Media Myopia: Huma involvement with Islamist mag for a decade no biggie
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

The MSM can’t stop talking about Donald Trump having brought onto his campaign the Chairman of Breitbart News.

But Hillary’s closest aide being for 12 years an editor of an Islamist magazine that among other things blamed the US for 9/11? Meh!

On today’s With All Due Respect, guest co-host Alex Wagner seconded the excuse that the Clinton campaign is shopping. Said Wagner: “as you and I have both worked on magazines, we know that there are a lot of editors who do absolutely nothing but are listed on mastheads anyway.”

John Heilemann similarly argued that while his title at Bloomberg Politics is Managing Editor, he doesn’t do any managing or editing. He went on to assert that not many voters care about Huma Abedin “one way or the other.” Added Heilemann: “I know people on the right will hate me for saying that.”

MSM: no biggie if for 12 years Huma was an editor of a radical Islamic mag.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

It’s not myopia, it’s intentional disinformation.
There are stories that the Minisrty of Propaganda simply will not report if they can’t spin them to some advantage.

“It’s not myopia, it’s intentional disinformation.”

Good point.

Yeah, but ...

Donald Trump used sarcasm in a speech a couple of week ago. It was pretty scandalous and we should probably still be talking about that.

She’s an America hater just like her boss. Jarrett and now HumaWeiner. The Muzzies are on a roll. I don’t understand how they got so “wildly popular” with Americans. Maybe it was 09-11-2001.

She’s a traitor. This moozlum plant deserves swift and righteous justice.
