Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC and the rest of the "liberal media" told us that Hillary Clinton's emails was the worst thing a public official had ever done in history.

WaPo and NYT are bothsidesist (NYT worse) but they are not profit-first machines willing to air any controversy that gets ratings. The NYT has its failings but CNN bears more blame about Hillary.

(6,143 posts)They were doing the conning. Thats why they ran more stories on Clintons emails than all other issues combined during the 16 election cycle.

(4,446 posts)To try to discredit the media? Yeah, Wed Jun 20, 2018, 03:46 PM. You and Sarah Huckabee Sanders could have a long, cordial lunch and have so much fun trading lies about the media.
You've already been challenged to provide a media clip or article to back up your bullshit assertion, and I see you've failed.
Trumpocalypse
(6,143 posts)Go back and compare Matt Lauers intewiews of Clinton and Trump on the Intrepid or all The NY Times corrections of Clinton email articles. Or even the simple fact that there were more articles than any other issue
GaYellowDawg
(4,446 posts)You still have yet to produce a media clip or an article stating that Hillary Clinton's emails were the worst thing ever done by a public official in history.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You have provided no evidence at all. So your claim is bullshit. It will remain bullshit until you can back it up with something specific. And we both know that's not happening, don't we? Yes, we do.
Lies and hyperbole are Republican, not Democratic, tools. Quit trying to use and defend them!

(6,916 posts)F*** News is a direct translation of the Goebbels Lugenpresse.
Also it is a right wing smear of our truth-seeking journalists.
F*** News helps us move towards autocracy.
No progressive should use it. Ever.

Of course the media was derelict in the Hillary email Benghazi Whitewater bull crap fake scandal disaster.

(14,164 posts)on Hillary and on Trump?
My gawd, almost every person on DU was yelling into their TVs every night a year and a half ago, watching wall to wall "And now more on the Clinton Email Scandal!" Debating how it would affect her votes. Having on Trumpsters to spew wild-eyed charges of breaching national security. No interviews with Clinton spokespersons on what her platform was, how it would help Americans. No it was constant badgering from the time they started until they left about how Hillary's email scandal would harm her in the polls.
And Trump's coverage consisted of showing over and over his most viral insults of the day, or his latest lie of the day, and discussing how his supporters still support him.
It was a blatant attempt to even out the horse race. Obviously they, like 99% of everyone else, assumed that Hillary would win. All the polls indicated that. So the MSM went on a righteous tear to soften Trump and 'bitchify' Hillary. Criminalize her. Or at the very least sow doubts. Anything they could do to even up the horse race so they would have a STORY. "Its neck and neck coming around the last turn...."
If you don't have a problem with that then I don't understand you.
The MSM, like some of the Republicans speaking out now, are not our BFF friends. They are convenient allies at this time. I'd bet you anything that IF all goes well and Democrats take over the House in November, and further, Mueller comes down hard and Trump is chased out, and Democrats also win in 2020, the MSM news networks will once again be courting every Republican and former Trump supporter as well, to lay into the Dems as they will. And stoke rumours and fake conspiracies to even things up once again.

(15,373 posts)Those were two kids found crossing the border without their parents. The holding area at the initial facility they were brought to were not the best, but the policy of the Obama admin was to reunite these children with their families.
You need to be careful about throwing around pictures and make sure they are what you want them to be.
