Hillary Clinton’s Worst Week—Yet, According to the MSM, Her Best Week
Breitbart ^ | August 21,2016 | by JAMES P. PINKERTON

Posted on 08/21/2016 6:41:03 PM PDT by Hojczyk

If the 2016 presidential race is tightening, how come the Main Stream Media is acting as though it’s widening? Indeed, why is the MSM indicating to us that Hillary Clinton is going to defeat Donald Trump in a landslide? Why are Republicans being told that they should abandon all hope of winning the White House?

To answer those questions, we can cite the MSM Rule of Inverse Electoral Correlation: The closer the presidential race gets, the louder the MSM declares that it’s over. And all this comes even as Clinton has had a terrible week—arguably her worst week ever, as the billowing smoke of financial scandal clouds herself and her family.

Yet of course, the MSM has plenty ammo still to fire. Having been instructed by The New York Times to abandon even the pretense of impartiality by taking an “oppositional” stance toward Trump, Big Journalism is now doubling down on behalf of the Democrats; hence this August 19 headline bannered atop Politico: “GOP insiders: Trump’s overhaul won’t succeed/ Roughly a third of Republican respondents say the addition of [Stephen K.] Bannon and promotion of [Kellyanne] Conway will make things worse.” (We might note that this bit of MSM-masticated “news” led immigration-focused pundit Mickey Kaus to react with a snarkily ironic tweet: “AUSPICIOUS SIGN FOR TRUMP.”)

And yet the very next day, Politico dutifully followed up with another Trump-is-doomed piece, headlined: “Republicans prep ‘break glass’ emergency plan as Trump tumbles/ Losing hope for the White House, the GOP is exploring a plan to cast congressional candidates as a check on President Hillary Clinton.” The MSM’s intentions are obvious: Journos are seeking to stampede Republicans into panicky defeatism.

Although he sounds smart I think its very safe now to say Michael Medved is a dumb ass - a genuine stupid person, someone who lacks intelligence. I feel stupid for going and seeing him a couple of times.

He is almost always - always wrong ... this is because of the stupidity again.

Going catatonic mid sentence, falling off her perch, needing to be dragged up stairs, man with a hypodermic medication following her closely coming to her aid within seconds, and then no scheduled campaign rallies?

Wow, one more week like this and Trump won't have a chance.  Bwa ha ha ha ha...

Hillary will have no bad weeks according to the MSM right up to the day she is defeated, and then they will be shocked!

One should also not that the Hildebeast tried to keep her health care tribunal cabal secret and under no sunshine. She was sued for this IIRC.

“I miss Sam. He was a comedic (genious), and we are all much poorer because of his death.”

You’re joking. Right?

I did exactly as you suggested and got identical results from Google as you did. So for the heck of it I did an identical search on Yahoo and got articles relating to her poor health.

Google is doing some tweaking here.

In the search suggestions you get the following:

I got the same results...Google loves to employ their little "helper" algorithm, and it usually works very well. Except when it doesn't.

Agree. I doubt he could be successful with his same brand of comedy today however--he was far too politically incorrect. The only way you could use his politically incorrect-styled comedy today would be if you were considered in a favored minority status; e.g., gay, female, black, Muslim, etc.

I would suggest that if Kinison had lived and continued on in comedy, that he’d have so ridiculed PC that we wouldn’t be as badly off (in that regard) as we are right now.

Ditto for George Carlin - he didn’t take too well to lies, no matter where they originated. He ridiculed the [insert those 7 words] out of them.
