Media Double Standard on Activists Booted from Hillary and Trump Rallies

When Hillary Clinton kicked a rape victim out of her rally, after the woman had asked her about Bill Clinton's rape, the media cheered her on.

Typical headlines;

Hillary Clinton Shuts Down Heckler: 'You Are Very Rude' ABC News

Watch Hillary Clinton Shut Down Heckler: “You Are Very Rude” - Slate

'You are very rude': Clinton takes on heckler at town hall - Daily Mail

Hillary Clinton Will Have None Of Your Heckling - Huffington Post -

Media: See How Awesome Hillary is While Silencing a Rape Victim (and then having her led out by security)

But the rules are very different for Trump hecklers, who get a hell of a sympathetic media platform once they're evicted. Typical media headline about an evicted Muslim Trump heckler

Muslim woman says Trump backers are supporting 'hateful rhetoric' - Reuters

Muslim woman led out of Trump rally; group seeks apology- Washington Post

'Salam, I Come in Peace': Muslim Woman Ejected from Donald Trump Rally After -  People Magazine  

Now whatever you might think of Trump, Hillary or Muslims, it's easy to spot the difference between the two sets of headlines. The Hillary ones focus on what Hillary said or did. Information about the heckler comes below the fold. She is the object being acted on by Hillary's awesomeness, not the subject. The Muslim heckler however gets her point of view right in the headline. She's the object. Trump is the subject.

The media viewpoint is very blatantly obvious here. You're supposed to empathize with Hillary, not her heckler, and with Trump's heckler. And that's the way the bias cookie is baked.
