What we've learned from WikiLeaks: Team Clinton treats reporters like butlers and maids

After binging for hundreds of minutes on the Donald Trump sex-talk tape, the liberal networks are now tiptoeing around the Wikileaks revelations, but spinning it as some kind of Russian conspiracy. ..

Maggie Haberman of the New York Times was singled out as a pliant recycler of their narratives: “We have has [sic] a very good relationship with Maggie Haberman of Politico over the last year. We have had her tee up stories for us before and have never been disappointed...

CNBC’s Becky Quick – who also moderated the CNBC GOP debate – promised John Podesta after Sylvia Mathews Burwell as nominated as HHS secretary: “I will make sure to defend her when things get further along in the nomination process.”

Ken Vogel at Politico sent a story on Clinton fundraising to DNC national press secretary Mark Paustenbach for a pre-publication review. Now, checking for confirmation of some numbers or confirming a quote — that's OK. But the entire story? That is journalistic malpractice. The Democrats have Politico on a leash...

Mark Ambinder at The Atlantic, a former political reporter/consultant for ABC and CBS, may been the most obedient to Reines. In July 2009, Hillary was delivering a speech at the Council on Foreign Relations. Ambinder wanted an advance copy of the speech. Reines insisted on conditions. "You must describe her tone as 'muscular,' and you must note that her most prominent underlings at the State Department (George Mitchell, Richard Holbrooke) would be seated in front of her to convey her command of the staff."

“Got it,” Ambinder shot back. Later that day, he published a story doing Hillary’s bidding right at the top, touting a “muscular speech” Hillary would deliver that day in front of her rival “power centers” in the State Department.

That is a very good description of these people. They think they are co-partners with the left. They are not. They are butlers, maids, and general all around servants. And they are interchangeable and disposable.

"...they are interchangeable and disposable," and they were once referred to as "Useful Idiots."

You insult butlers and maids. Butlers and maids have the sense to leave an abusive employer from time to time. The MSM does not.

Act like butlers, maids, toadies and whores and you’re going to be treated as such. Too bad the media has no self-respect when it comes to servicing the left.

Its Upstairs, Downstairs, only the paid Clinton staff of low-rent whores known as the ‘media” doesn’t live and work out of the basement; they live and work in the sewers that run under the house and don’t realize the smell they give off.

It says:
Some pages on this website send visitors to the following dangerous websites: europrinty.net, ykapu.xyz, and ehegady.xyz.
What happens is, if any freeper posts a link to a place which is identified as a source for malware, then FR gets tagged as well.

I don't see a fix that doesn't involve JohnRob adding code to download the list of malware sites, then scanning every embedded URL in every post, and rejecting posts containing a malware URL.

Since almost all seem to be minions of the Clintons and not real reporters - acting as butlers and maids for them is as good as any job

There is no news in Pravda, and no truth in Izvestia. And the Krokodil is always laughing.
