STUDY: Big Three Networks Attack Comey Over Clinton by 3 to 1
NewsBusters ^ | 10/31/2016 | Geoffrey Dickens

Posted on 10/31/2016 6:42:48 PM PDT by Trump20162020

Ever since it was announced, on Friday, that the FBI was pursuing new leads into the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s e-mail server scandal, the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks have gone into attack mode against James Comey, turning what should be a scandal about Clinton into a smear against the FBI director.

Beginning with the evening (October 28) of the announcement through Monday morning (October 31) MRC analysts reviewed all statements (by reporters, analysts, and partisans) that took a position on Comey and Clinton and found arguments against Comey (88) swamped those against Clinton (31) by a ratio of almost 3 to 1. There were a handful of statements that praised either Comey (10) or Clinton (4).

The Gunga Din networks still carrying water for those criminal Clintons. That is truly bizarre.

They all praised him when he let her off the hook the last time.

“STUDY: Big Three Networks Attack Comey Over Clinton by 3 to 1”

OK, based just solely on the headline if the Big Three attack Comey and there are only three...who is the one? Didn’t read the article because of the headline...just sayin’. Wouldn’t that make four?

I never listen to NPR because of the bias. Tonight I did.

Non stop damage control; a never Trump “Republican” speaking about how Comey may have violated the Hatch act. I did not hear anything about how stupid and careless this whole thing is and that Hillary Clinton’s greed is the cause.

The bigger problem Clinton has is simply that this story is drowning out the airwaves - regardless of whether they’re in hit-piece mode or not.

Imagine a media not owned by globalists, one world bastards. They are so scared Trump will upset their evil doing they are pulling out all the stops. Screw them. May their arrogance and hatred of God bring an everlasting judgement they will never recover from.

Go Trump

Americans have short memories but they remember Comey said he would not prosecute Clinton. They also have the visceral memory that the media praised him for it.The media’s credibility is shot.

NYT's lackey, Frank Bruni on MSNBC affirming that the Clintons planted this media meme

BRUNI: This is the same terrain we have been on for weeks and months and really a year now: the emails. It don’t think it’s going to move people away from her.

I think also I have seldom seen a campaign do as quick and concerted a job of changing the focus as the Clinton campaign has done. If you look at the headlines over the last 48 hours, as many of those headlines have name Comey in them as have the name Clinton. When we’re writing the history of this election and how the last two weeks played out, we’ll be talking about the incredibly rapid and thorough mobilization of the Clinton campaign and their allies in terms of turning the focus of the story into whether James Comey did the right thing.

Not if Clinton loses, we won't.

More MSNBC spin.

I have been surprised to read all the comments on YouTube during various videos.

The people posting there are really tuned in. They get the main issues and many of the nuances.

So the main stream media may think it’s scoring points, and in a way it is. The general public is on to them, and this is going to turn very ugly in the near future.

The American Public has had it up to here with the media. The day of it playing a major role in American politics is over.

Most every just looks and laughs for tosses something at the screen.

I can actually remember a time that was true in the USA...

No personal opinions in reporting. No editorializing. No personal opinions on news stories and events.
No reporting earthshaking stories without verification by independent sources.
No acceptance of perks from those who are the objects of news stories. You would be fired if you did.
No voicing your own political opinion.
No succumbing to outside influences or outside pressure.
Actual fair and balanced reporting that wasn’t just a meaningless slogan.

Yes, this actually once was the norm in the USA

The people who listen to NPR constantly see it through a special lens:

Donald Trump is a racist misogynist, and NPR explains to people very clearly exactly why he is a bad man. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, is one of the greatest and bravest politicians this country has ever produced, and NPR is happy to showcase just how awesome she is.

People who rarely listen to NPR, of course, are shocked at the stupidity of the people who work for NPR.

comby is a 100% clintoon waterboy. He may feel it somewhat beneath his rich, elite standing to suffer through this trial, but he will. You may check in to Hotel Clintoon, but you may never leave.
