60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl, on FNC’s MediaBuzz on Sunday, May 8, maintained the media are not pro-Hillary Clinton, pushing back against host Howard Kurtz: “I’ve never bought that.”
Howard Kurtz: “Many people think the media love Hillary Clinton, but she’s had her own history of testy relations with journalists. Why is that?”
Lesley Stahl: “Who says the media loves Hillary?”
Kurtz: “There’s a lot of people out there who think the liberal press wants Hillary Clinton to win.”
Stahl: “Yeah, I’ve heard that, but I don’t think -- I’ve never bought that, you know. Having covered the White House through Democrat Jimmy Carter and Reagan following, I mean, Reagan got a much softer, easier press than Jimmy Carter did so, I mean, when people look behind what they’re saying and feeling, they’ll see that the evidence isn’t there. I think that the press is much more biased against power, real power, than you know, against one party or the next.”
