Washington Post changes concerns about Hillary Clinton’s health from “junk science” to “a real issue”

On August 8, 2016, the Washington Post published this article, which is called “Armed with junk science and old photos, critics question #HillarysHealth.”

On September 11, 2016, the same newspaper published this other article, which is called “Hillary Clinton’s health just became a real issue in the presidential campaign.”

Both titles are wrong.

The first title is wrong, because the claims about Hillary Clinton being sick were not based on “junk science.” Instead, they were based on photographs and videos.

The second title is wrong, because Clinton’s health did not “just” become an issue. Instead, it has been an issue for quite some time. Instead, the only thing that is “just” happening is that the Washington Post is finally admitting something that it should have admitted a long time ago.

Large numbers of regular people on the internet – bloggers, YouTubers, and people posting at the comment sections in news articles – people with no “credentials” and no formal training or degree in journalism – have proven themselves to be better reporters than the “reporters” at the Washington Post.

Obama will run for her saying he is a woman and therefore eligible.

Even the lying-Left MSM cannot hide it anymore. What little credibility they have remaining (with the Dims only) is apparently important to them...maybe. The WP remains a piece of trash far removed from what used to be journalism.

The dinosaur Democrat media thinks it still controls the news in the U.S. That is laughably wrong. Millions of people with smartphones and the internet control the news now. We can see Hillary seize at various appearances, while the media ignores the obvious. That destroys the credibility of both.

We also see Trump in top form, outworking and outthinking the Left at every turn. And the final victory will come when the effort of the Democrats to again cheat themselves into power will be reveled to the entire nation.This should destroy the Democrat Progressives for at least a generation.

Junk science is not when one falters, stumbles and falls because of some internet diagnoses. Whether the specific prognoses being offered up based on MULTIPLE incidents hits the mark or not is completely f@cking irrelevant.

The FACT is your candidate can’t walk two blocks, cannot climb stairs unassisted, cannot get into a van without a step stool, and every time you get her away from a penguin freezer she looks like death warmed over with a parched white blood supply needing a whole body transfusion..

Don’t get pissed because your bleats and excuses don’t work and and why “this was the last time this will happen.” We all know better out here in drive by land. You guys need to have a come to Jesus moment with the way things is.

They need to start doing stories about what a President Kaine administration would be like.

BINGO! We have to be careful - the rat scribes might come after us since we dared to challenge the official lies...

Oh, and I'm guessing the next lie will be that it's a reaction to some common type of 'cold medicine' or something like that ... and all the press boys will jump on board and believe the new lies...

One of the big things that’s happened this election cycle is that the MSM has revealed their total lack of independence to an unprecedented degree.

Chris Cillizza, WaPol Wunderkind ... how do YOU feel right now? Egg on your face, much?

Btw for you FReepers with the stomach to check leftist websites:
Did any of them stick their necks out and call Rick Leventhal a liar when he broke the story this morning?
How did Media Matters handle this? Or DU?

(It was a couple of hours after Leventhal's initial report before the video got unleashed on the internet.)

I am sure much hand wringing is going trying to decide what to do

Support Hillary or call for a replacement

Or delay to just before the election if Trump is way ahead call for the election to be postponed

Do not pay attention to the man behind the curtain. Everything us alright. Please go back to your homes or whatever else you were doing. The Great Media has spoken!

The DNC is scrambling.

Who’s their best hope? IMO, Obama regardless of the Constitution which they ignore anyway. Looks like a log shot, but Obama has gotten away with a lot of unforeseen violations of the Constitution these last seven years and he and the Left are used to passivity of the Right.

It would be a long shot, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Trump vs. Obama. I’d love to see that and see someone (Trump) finally take that arrogant, criminal dictator down.

Then they’d best be heading for Jamaica where she can catch some of the voodoo juju beat and animate more convincingly.

Stephanpolous reports: "Secy Clinton,
overcome with grief, listening to the
roster of the victims at today's 9/11 memorial,
had to leave the ceremony early."
(credit COBOL2JAVA)

Matt Lauer reports: "Even in the blistering city heat,
our next president, Hillary Clinton, attended the
annual 9/11 memorial. She then visited her
grandchildren at Chelsea's place for playtime."

Andrea Mitchell reports:"The basket of Trump
intolerables didn't even have the decency to
attend the 9/11 memorial as Hillary Clinton did.
She is going to make a great president."

As much as the media has been hiding it, if Hillary doesn’t make a public appearance soon and not some short, scripted talk to a small crowd, the undecided public is going to see her as having health issues.
