Conservative strategist Lisa Marie Boothe appeared on Fox News Channel’s MediaBuzz and called out liberal media for their bias in favor of defending Hillary Clinton. “The problem is the media should be adept enough to be able cover [Donald Trump], while simultaneously covering the stuff Hillary Clinton has,” argued Boothe, “You should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.” And throughout all of her bashing of the liberal media she backed it up with studies conducted by the Media Research Center.
As the show progressed the topic of Clinton’s new E-Mail controversy came before the panel. “Do you believe the media are intentionally playing down these E-Mails or is it just the story has been simply over shadowed by all of the controversies that swirl around Trump,” asked host Howard Kurtz. “I think they're absolutely covering up for Hillary Clinton,” remarked Boothe, “I think that you look at the coverage of ABC, CBS and NBC, they gave two times more coverage to the Trump Tower climber than they did these new revelations on Hillary Clinton E-Mails.”
Another study put together by the MRC was mentioned when the panel moved on to discussing the media coverage of Clinton’s, now disavowed, support from the father of the Orlando nightclub terrorist, Seddique Mateen. “Can campaigns be held responsible for any loon who wants to offer support,” inquired Kurtz.
Boothe responded:
The problem here is that the David Duke endorsement got six times the media coverage of the terrorist father endorsing Hillary Clinton and attending her rally. Because we all know that if he had attended a Donald Trump rally that would be front page news the next day and would all but completely discredit his campaign.
