Pelosi: I Think The Press Helped Undermine The Election
Town Hall ^

Posted on 03/09/2017 4:22:36 PM PST by TigerClaws

Let’s go down the checklist here. Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump because of misogyny, racism, sexism, the FBI, the Russians, and now the media. Seriously, the media that was banking heavily on her to beat Trump was part of the problem, says House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Reportedly, the Clinton campaign is angrier with the Obama White House than Russia or FBI Director James Comey concerning the interference campaign that the Kremlin waged against the former first lady, which was primarily done through state-funded media apparatuses peddling propaganda and social media trolls. That is not the same thing as a hack. Moreover, Facebook said it didn’t sway the election. The Economist also wrote how fake news didn’t play a pivotal role.

Nevertheless, Pelosi thinks that the media played a role in undermining the election because they reported on Hillary Clinton’s unauthorized and unsecure email server that remained a story because every explanation turned out to be a lie, fueling speculation as to what else she was hiding, and rehashing the old 1990s criticisms of the power couple. Oh, and because the server wasn’t secure, it could have been a national security risk. She could have mishandled classified information—and the FBI launched a criminal investigation. She was a presidential candidate, Nancy. This is news (via Real Clear Politics) [emphasis mine]:

She really can’t believe the BS she says. I know people do however. We as a nation lost our minds and common sense is no longer common. It is rare and hated now

I don’t think the democrats shot themselves in the foot, I think they shot themselves in the HEAD. All that’s left functioning is the brain stem.

Methinks she is getting to the point where she needs to be screened for Alzheimer’s.

The “Wiretapped Data” has been changed by the NYT.

They’ve revised it to “intercepts.”

Arrogance breeds stupidity, and the arrogance was astounding, especially in the more recent years.

No one in the Democrat party, from Zer0 to Hillary to the rank and file will acknowledge that they have been thoroughly rejected. Rejection is difficult, but this has passed the point of of becomming a mental issue. All one has to do is shown liberals they are wrong, then there’s hell to pay.

Too bad for them they don’t control a universal memory hole to shove all printed copies down.

I agree with her. Trump’s win would have been even BIGGER if the media had been fair and balanced.
