Just saw on CNN where Hillary is too DEFENSIVE. What does that mean? She is not supposed to

[Mamajami]

defend herself from lies and innuendo?

I just don't get it. After all these years of attacks with lies and unfounded allegations we should not expect that Hillary will defend herself? The double and now triple standard of the media and most GOP voters is sickening.

Trump doesn't defend himself because he doesn't have to. People know he is lying and they don't care and he knows it.

1. No matter what Hillary does or how she does it, it will be wrong.

That's the fate of most high-profile women. You're too quiet or too loud; too defensive or too confrontational (meaning: bitchy); too timid (meaning: weak) or too aggressive (meaning: castrating). Too attractive (meaning: slut) or too ugly (meaning: old hag). She should just do what she thinks she needs to do and to hell with the pundits.

14. Unfortunately true

[grossproffit]

3. Sexism is alive and well. It's a disgusting display.

[skylucy]

4. No worries. Trump is thin skinned and will leave his flaky skin orangeness

all over the debate floor. Trump being a lying sack of shit trump's "defensive".

[anamandujano]

10. Well said!

[HassleCat]

5. Media have no shame.

They treat Trump as if he had any credibility, in spite of his history as a con man, birther, etc. They demand Hillary "respond to these allegations" and then call her overly defensive when she does respond. We live in the age of reality TV, and the TV "news" is part of it.

8. It more of the Media's veiled sexism. They spewed the same thing after the Matt Lauer

interview

There is such a double standard it makes me want to puke

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Veiled? Hell; it's buck-naked!

[still_one]

17. Yup, you are absolutely right

[anamandujano]

9. Someone was defending CNN in another thread, saying they were pretty even-handed. Nope!

[LAS14]

12. This election has been an education.

I was in college when Betty Friedan published The Feminine Mystique. I thought I had seen an incredible amount of progress. But the amount of double standards I've seen applied, even from supposedly intelligent people like Mark Shields and David Brooks has just floored me!

13. In another interview, this same CNN person(Poppy)repeated the

"Hillary will put coal miners out of work" lie.

[TheDebbieDee]

19. I have subscribed to a coal miners forum on FB...

They believe that Barack Obama is alone responsible for the reduction of demand for coal because of over-regulation. I keep arguing that coal mining is going away because the Earth only has a limited amount of coal. I get that they are scared but they need to learn how to do something else, something cleaner, something safer...

16. STOP THE "CONCERNING". She will WIN the debate AND the ELECTION!

[LeftRant]

18. CNN sucks.

It hasn't been good since the first gulf war.

[RBInMaine]

20. STOP THE "CONCERNING". She will WIN the debate AND the ELECTION!

[FrenchieCat]

21. The fact that you are watching CNN

Was your first mistake!

The fact that you posted here about what someone on CNN said negatively about Hillary Clinton was your 2nd mistake!
