Has the media been treating Hillary unfairly?

yes, unfairly positively

I disagree with Hillary lovers here.

Sure, she was treated unfairly in 2008, but we all loved Obama then, so the unfair treatment was entirely justified. I mean, Obama was so much better than Hillary (and still is).

She has not been treated unfairly in this cycle. Her scandals are swept under the rug, her failings are overlooked. She is the establishment and the media candidate now, which makes her so much more formidable.

But at the same time, she is flawed. Rotten to the core. And that's why she's having trouble. It's not the media. It's all her. The media are actually helping her at every opportunity.

Let me just give you one example that the media are in the tank for her. Remember her speeches for which she was paid a quarter of a million apiece? Back in November 2014 I used that as my chief argument for why I thought she would not be running. I reckoned, it would be extremely difficult for her to explain why she kept having those highly paid speeches if she had decided she was going to run. I believed then that if she did that, she would be destroyed by the media.
But no. The media have not asked her a single meaningful question about those speeches. Were those speeches some kind of a bribe by wealthy donors so she would do their bidding once elected? I mean, I wouldn't let up on this if I were the media until I destroyed her completely.

So, the media have been treating Hillary unfairly positively, so far.

Clinton's problem was being the clear frontrunner for so long - it enabled the very potent Republican smear machine to zero in on a single target for months.

It's not a smear machine if they're telling the truth.
