No Consequences from Media Peers for Reporters Caught Colluding with Hillary
The Observer ^ | 10/24/16 | Evan Gahr

Posted on 10/24/2016 7:07:40 AM PDT by detective

Decades before social media and email a remarkable but unsung Bronx housewife named Ruth Goldstock told her grandson, “Never put anything in writing that you wouldn’t want on the front page of the New York Times.”

These days, that wise advice applies to private communications by everybody in the entire country except elite journalists and news executives.

Elsewhere in America, when emails that the author assumed would never see the light of day became public he suffers some form of consequences—you know, stuff like plummeting poll numbers, possible jail time or forced resignation. This goes for everybody from Hillary Clinton and the former head of Sony Pictures on down.

"if you’re a Politico or New York Times scribe or CNBC anchor John Harwood and hacked emails emerge that reveal you outright colluding with Hillary Clinton campaign—by giving advice or providing the communications director “veto” power over what to include from your interview with the candidate or allowing campaign chair John Podesta veto power over your stories—that is another matter."

They forgot the dinner that NBC’s Mark Murray attended at John Podesta’s home and the dinner that Chuck Todd hosted, where Jennifer Palmieri attended.

This is really the most revealing aspect of it all.

When caught, even Clinton’s dirty tricks squad got fired/resigned.

But the media? When they get caught, they just pretend it never happened.

You could say the same thing about drug peddlers and whores who by and large are better people than news reporters.

I just did a search for a picture I saw recently about the intertwining of the media and democrats as it was interesting to see. I would click on some of the images and I would see it, look at another one, see it, go back to the first image and it would flash, then nothing. I did this with about a dozen images and could not return to them.

It appears that Google is blocking such searches.

Thrush is totally unapologetic, social justice soldiering on with excuses, attacks and denigration.

That's the part that drives me crazy. It's just childish mendancity "I didn't eat the chocolate" -- said by a child whose mouth is smeared with chocolate.

And, so far, the media gets way with it. "We are unbiased."

No one buys the lie anymore.

If Clinton wins, the real losers will be our children and grandchildren and the media.

It’s okay because they are members of the ‘Democratic’ party.

> That’s the part that drives me crazy.

And it should, because it’s the part that distinguishes enemies from mere idiots.
