With no president and few celebrities, the hype is gone this year. Many journalists are glad.

Former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was asked in an official congressional inquiry from former House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) about whether she used a private email for government work as far back as 2012.

If someone falsely accuses another person of a crime, like child abuse or sexual assault, then the false accuser needs to be punished harshly. Too often, false accusers are given just slaps on the wrist — and receive nowhere near the punishment someone actually guilty of the accused crime would receive. This diminishes the harm that false accusations do to the people they are lodged against, who are often branded in the media as some of the worst criminals imaginable: child abuser or rapist. Case in point: Taylier Tibbetts accused the father of her child of abusing the boy, and even went so far as to alter photos of her son to make him appear bruised. After she made the false accusation to police, she opened a GoFundMe account to raise money for herself and her son using the false claim.

As Nicholas Fondacaro at NewsBusters noted on Friday, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow's obsession with the money raised for President Donald Trump's inauguration went into overdrive the previous evening. During the same show, Maddow combined that obsession with another one shared by most of the news media — the absolute necessity to avoid blaming Venezuela's dire economic circumstances on its Bolivarian socialist form of government and its de facto dictator Nicolas Maduro — to come up with the most ridiculous reason imaginable as to why civil order in Venezuela has broken down.

Chalk it up to the rigors of a book tour, if one is inclined to be charitable. Otherwise this comes across as delusional. New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, making the media rounds to flog his new book, "Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in an Age of Accelerations," made an assertion on NPR's On Point with Tom Ashbrook on Nov. 22 that surely set off guffaws coast to coast.

Regarding Donald Trump’s private sexual comments: We are living through a national hysteria. To understand how and why, it is necessary to understand the indispensable role hysteria plays on the left. The Left is always in major crisis mode. And in nearly every case, the crisis is wildly exaggerated or simply false — in other words, hysteria. For example: Few people deny that the earth is warming. To assert that is not hysteria. What is hysteria is the Left’s position that carbon emissions will destroy life on Earth. No one denies that there are racist cops. What is hysteria is the Left’s claim that innocent blacks are routinely shot to death by racist cops. The widespread protests against the name Washington “Redskins” were pure left-wing hysteria — ended only by the revelation through polling that the vast majority of American Indians couldn’t care less about the name. The examples are endless: from the alleged epidemic of heterosexual AIDS in America and preschool molestation scares in the ’80s to the wildly exaggerated dangers of secondhand smoke and the baseless fears about electronic cigarettes. We are regularly forced to endure a new left-wing-manufactured, media-supercharged hysteria. The latest is the tsunami of horror in reaction to Donald Trump’s gross and juvenile comments made in private eleven years ago. The tsunami of condemnation of his remarks is quintessential left-wing hysteria. That more than a few Republicans and conservatives have joined the hysteria is a testament to the power of mass media and hysteria to influence normally sensible people. This is hysteria first and foremost because the comments were made in private. I would say the same thing if crass comments made by Hillary Clinton in private conversation had been recorded. In fact, I did. In 2000, in a Wall Street Journal column, I defended Hillary Clinton against charges that she was an anti-Semite. That year, it was reported that Clinton had called Paul Fray, the manager of her husband’s failed 1974 congressional campaign, a “f***ing Jew bastard.” Even the left-wing newspaper the Guardian reported that three people — two witnesses and Mr. Fray — confirmed the report. Nevertheless, I wrote in the Journal, “I wish to defend Mrs. Clinton. I do so as a practicing Jew and a Republican. . . . We must cease this moral idiocy of judging people by stray private comments.” I gave two more examples: One was Harry Truman, who often used the word “kike” when referring to Jews. Yet he was the Jews’ greatest friend when he changed Jewish history by resisting powerful State Department opposition and recognized the State of Israel. The other was Richard Nixon, who made anti-Jewish remarks in private conversations in the Oval Office. These were revealed on tapes he himself made of his conversations, and he was accordingly widely labeled an anti-Semite. Yet, as president, Nixon appointed the first American Jewish secretary of state and, more important, literally saved Israel’s life with his quick airlift of military supplies during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. If Hillary wins, will conservatives who gave up on Trump really think that it was worth having a left-wing Supreme Court? As I concluded: “It is highly misleading to probe private comments for evidence of anti-Semitism, racism, bigotry, and sexism.” In addition to not taking all private comments seriously, Republicans, conservatives, and independents need to ask themselves whether what Trump said — not did, but said – in a private conversation is any way comparable to the truly awful things Hillary Clinton and her husband have done both to women and to the country. They also need to ask themselves whether it is worth giving the Left the White House over such trivia. If Hillary Clinton wins, will Republicans and conservatives who gave up on Trump because of this recording really think that it was worth having a left-wing Supreme Court for the next 30 years; having left-wing judges completely dominate lower federal courts; radically curtailing religious liberty in America; having speech codes go from colleges to the society as a whole; massively increasing the size of the government and of the debt; bringing in tens of thousands of refugees from the Arab Middle East; and having open borders — all because of this recording? How can anyone answer in the affirmative? The answer is the left-wing hysteria got to them. On the same day the recording came out, so did leaked e-mails that revealed that Hillary Clinton told a Brazilian bank in 2013 that she is for “open borders.” Open borders mean the end of the United States as we know it. That, my fellow Americans, is worth getting hysterical about. — Dennis Prager is a nationally syndicated radio talk-show host and columnist.
