A Clinton Story Fraught With Inaccuracies: How It Happened and What Next?

New York Times ^ | July 27, 2015 | By Margaret Sullivan

[Brad from Tennessee]

The story certainly seemed like a blockbuster: A criminal investigation of Hillary Rodham Clinton by the Justice Department was being sought by two federal inspectors general over her email practices while secretary of state.

It’s hard to imagine a much more significant political story at this moment, given that she is the leading candidate for the Democratic nomination for president.

The story – a Times exclusive — appeared high on the home page and the mobile app late Thursday and on Friday and then was displayed with a three-column headline on the front page in Friday’s paper. The online headline read “Criminal Inquiry Sought in Hillary Clinton’s Use of Email,” very similar to the one in print.

But aspects of it began to unravel soon after it first went online. The first major change was this: It wasn’t really Mrs. Clinton directly who was the focus of the request for an investigation. It was more general: whether government information was handled improperly in connection with her use of a personal email account.

Much later, The Times backed off the startling characterization of a “criminal inquiry,” instead calling it something far tamer sounding: it was a “security” referral.

From Thursday night to Sunday morning – when a final correction appeared in print – the inaccuracies and changes in the story were handled as they came along, with little explanation to readers, other than routine corrections. The first change I mentioned above was written into the story for hours without a correction or any notice of the change, which was substantive. . .

Theater of the Absurd.

[Kartographer]

Hillary does know that ‘Orange’ is the new ‘Black’ maybe she can make that work for her?

[EagleUSA]

The NYT — arch stooge of the radical, criminal Left.

Just slinging white wash as fast as they can. And this Pulitzer winning masterpiece...setting up Hitlery as if she is new to crime, fraud and lies. A total farce.

[Parley Baer]

The NYT, circling the wagons.

[BenLurkin]

What Next?

The Pinkos in the so-called “news” media will give her cover by vouching for her lies.

The perverts who run the so-called “entertainment” industry will mock anyone who dares tell the truth about her.

By November 2016 — it will all be “old news”

[fhayek]

Usual Clinton conundrum. Corrupt as all Hell, or dumber than a box a rocks. It’s amazing how often they have to go to the ‘dumber than a box of rocks’ card.

[rbg81]

In the end, they will crucify some State Dept nobody for ALLOWING Hillary to operate her own server. In short, the story will be that no one TOLD HER that what she was doing was wrong.

I’ve seen the media commit this level of hari kari when it comes to the GOP. Even with bald-face lies, they’re more like “meh”, go look at our two-line correction on page A56.

The Hillary Clinton Lies List

[Prolixus]

Funny, the NYT didn’t seem to have a problem that an Egyptian Christian was blamed for the Benghazi attack by Hillary, due to his video, and then arrested an held in jail for an extended time. Apparently the NYT is not concerned with 1st Amendment rights.

[Timber Rattler]

Spin, spin, spin...the editors must have got some really nasty calls from Clintonland this weekend.

Hillary Clinton Operatives Bracing For “Clinton Collapse”

“Get Amy! Somebody get Amy on this!”

Amy being a likely reference to New York Times reporter, Amy Chozick, a particularly Clinton-friendly advocate at that influential publication.

A D.C. Whispers source had this to say regarding Mrs. Clinton’s view of the modern media:

“She doesn’t understand how it works. She still thinks the New York Times is the end-all, be-all regarding media coverage and because they (the Clinton Machine) pretty much control how the Times covers them, she feels she controls her own media destiny and when that doesn’t happen, it infuriates her. She gets very angry very quickly and it’s a particularly aggressive kind of nasty on her part.”

Looks like somebody got Margaret Sullivan on it instead of Amy.

Was what she did right or not?  Was it a violation of government policy?  Are there penalities for what she did?  Would another person be prosecuted, or simply fired?

This is being played off as something of no consequence.  I don't believe that is true.

Once again, a Clinton is deemed to be above the laws the rest of us would be in trouble for breaking.

>> It wasn’t really Mrs. Clinton directly who was the focus of the request for an investigation <<

Aha! So it was all the fault of that nasty server. Hilary was in no way involved.

The last ‘public editor’ worth anything was Oakrent...after him it’s been one suck-up after another...

[Cyclone59]

nice list. Don’t forget that she had that “accident” that made it impossible for her to answer questions about Benghazi

How It Happened and What Next?

It happened because the Clintonistas are money grubbing liars that believe they can do whatever they want with no consequences.

What will most likely come next is Congress screaming and yelling about it but nothing being done. Then Barry’s media will direct our attention to a story they want everyone to follow.
