Hillary’s media is torching its standards to cover the election

There is nothing more to learn about Hillary Clinton’s home-brew server, deleted e-mails, chronic cough or anything else that makes her look bad, according to The Washington Post. And The New York Times, stung by Clinton’s woeful performance at last week’s presidential forum, believes the debates are going to be a total disaster unless moderators get much, much tougher with Donald Trump.

To judge from her tone, the Gray Lady finally has found somebody she wants to waterboard. Naturally, it’s a Republican, not a terrorist.

America’s two most prominent newspapers used to compete for Pulitzer Prizes and readers, but now they’re competing to see which can suck up more to Clinton. On Friday, both papers’ editorial pages turned on fellow liberal card-carrier Matt Lauer for his performance as the moderator of the commander-in-chief forum, with The Washington Post blasting him for being too tough on Clinton and the Times accusing Lauer of letting Trump ramble, boast and lie.

The unsubtle point was clear: journalists must focus all their firepower on Trump, or they will get a beatdown from the Clinton Praetorian Guard. She must be protected, even if that means taking the “new” out of “news.” How odd for businesses protected by the First Amendment to demand that others shut up.

Then again, the stakes are high. The best lap dog can expect better access and more leaks from a Clinton White House. Whoppee.

In any other era, there would be staff revolts as both papers trash their standards and torch their credibility in their partisan quest. But Trump Derangement Syndrome is creating an unprecedented spectacle as elite news organizations reveal contempt for their own traditions and the millions upon millions of Americans who don’t agree with them....

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."

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."

The media has “standards”? Who knew?

[fhayek]

Andrea Mitchell really said that? That was her take? You are pulling my leg.

[luvbach1]

In actuality, the beest had to attend to match Trump, but wilted and had to retreat.

Hillary’s media is torching its standards to cover the election

What STARDARDS would that be? The media is dead and has been for at least 2 decades. One they lost their monopoly to the internet and alternate broadcast outlets they went into the tank full time for the DNC and dumped whatever standards you think they use dot practice JOURNALISM by. Gone, zip, nada, zilch. I turned by news off on TV when the GWB bashing commenced and have never gone back, but I hear what they are about these days as I walk through the room where my wife is watching all gaga.

MSM going down on Illary!

[BenLurkin]

What “standards”?

[stocksthatgoup]

I disagree, there is a lot more to learn from these and other sources

[pabianice]

Her Goa’uld symbiote is rejecting her.

[mastertex]

SORRY SOB’S everyone of them......lie, cheat steal what ever it take....they are SCUM......

[Lazamataz]

The only thing to learn from these sources is that America can become as propaganda-ridden as the former Soviet Union.

[eyeamok]

This is Real Right??

“Secy Clinton,
overcome with JOY, listening to the
roster of the victims at today’s 9/11 memorial, COMMITTED BY HER FRIENDS, The Saudi’s
had to leave the ceremony early to CELEBRATE.”

There Fixed it

After a few minutes …

Gotta add that to the “reports.”

[T-Bird45]

Saw that on another thread - Love it!! The Onion-level of satire, IMO. Definitely shows that the best humor always has truth as a large element.
