Scarborough: We Cut a Lot of Dem Focus Group Clip Because Too Negative About Hillary

Is it the MSM's role to protect Hillary's image by preventing the public from seeing what members of her own party think about her? Today's Morning Joe, played footage from a Dem focus group in New Hampshire in which there was near unanamity that Hillary's personality could be a serious turn-off to voters, particularly male ones.

Joe Scarborough then said this: "We actually cut a good bit in there, out, that was even more negative of Hillary because we thought it was actually too negative and didn't like some of the connotations there.

Note: the focus group was conducted by Mark Halperin, anything but a Republican shill, in conjunction with Purple Strategies, which as its name suggests is dedicated to playing things down the middle. And the negative comments came not after something Halperin had said that might tend to elicit criticism of Hillary from the participants, but to the contrary, after, said Halperin "we showed a video of what we thought was her at her best."
