In the posting of 11 Oct 2016 on “The Hysteria of
College-Educated Women” it was pointed out that for all the accusations of
Trump’s sexist and demeaning attitude towards women, the media could not find a
single woman who had accused Trump of conduct like that accorded to women by
Bill Clinton. From the beginning,
starting with the first debate, first question, from the humorless Megyn Kelly,
the media went after Trump, suggesting that all women ought to be offended
because he said certain things about certain women.
By that same token, Trump’s love for his daughter and his
wife would go to prove that Trump loved women in the same sense as Kelly’s
examples would prove that Trump was contemptuous of women. There is fault in Megyn’s logic; and the Clinton
campaign has been trying to separate women from the Trump candidacy by
appealing to such illogical hysteria.
And Megyn has proven herself a Hillary girl.
Between debate one, question one and October 11th,
the news coverage of the campaign periodically found women who once worked for
Donald Trump and each one said that while he was a demanding boss, he was
thoroughly professional at all times. It
also became clear that Donald Trump went out of his way to promote women in the
construction business by giving them a chance in his companies. Since these stories ran counter to the
narrative of Trump-as-sexist-pig, they had no news “legs,” and that part of the
Clinton campaign known as the main stream media paid them little or no heed.
It had to be the MSM to carry the water on the
Trump-as-sexist-pig story line because the Hillary Clinton campaign, on account
of Bill’s known conduct, was in no position to fling mud.
NBC sat on the infamous tape of hot-mic locker-room talk
between Donald Trump and Hollywood Access
host Billy Bush for eleven years and through 186 episodes of Trump’s highly
rated reality show The Apprentice. Between then and now Billy Bush moved up in
the network and worked on NBC’s important Today
show, and was seen as a potential replacement for Matt Lauer. Trump is no longer making money for NBC, and
so NBC released the tape at an opportune moment for the Hillary Clinton
campaign.
That created a problem for Billy Bush, and for the
network. NBC promoted someone they now
esteemed as unfit for public television, and so with embarrassment NBC first
suspended Bush and then fired him. No
one has yet asked NBC to explain how it was that Bush got promoted to the Today show when they knew this all along
about him.
Still, the release of the tape drew attention to the peculiar
fact that, for all the talk, the media couldn’t find one women who had accused
Trump of sexual assault. Even the 1995
Miss Universe winner, Miss Piggy, never accused Trump of unwanted touching, only
that he called her bad names in a stern voice for violating her contract and
costing him a lot of money.
Conveniently, women finally started coming forward - as at
this writing a total of eight. One of
the first was represented by lawyer Gloria Allred, and that is a sign that something
is not on all fours. A writer for People
Magazine, Natasha Stoynoff, accused Trump of “forcing himself on her” in 2005. Another, Jessica Leeds, accused Trump of
molesting her on a flight in the 1980s, allegedly raising the armrest between
them and began groping her.
Both of these accusations were met with contrary
evidence. Trump’s former butler said he
was present at all times during the People Magazine interview and that nothing
of the sort alleged had occurred. The
sexual molestation on a flight was refuted by an eye witness, another first
class passenger, coming forward and saying nothing of the sort happened, that
it was Ms. Leeds who was the flirtatious one; and as it also turned out that
armrests in first class on the aircraft in question could not be lifted
easily. To say nothing of the
attentiveness of flight attendants to the first class cabin in those days.
To Mr. Trump’s credit, a number of highly credible people
have come forward to say that they have known Trump for twenty-five years or
more and have been with him in all sorts of situations, and they have witnessed
nothing of the sort assaultive behavior by him alleged by these women. Rudi Giuliani and Judge Jeanine Pirro are
two of them. Bill O’Reilly has known
Trump for thirty years, and if there was truth to the accusations, he would
know who to interview to give credence to the narrative; and so far, he has
not.
Later today, the National
Enquirer is going to publish a front page story of Hillary Clinton’s sexual
exploits. This bombshell is going to
allege that a sexual fixer arranged trysts for Hillary with both men and women on
a dozen different occasions beginning in 1994, that he helped cover up
Hillary’s affair with Vince Foster, and that he was paid by the Clintons. Let’s see whether the MSM carries this story,
and how. Do they dismiss it, or do they
give it serious investigation? Hillary’s
lesbian predilections have been rumored for years, and in better times Bill
Clinton said as much privately to Donald Trump.
National Enquirer
is the newspaper that exposed the John Edwards – Rielle Hunter affair, and all
the other media were scooped on that major political story. After all the filth flung at Trump, let’s see
how the MSM covers a similar sort of bombshell exposé on Hillary.
