Meet the Press: Clinton Campaign organ

Redress said:
Your attempt at victimhood is laughable. The media is biased towards profit. Sex sells. Discussing the sex scandal that people seem to be interested in is where the profits lie. There is no one to blame but Trump. He made the comments which are now an issue, he spent much time on it.

The fact is, MTP and other MSM have spent 7 times more on Trump's "scandals" which have no relevance to national security vs Clinton's scandals which do

Your attempt to divert is hilarious. This is about the fact that the MSM is no longer a watchdog of both campaigns but an attack dog for the Democrats and its been that way since about 1980

How many MSM reporters who are covering the Presidential election are former Campaign managers for Republican Presidential candidates or are married to people who run corporations that say do mass mailings for Republican or conservative causes?

The MSM is full of people reporting on this election who are clear partisan hacks. Like Chuck Todd who worked for leftwing democrat Harkin's presidential campaign and whose wife is a major operative for the Democrat party.

I realize when that sort of bias is in your favor you pretend it doesn't exist

The only time anyone of Democrat persuasion can detect any bias on the part of the MSM is when it's Democratic primary season.

THEN they're all "in the tank" for the other guy.

Its Hilarious how none of the Hillary fan club members even address the fact that the lead of MTP is a Democrat party activist married to a woman whose business works for democrats and progressive causes. They ignore that as if it means nothing

In other words, the damning evidence is some where on the internet. And you can type a full post but can't find a way to clarify exactly one of those horrific revelations in a single sentence.

Because it's 'not your job'.

Or because it's 'not there'?

In other words, I don't want to waste time posting things readily available simply for you to dismiss them either by denigrating the source, or by trying to get into a lengthy debate about the relative value of the information.

The basic point stands, new information about collusion and corruption is there, but the media either ignores it or submerges it as a one-line comment among other news.

Simply go to YouTube and search "Clinton WikiLeaks." :coffeepap:

If anyone has watched meet the press today, you know what I am stating. Mike Pence was just on and Chuck Todd was doing everything possible to derail Pence from talking about any issue other than the "trump scandals"

When Biden was on a few minutes earlier, there was no attempt to question Biden about the Clinton scandals and let him whine about Trump. There isn't even a pretense of trying to be balanced anymore.

Chuck Todd worked for the presidential campaign of left wing Democrat Tom Harkin. His wife is head of a company that provides direct mail services for Democrats and left wing causes

My wife saw it this morning and got so disgusted, she turned off the TV.

She said they did not give Pence a chance to answer even one question before interrupting him again and again.

They also REFUSED to change the subject.

It was nothing but an attack job.
 
BrewerBob said:
I dislike Hillary but I dislike Trump orders of magnitude more. But I still recognize the media is strongly biased in favor of Hillary.

I think they are focusing on Trump's scandals more than the Wikileaks for two reasons. First, yes, because they are biased in favor of Hillary. And second, Trump's scandals are "sexier" than Hillary's and that is what gets the ratings.
Click to expand...

This is spot on. There is obvious collusion between MSM and Hillary per Wikileaks; beyond that however, yes, the sex sells angle is very much prominent, and between these things material Wikileaks content gets buried. That having been said, this situation is very unfortunate, and a symptom of the failings of said media.

Maybe that's because they are inherently less qualified as a group to do political commentary?

After all, to be a mainstream GOP operative, you have to buy into some pretty nonsensical stuff.

Just spitballin'..

Well, I went to Google, searched, and the first non-wingnut hit was this:

https://www.google.com/amp/www.lati...ns-20161016-snap-story,amp.html?client=safari
--------------------
Take a deep dive into the more than 10,000 Clinton campaign emails published by WikiLeaks, and here’s what you’ll learn: Hillary Clinton is a careful, methodical, tightly-controlled politician. Her jokes, her tweets and even her purported ad libs are often scripted by aides. She hates to apologize, even when she admits she’s done something wrong, like keeping emails on a home server. She’s a progressive, but not an ideologue; she yearns for “rational, moderate voices” on both sides. Above all, she’s a pragmatist who’s willing to compromise — and to have “both a public and a private position” if that’s what it takes to make a deal.

Shocking.

