Rules for Covering Hillary

[midcan5]

This is why media has become so untrustworthy. Ever since corporations bought them out to promote the free market mentality that brought us the great recession, all you get from them is complete BS. When the brain washed write the news you get baloney sandwiches. Best to scour the net carefully for the few pieces of honesty left in America. Vox is often worth a look.


'Confessions of a Clinton reporter: The media's 5 unspoken rules for covering Hillary'

"The reporter's job is to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable" — a credo that, humorously, was originally written as a smear of the self-righteous nature of journalists. And so the justification for going after a public figure increases in proportion to his or her stature. The bigger the figure, the looser the restraints."

That article is pretty much just a whole lot of hooey. It attempts to rationalize away serious concerns about the Clintons, based on a few bogus ones over the years.

In reality, the MSM is still running interference for Hillary and it will be interesting to see how long they hold out on publishing the supposedly upcoming data dump on Wikileaks.

Keep your eye out to see what media outlets publish that news first because the MSM, outside of Fox, will ignore it as long as possible -- until they no longer can. Then, we'll see a lot of finger-pointing, accusations of error and gawd knows what else.

Hillary is still MSM's darling.

CNN did a report on Hillary last night that ended on a focus on how her lack of transparency in, for example, the many different stories she told about her email server, has led people to believe she's dishonest.

OP is working overtime. Balloon knot must be sore from the sheer amount of released chaff.

LMAO @ CNN calling Hillary's multitude of sociopathic lies on the topic of her e-mails "a lack of transparency." Now THAT is some funny reporting. :biglaugh:

Where's the beef? Harry Frankfurt got it right and Goebbels too, BS and lie, and they will believe. Where's the beef? Whenever I ask for specifics I get nothing.

Here's a prime example. http://benghazicommittee.com/benghazi-by-the-numbers/

Much of the "media" are typists for the DNC, however, they can't not report on real news on occasion. They do hit Hillary hard at times, but mostly cover for her.

I certainly would not want to "cover" Hillary. I'll leave that to Huma.
