For more than twenty years, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd has been attacking Hillary Clinton from a shallow well of insults, routinely portraying the former secretary of state and first lady as an unlikeable, power-hungry phony.

Media Matters analyzed 195 columns by Dowd since November 1993 containing significant mentions of Clinton for whether they included any of 16 negative tropes in five categories (listed in the below methodology). 72 percent (141 columns) were negative towards Clinton -- only 8 percent (15 columns) were positive. The remaining 20 percent (39 columns) were neutral.
I have not read a lot of Dowd, and hardly at all in the last few years, but isn't that percentage breakdown pretty much par for the course for her with everyone she writes about -- mostly negative, critical with biting satire (or attempts)? I can't imagine GWB, Christy, The Bloviating Billionaire, Guiliani, Bubba Clinton, or any of her other regulars do any better.

Apparently I missed ending this thread by two posts. I'll try to step up my game. Sorry!

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
