WARNING: Disturbing Content
We’re temporarily suspending the HomaFiles usually high editorial standards … this is a story that must be told.
=====
Earlier this week, the UK’s Daily Mail led it’s coverage with the following story:
======
The article has so many angles that it’s a ‘must view to believe ” …
======
Remember the the infamous topless photos of Kate Middleton a couple of years ago?
Well, stepping up the game the DM got their paws on a picture portfolio of Chelsea in a “mismatched bikini”.
OMG …
The pictures were the “tease” that got readers into the story.
It’s the content that packs the whammy!
======
Some excerpts from the “reporting”
Baby Charlotte, who turns one year old next month, was no where to be seen as her parents enjoyed the summer outing.
Think Grandma Hil-Rod was watching the grandchild that she now incessantly speaks about?
======
Clinton may have been fundraising for her mother’s campaign over the weekend, as Diller is a outspoken supporter of the Democratic party and contributed $40,000 to President Obama’s re-election campaign in 2012.
Diller, who is worth an estimated $2.6billion, is also the chairman of IAC/InterActiveCorp, a media company which counts the young Clinton as a board member.
Diller’s wife, von Furstenberg, is New York-based fashion designer who made her breakout in the industry with her iconic wrap dress.
Von Furstenberg is also a staunch supporter of the Democratic party, and once said that she doesn’t want any Republicans shopping in her stores.
Think these top 1% of the 1% were talking about how to fight for the middle-class?

In a week, Clinton, Mezvinsky and their daughter will be joining Chelsea’s parents, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton, for a vacation in the Hamptons.
Bill and Hillary will head to the Hamptons , and their daughter and son-in-law with meet them as they spend two weeks in the ritzy seaside town of Amagansett.
As a loyal HomaFiles’ reader opined, the headline should have read:
“Unemployed daughter of public servants takes lavish trip to Sardinia to prepare for a two-week vacation in the Hamptons“
======
If you need a chuckle today, just speed-read some of the photo captions.
Some of my favorites:
- “The couple wrapped themselves in towels after swimming and sported sunglasses to block their eyes from the bright sun” … stop the presses!
- “The couple was no doubt missing their baby girl on their active day out” … huh?
- The nautical stripes of Clinton’s mismatched bikini. The solid white shirt seemed to match her striped bikini bottoms” … probably coached by von Furstenberg, but doesn’t white go with everything?
- “When the boat was parked, one passenger organized where to put the ladder used to get in and out of the water” … thank God that somebody took control of the situation.
- “She spent time on the back of the boat, absorbing sun rays, but likely had to put on plenty of sunscreen to protect her skin in the bright sun” … just protecting the family jewels, I guess.
- “The boat had enough seating area for each passenger” … Juno detail is too small
Is there a special Pulitzer Prize for photo=captioning?.
======
Seriously, though …
I think this was a Trojan Horse article.
Notice how the story has randomly sprinkled tidbits about Clinton’s email scandal.
If the headline had been “Hillary under FBI investigation”, most people – especially left-leaners — would have clicked past the story.
But, who can pass on shots of Chelsea in a bikini?
Clever move by the Daily Mail to expose readers to Hillary’s private-server-in-the-bathroom scandal.

P.S. Be sure to read the readers’ comments … they’re a hoot.
