to Clinton, but...

Only in Atlas land could people possibly think Clinton gets "unfairly positive" media coverage. The mind boggles.

All it says is "Crimson Hexagon". That could mean anything. I'd like to see this data myself.

Anyone who thinks the media treats Hillary fairly needs to get their head checked.  It's seriously one of the top three things people know about Hillary.
1)  First woman X
2)  Secretary of state
3)  Media hates her guts

Yes, obviously. The media has loathed Hillary since 1992. Cast your mind back to the insane media bias in the '08 primary race.

No duh.

It's kinda a vicious cycle of the media dumping on Hillary, and Hillary treating the issue like a vendetta.

Only Richard Nixon's press relations compare.

"The media" is not one entity. Some media are biased towards Clinton; others are biased against her. The question is unanswerable.

It's well established that this forum is mostly consumed by Hillary Derangement Syndrome (HDS).

lol? The forum mostly agrees (poll results) with the Hillary victimization meme that everything is unfair to her.

Until she gets into an election the media is positive towards her.

My best guess is that the media really wanted to sell headlines this time like in the 2008 primary but it didn't happen as much in 2016 because she was stronger somewhat than she was back in 2008.
