The Google results for Rep. Katie Hill, predictably biased toward corporate lefty media sources, are full of headlines about Hill denying the affair. Or, in the case of CNN, “Congresswoman shuts down improper relations rumors”.

Expect a correction to be appended around doomsday even though the denial has turned to an admission.

A day after the barrage of “Rep Katie Hill denies inappropriate relationship”, there are a barrage of, “Rep. Katie Hill of California admits to inappropriate relationship” headlines, none of which actually call out Rep. Hill or her people for gaslighting for media.

Instead, the media was and is happy to make Rep. Hill’s claims of her abusive husband the focus, which is completely irrelevant to the issue of her having an affair with a staff member.

Now the actual scandal, in this day and age, probably doesn’t matter. That’s a sad reality. We are well past the Clinton era and no one expects moral behavior from politicians. An ethics investigation is a meaningless formality.

But one would think that the media would care that it had been manipulated and used by an unstable politicians with personal issues, not even for a political agenda, but to try and shove her personal life messes back into the closet.

Nope. Crickets. From the very same media that insists that President Trump said 419 false things in the last nanosecond.

But the media stopped caring about its own credibility long ago. Why should it be offended that Rep. Hill took it at its word?
