The Hill: Hillary Clinton has an unlikely ally in her bid to defeat Donald Trump this fall: the media.
The Democratic presidential front-runner has had a long, contentious relationship with the press, most notably in her 2008 run for the White House. But 2016 figures to be much different.
Much of the political media disdain Trump, and that feeling is palpable in green rooms in New York City and Washington, D.C.
The thought of a Trump presidency simply scares political journalists for a number of reasons, including his proposal to “open up” libel laws to make it easier to sue media companies.
Many pundits had to eat their words when they predicted Trump would implode and had no shot at winning the Republican nomination. Now that the celebrity businessman is the presumptive nominee, Trump critics in the media, including some on the right, don’t want him to win in November. (more)

I've said so over and over and over - Without the media to prop her up, (and most of hollywood in general) (same thing) SHE WOULD COLLAPSE.
Good morning.
Pro Hillary ABC, CNN, CBS, NBC Clintonopolis/Ellen hack media themes:
-Her server is in trouble, not her
-Her server is under investigation, not her
-Her staff screwed up, not her
-She already said she was sorry - isn't that good enough?
-Leave poor Hillary alone!
-She's the front runner (Bernie who?)
repeat as needed.
Her server became self aware the day Hillary announced she was running again.
Good thing Hillary's pals in Kentucky found enough votes to save her wrinkled corrupt buck-toothed old carcass face.
David Burge take is hilarious...
"The media have propped up Hillary's political corpse so long, she should be the one named Bernie."
LOL - good one.
1/2 of Kentucky democrats rejected Hillary, a state she won in 2008, and the media are all giddy over her supposed 1000 vote lead.
Media singing: Hillary won!
I'm going pay that forward, if it's Ok with Lem and David B.
Sure thing April.
Why is this a surprise. The media has always p rote red Hillary and Democrats in general.
Unlikely? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha......
Ditto, just generally.
What's going to be fun is the fact the media also loves Bernie in the way you love that one nerdy guy who just can't get a date so you ask everybody if they know someone that's free when you're all going out and the Bernie crowd isn't going gently into that good night. The stridently pro-Hillary Commissioner of elections in KY must have pulled those last 2000 votes that gave Hillary the state out of her ass since Bernie led almost all night.
And the Republicans were supposed to have all the trouble this summer.
As I said yesterday, this death threat dirty trick in Nevada is classic Clinton. She has people making those threats in the name of Sanders people. A Pulitzer Prize story if it weren't Clinton.
Clinton won several of these states by a pubic hair, including the first one, Iowa. Being a craps player and understanding odds and probability, the dice are loaded!! There's another Pulitzer waiting to be written.
A lot of those were because she'd bought up the superdelegates.
word is, the demos are finally starting to rethink whether they're a good idea.
I think all superdelegates should wear capes so that we know which ones they are.
I think they should wear t-shirts and vests and carry a big set of keys on ring like Schneider from One Day at a Time.
Oh yeah and have a pack of cigarettes rolled in his sleeve. That would be for Bernie's hipsters who all smoke like chimneys.
"Unlikely"? What are you talking about.
They've been shilling for her harder than any media has at any other time for any other politician. 45% of the voice of the rest of "her" party (and a lot of people who agree with them) has been completely shut-out. It doesn't get any crazier than that.
Maybe those superdelegates should have those big codpieces they wore in Greek farces, since they obviously intend to screw Bernie and his supporters.
