Hillary Clinton called Macron’s victory in France a defeat for that interfering with democracy while taking a clear shot at the US media.
Clinton tweeted:
Too many in the US media still don’t want to hear about Russian election interference and how it helped Trump and hurt Clinton. The reason why they don’t want to hear about it from Clinton is that if they had to soberly look at the role of Russia in getting Trump elected, they would also need to evaluate their own role in helping Russia get Trump elected.
Until the corporate media learns from their 2016 behavior, it can’t be said often enough. By pushing Russian hacked emails as news, and letting Russia and Trump dominate the coverage with their anti-Clinton message during the homestretch of the campaign, the US media enabled Putin to get Trump elected president.
Cable news and the corporate media have still not examined their own role in the election. Unlike the press in France, the US media ran with the email story, downplayed the Russian election interference, and showed zero restraint while chasing profit and ratings in 2016.
Hillary Clinton has strong beliefs about what happened in the election, and she is not going to be told what she can and can’t talk about by a corporate press establishment that often acted as a Trump lap dog.
Clinton was right. Macron’s win was a victory for democracy over Putin. The media doesn’t want to hear it, but they can’t hide forever from their own failings in 2016.
