Compared to the American LSM, Goebbels’ Information Ministry and Pravda were models of intellectual honesty even handedness.

I think this is actually true. Goebbels and Pravda at least engaged their opponents arguments, the LSM simply dismisses them out of hand.

If the parties involved have the same interest (PIAPS), and follow the creed, “the ends justify the means,” then laws don’t matter.

That’s why the Founding fathers gave us the Second amendment.

I presume the illegality would be that a fundraiser hosted by the Washington Post would be a direct corporate contribution to Clinton campaign.

Here’s a partial list of those who called Trump’s great speech “Dark”.

So we now know what the keyword was for that week's talking points, don't we?

Our local Gannett newsrag did the same, but didn't make the list.

I would think that supporters of Hillary could be considered for Aiding and Abetting.

For Democrats there is no rule of law, or accountability. As in communism, everything is for the Party. The party leaders make all the decisions. Communist media is not a free press. There is no truth or facts told in the story, the Party uses media to tell people what their opinion on the event should be or covers up the facts of an event to whitewash the impact on the people.

There is no free press in the United States.

Excellent list.

Those media outlets, at a minimum, received Hillary talking points and decided to repeat them.

The interesting question is why.

(1)Some may have chosen to do so because they support her on policy grounds.

(2) Some—because their publisher/editor is subject to blackmail or other control.

(3) Some because they are stupid as rocks and will print anyone’s press release to fill space.

(4) Some are owned/published by rich folks who have “cut a deal” with Hillary in exchange with favors like ambassadorships, other cushy federal jobs for relatives or mistresses, or outright theft from the federal treasury to be deposited in their offshore account.

So, match all the correct numbers to the correct media outlet and you get a special reward:

You will be hunted down by a squad of Hillary’s black ops teams who will kill you dog or cat as a warning to mind your own business. :-(

You know when financial journalists report on a given corporation they own, they say ‘full disclosure, I own stock in this company.” From now on, The Washington Post, whenever reporting on the presidential election should be required to print “Full disclosure: The Washington Post is both a political and financial supporter of Hillary Clinton” just under the headline.

I know. I’m just hoping that people will stop paying money to read their propaganda, thereby lessening their influence.

Trump can now say that he was right to kick the Washington Post out of his events. They proved him correct.

Illegal for a republican as we are dirty. But perfectly legal for a Rat and the rat party.

Illegal?

How so?

Likely, many at WaPo are already receiving supplemental income from the Clintons and have been for decades.

They could just call it a summer barbaque for employees and agents.

No intent to break the law so no charges. It’s good to be King/Queen.

“Written laws are like spiders’ webs; they will catch, it is true, the weak and poor, but would be torn in pieces by the rich and powerful.” Anacharsis 6 centuries before Christ.

The progressives have read this much ancient history.

It appears to me from the email exchange that the Washington Post would not allow the DNC to include its party in a package for which donors would pay, although someone had clearly proposed that. However, the Post was willing to allow the DNC to add people who would be in town for the debate to the list of admittees to the party. Clearly, the DNC and the Post are acting together to benefit Democrats. They will go up to the limit allowed by their lawyers.

It must also be remember that it is the WaPo who has assigned 24 “reporters” to dig up dirt on Trump, and will be releasing a book about him in September.
