UPDATE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Weeks ago, I told you about how Andrea Mitchell dismissed\u00a0Juanita Broaddrick\u2019s claims of rape against Bill Clinton as \u201cdiscredited.\u201d \u00a0Well, apparently NBC has seen the light, because they secretly edited out that pesky, inaccurate, victim-blaming word. \u00a0Look at the difference in the below video, where you can see the original (which is still available below) compared with the new version:<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\nWhile it is really sneaky to edit that word out now, it\u2019s a step in the right direction that NBC has apparently decided that\u00a0Broaddrick\u2019s claims are credible\u2026 \u00a0or at least they have decided not to simply make things up.<\/p>\nClick CONTINUE to see my ORIGINAL PIECE.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\nThe press freaked out when Donald Trump brought up the \u201cR\u201d word when describing former President Bill Clinton during a Sean Hannity interview. When discussing a New York Times piece on Trump\u2019s former lovers, Trump pointed out that his behavior with women was perfectly acceptable\u2026 especially since Clinton\u2019s incidents have gone unscrutinized.<\/p>\nHere\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2016\/05\/19\/trump-refers-to-alleged-bill-clinton-sexual-indiscretions-as-rape.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">the exchange<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\u201cBy the way, you know, it\u2019s not like the worst things, OK,\u201d Trump said. \u201cYou look at what Clinton\u2019s gone through with all of the problems and all of the things that he\u2019s done.\u201d<\/p>\nHannity went on to question whether the newspaper would interview women including Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey. All three have accused Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct.<\/p>\n\u201cIn one case, it\u2019s about exposure. In another case, it\u2019s about groping and fondling and touching against a woman\u2019s will,\u201d Hannity said.<\/p>\n\u201cAnd rape,\u201d Trump responded.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nOf course,\u00a0this sent shock waves through the political elite and the media (oh-but-I-repeat-myself) who have done their best to cover up Clinton\u2019s sexually predatory behavior. \u00a0See Juanita Broaddrick\u2019s most credible description of\u00a0what happened in an Arkansas hotel room many years ago here:<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MRC TV video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrctv.org\/embed\/116506\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\nJust as reporters covered up Bill Cosby\u2019s behavior, they\u2019re at it again. \u00a0Watch Andrea Mitchell minimize\u00a0Broaddrick\u2019s claim with one dismissive phrase:<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QonsefADmE8\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\nIn other words, NBC is perfectly willing to take the President at his word. \u00a0#WarOnWomen? \u00a0We know which party is really waging that one.<\/p>\nAndrea Mitchell, instead of dismissing the accusations, perhaps you could be a real journalist and investigate the claims?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just as reporters covered up Bill Cosby’s behavior, they’re at it again.
