This week’s Mainstream Media Scream features more positive spin on Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, who failed twice to win the presidency and lately has been listing the reasons she lost to first-time candidate Donald Trump.
During an appearance on Charlie Rose’s PBS show Wednesday, Amie Parnes of The Hill, co-author of the well-received book Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign, talked about Clinton’s brilliance.
Rose asked about what’s ahead for Clinton, wondering: “Could she become a university president or something like that?”
Parnes insisted: “She could do anything. She’s one of the smartest people – she will always be the smartest woman in the room, I think.”

Media Research Center Vice President of Research Brent Baker explains the pick: “Hard to resist asking how she lost if she’s always ‘the smartest woman in the room?’ Journalists like Parnes remain convinced of Hillary’s brilliance, unable to comprehend how more Americans don’t see what they see and how she could have been outmaneuvered by a man they consider a buffoon.”
Rating: Four out of five screams.