I watched it. Pence basically would never answer the questions. Todd had to interrupt because the guy talks like someone pulled a string in his back- spouting memorized lines and whining about Clinton unrelated to any question asked.

Do you understand the difference between current events and old news.

So the past "sex sells" incidents involving Trump are newsworthy, but the past "sex sells" incidents Hillary was involved in are not... Interesting.

Is this really the position you want to take here?

Bill Clinton has received a ****load of coverage on those things, when they where current events.
Click to expand...

This is not about Bill Clinton being a sexual predator, it's about the behavior of Hillary Clinton each time one of Bill's many incidents of inappropriate sexual behavior surfaced. It's about how a self proclaimed champion of women's rights, has not only remained married to a man with such a long and well publicized track record of sexually abusive behavior toward women, but helped to facilitate that behavior. Instead of leaving him, getting him help, calling law enforcement, or even turning a blind eye to his sexual misconduct, Hillary would do whatever was necessary to defend and protect him every time one of these incidents popped up.

Instead of championing victims, Hillary has time and time again publicly attacked and disparaged them.

* Hillary threatened Juanita Broaddrick into silence in order to cover up Bill raping her.
* In 1991, Hillary at a news conference called several of Bill's accusers/victims bimbos, and referred to them collectively as the "Bimbo Eruption"
* In 1991, Hillary said of a woman who was approached by a state trooper to have sex with Bill (it was confirmed) "We have to destroy her".
* Kathleen Willey states categorically that Hillary made several attempts to silence her through fear and intimidation.
* Hillary tried to discredit Paula Jones by saying publicly that her lawsuit was part of a larger political agenda.

Also of note:

* Hillary stated the following in court of a 12 year old rape victim “I have been informed that the complainant is emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older men and engage in fantasizing” Hillary knew he was guilty and laughed about it on tape.
* In 1992, Hillary publicly disparaged Gennifer Flowers calling her “trailer-trash” and “some failed cabaret singer who doesn’t even have much of a résumé to fall back on.” She also said if she could cross examine Gennifer Flowers “I mean, I would crucify her”
* Hillary wrote off Monica Lewinsky's claims as part of "the vast right wing conspiracy" and called Monica Lewinsky a “narcissistic loony toon” even after Bill admitted the truth.

Compare that screenshot to Hillary's actions and behavior over the years, and it SCREAMS newsworthy.

I watched it finally, and here's what I saw:

Yeah -Todd went after Pence, and I think it was warranted. Pence is a song and dance man, we saw this at the VP debate, and I liked the fact Todd would nail him to the wall when he tried to deflect. I was good with this.

OTOH though, I do agree he was soft on VP Biden. He never brought-up WikiLeaks, and was soft on everything else.

Can we say the Bombastic Trump offers a more target rich environment? Most likely. But Todd was still too easy on Biden.

So, I do think did see bias here.

Why do conservatives always whine about the "unfair" treatment of being tasked to explain their own statements ?

Because the same treatment is not given to liberals. Journalists always purport there is no bias. If there were not Biden would have been tasked just as hard over the wiki leaks items, some of which impacted policy and showed media collusion with the DNC and Hillary's campaign.

If you look at the home pages for the MSM it's all about Trump and his "scandals" or outrageous claims with virtually nothing negative about Clinton (if anything about Clinton at all is there). Fox is the only exception. You'd have to be blind to not think the MSM at large has it out to protect Hillary.

Just for ****s and giggles I watched Good Morning America this morning, which I never watch, just to see who reports on what on ABC.

The first story? The interview with Melania Trump defending her husband. The second story? The WikiLeaks emails, and the damage they have done/are doing to Hillary Clinton, and the potential "quid pro quo" just identified.

Lead story from the AP this morning? FBI records: Effort to reduce Clinton email classification .

Yet if you go to their front pages online, no wikileaks. You have to dig for those and the framing of the information is out in full force. They read like the Clinton campaign actually wrote them.

Mostly because wikileaks contains the shocking information that political campaigns do stuff that political campaigns do.
 
Wikileaks revealed commonly known information. Hillary Clinton is a fundamentally dishonest person. So is her husband. They are both dirtbags who should have been shunned by decent people a long time ago. But, they are Democrats , so no shunning. Just the opposite ,sadly.
