Of Course Hillary Clinton Deleted those Benghazi Emails on Purpose

This article, Of Course Hillary Clinton Deleted those Benghazi Emails on Purpose, clearly lays out Kerry Jackson's opinion of Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Jackson claims that Clinton didn't just delete personal emails, but also emails about Benghazi because she knew that the attack was going to happen and the emails would get her in trouble. It also says that Clinton should have known Benghazi would be in trouble because of a 1976 attack and that this lie falls into a long pattern, going back to her husband's presidency.

The entire article focuses on Clinton's faults and lies, including those of her husband, without giving any data or sources for these claims. Without sources or evidence to back her claim, Jackson is just complaining about Clinton and trying to turn supporters away. Jackson is using 'framing', as Chapter 1 talks about, to make Clinton look like a villain. Shaming Clinton's email use without any actual evidence makes her look bad to conservatives and those who are against her, without actually telling the real story.

How has framing candidates as villains changed the 2016 election?
Just as Hillary Clinton knew that the Benghazi attacks were planned terrorism, she knew that emails related to it would be a political problem. (AP)
