The New York Times provided questions to former President Bill Clinton before an interview with Nicholas Kristoff, the Wikileaks release of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta emails has revealed.
In an email sent to Podesta and several others, the Clinton Foundation’s Director of Foreign Policy Ami Desai requests feedback on answers to “questions they sent that are related to international issues”

The country would be far better off with no press than the Democrat press we have now.
I would be a lot happier of just ONCE news like this came from cnn or abc or cBS or nbc etc.
google news has top 10 wikileaks stories either defending clinton or being incredibly vague
we are not a free republic anymore. In a free republic the media doesn’t work with a political party hand in hand.
I dont know what we are right now, but we ain’t that.
There was another Podesta e-mail where two NYT reporters were coordinating with Clinton’s minions as to how to respond to the book “Clinton Cash” with a `news article’ in the Slimes discrediting the book.
They do this every day. We’ve always know this here on FR.
Well, here it is: evidence. Tell anyone who will listen.

Yup. Not so many decades back, we had a press that was on the outside. It asked hard questions. Then somewhere along the way it evolved into being part of the elites. Now you have a government, industrial, media complex that is self-serving and accountable to no one, and certainly not the American people.
When was this interview? I see no dates provided, or I missed them.
Kind of like rollerball. good movie. And quite prophetic.
Crush the individual sense of achievement.
Has anyone seen the Fronline piece on Trump vs Clinton. Less bias and interesting.
Much more new stuff too...

I wish someone would start a twitter hashtag about boycotting MSM like they have done with the NFL..
Further proof the MSM and the Democrat Party are just one big political machine.
As a former newspaper reporter — forced out of the biz after 25 years for being conservative, Catholic, and disrespectful of my left-wing betters — I’m trying to think of one instance where I submitted interview questions in advance.
But honestly, I can’t think of any, although 25 years and maybe 5,000 bylined stories is a lot to remember.
Mind you, if the New York Times represents “The Show,” my career topped out at AA ball.
And you know what? Professional standards at the A and AA teams I wrote for were higher than in the Major League.
For example, no managing editor I ever worked for — even the biggest libs — would allow unnamed sources except under the rarest circumstances.
One case that comes to mind was around 1998 when we learned that one of our town’s major industries was planning a huge expansion. But the local politicos and economic developers scheduled their announcement at the worst possible time for our press run, and the best possible time for local television.
My M.E., one very tough lady, said “we’re going to wind up looking like idiots if we miss this story.” She had me make a whole slew of calls to people in the know, and while nobody would talk for attribution, we got enough confirmations off the record that we were able to hit the streets with the story about six hours before the official announcement. We preserved our reputation for timely local news, and nobody was even sore at us.
Pardon these reminiscences from an old reporter whose heart breaks over what has become of his profession.
What a blessing an honest media would be for this nation.
They've crossed the line.
Thanks for relating your experiences. Yes, journalism has fallen to a sorry state, especially in the “Big Leagues”....
