In a Dec. 17 NewsBusters post, P.J. Gladnick is very, very upset that the media is taking at face value Hillary Clinton’s claim of a concussion as a reason to testify before Congress about the Benghazi attack, insisting that it has been “conveniently untreated” and that “mainstream sources conveniently bought into Hillary’s excuse.” Gladnick adds, “One has to wonder if these same reporters would have lacked any skepticism if, say, H.R. Haldeman had claimed that a ‘concussion’ for which he was not hospitalized prevented him from testifying about Watergate.”
The MRC has long despised Hillary Clinton — Brent Bozell and Tim Graham even wrote a book trying to pre-emptively torpedo her 2008 presidential campaign. So why wouldn’t it treat her concussion as some sort of Watergate-level conspiracy?
