They continuously wallow in misremebrances of the campaign and the fabricated <em>&#8220;crimes&#8221;<\/em> they imagine she concocted. Part of the reason for the durability of this obsession is the fact that Clinton actually <em>&#8220;won&#8221;<\/em> the election by more than three million votes. But mainly they are just too stupid to come up with something more relevant to discuss, and they are too immersed in Hillary fetishism to let go of a subject they think is advancing their incoherent agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton has been a mixed bag since the campaign. but it hardly matters because she isn&#8217;t a major factor in politics going forward. She has ruled out running for office again, so her opinions are just those of a former statesperson with considerable experience who is exercising her rights like any other citizen. And in that role Clinton was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2018\/nov\/23\/hillary-clinton-us-media-must-get-smarter-tackle-trump-threat\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interviewed by <em>The Guardian<\/em><\/a><\/strong> and she unleashed some of her views about Trump and Fox News. Here are some of the highlights:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;The Republican party has collapsed in the face of Trump.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;I believe that where we are now in the political cycle is that the press does not know how to cover these candidates who are setting themselves on fire every day, who are masters of diversion and distraction.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>[Trump] is someone who craves dominance over any situation he finds himself in. He craves adulation, flattery, all of which fit the profile of leaders we can remember from the past.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Now [Trump] doesn\u2019t attack Fox News, because they\u2019re like a wholly owned subsidiary of Trump and the Republican party now. So he attacks the press and the broadcast media that raise questions about him, that don\u2019t give him fidelity and loyalty.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;You watch Fox News, it\u2019s always, \u2018Something terrible is about to happen\u2019, \u2018Something terrible did happen\u2019, \u2018These people are doing all these awful things\u2019. It is totally divorced from reality, but it is superb propaganda. I don\u2019t know the best way to puncture that. You have to hope that reality catches up with politics and entertainment at some point.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>These are not necessarily revelations. Many people have noted the psychological aberrations of Trump and the sycophantic nature of his coverage by Fox News. But it isn&#8217;t often that these views are openly expressed by former First Ladies, Secretaries of State, or Senators. and that makes them welcome and constructive. After all, with Fox&#8217;s Hillary fetish, you can be sure that they will notice these remarks. Already Fox News host Mark Levin was so rattled that he tweeted what has now been immortalized as <em>Dumb Question #4,782<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Q: How come when Hillary attacks Fox it\u2019s not a threat to the free press?<\/p>\n<p>A: Because she&#39;s a retired grandma from upstate New York with no power over the media, you ignorant blowhard.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News is so obviously State TV that even Trump says so.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SYbDo4g5l0\">https:\/\/t.co\/SYbDo4g5l0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; News Corpse (@NewsCorpse) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/1066050291651403776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 23, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Levin is delusional. While Clinton&#8217;s criticisms are sharp, at no time time does she say anything that can be remotely regarded as a threat. As opposed to Trump who calls the media <em>&#8220;the enemy of the people,&#8221;<\/em> revokes their White House passes, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=39774\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">issues decrees mandating their behavior<\/a><\/strong>, incites violence by the cult followers at his rallies, and advocates new laws to make it easier to sue them. Trump even <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=39537\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">castigated the press as enemies<\/a><\/strong> just hours after some of them had received mail bombs.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is typical of the way that Fox News tries to muddy the waters of political discourse. They deliberately misrepresent facts and purposefully distort reality. Consequently, we need all the help we can get to enlighten the nation as to the nefarious intentions of Trump and Fox News. So even a flawed former public servant like Clinton is doing a significant service by providing an honest characterization of the anti-American agitprop of the Trump administration and their media comrades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been two years since the election of the first Dotard President of the United States.
