Nets Censor Bombshell That Comey Didn’t Wait for Facts to Rescue Hillary

Conclusion first, facts second. That, allegedly, was the mentality of ex-FBI Director James Comey in dealing with Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal. Yet this revelation was ignored by ABC, CBS and NBC on Thursday and Friday. Comey, who was fired by Donald Trump in May, decided against criminal charges of Hillary Clinton before 17 interviews of witnesses were even complete. Fox News, MSNBC and CNN all highlighted the story.

But NBC’s Today, a four hour program, on Friday devoted four minutes and two seconds to finding the best new coffee maker. CBS This Morning looked at the future of Uber for three minutes and 53 seconds. (CBS News covered the story, but online.)

ABC’s Good Morning America promoted “Force Friday” for two minutes and 17 seconds. Force Friday celebrates the release of new Star Wars toys. ABC is owned by Disney, the company that owns the sci-fi franchise. GMA made sure to tell viewers they could purchase toys on Walmart.com, a sponsor of the show. What was that journalists were saying about collusion and shady connections between powerful forces?

Clearly, there was time for Comey on the networks.

Yet, despite a combined nine and a half hours of air time on Thursday night and Friday morning, the networks couldn’t be bothered. To be clear, the reason for ignoring this damning development WASN’T Hurricane Harvey. That natural disaster (deservedly so) garnered a lot of coverage.

If you don’t see it in the msm....

The standard by which the FBI determines how to proceed on cases.

"FBI says lack of public interest.. justifies withholding documents"

"http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/aug/29/fbi-lack-public-interest-emails-justifies-withhold/

" ..isn’t interesting enough to the public to justify releasing the FBI’s files.. the bureau said this week"

They will work as hard to protect queen Hillary as they have to sink Trump.

Not surprising. That is why the corrupt Media Party is believed by less and less nowadays.

[Seaplaner]

The Ministry of Propaganda always serves the left.

Oddly, they seem so enthusiastically lockstepped to the subversive message; yet it is the (alleged) news and entertainment media who have arguably the most to lose as the First Amendment is, um, redefined.

must be a holiday weekend, or something...

[CreviceTool]

Give the fake news media a pass - they are busy bustin’ their humps on news gathering.

Breaking News: EXTRA - EXTRA - Melania Trump in 5-inch Stilettos Boarding Marine One Bound for Texas!!!

President Donald Trump declared Sunday a national day of prayer for Hurricane Harvey victims.

Thanx for the heads up on Fibbers posting huma’s email.

Should be juicy

[hillarys cankles]

We can’t expect to win over the hearts and minds of anyone if there is a news blackout if bad democratic news.
If it’s bad news for trump it’s blasted across the country over and over again. Bad news for the left? NOT A DAMN THING.

[Logical me]

And should he be indited? Ask President Trump. He has that useless club they call the do nothing DOJ. America is a cesspool of wotthless crap we call Trump Administration and Congress. We are headed for a civil war with patriots voters on one side the entire Washington DC on the other.

Not too many months ago, there was a whole crew here suggesting Comey was the most honest person in D.C.

Where are those people at now? It's like they scattered for the tall grass, never to be seen again.☺

[Dilbert San Diego]

Dam sam. I missed the segment on finding the best coffee maker. That’s some serious consumer news there. I’m afraid I’ll grab the wrong one off the shelf at Wal Mart.....

[Jonny7797]

I think this story is a lot of spin/fake news whatever...read meat for the right.

I’m not defending Comey - he’s a snake and scumbag and there was enough evidence there to recommend indictment of Clinton BUT I think it’s possible Comey wrote his final report assuming that nothing else that was going to take place would change his initial conclusion he made in looking at the available evidence (which we all know is wrong regardless). Honestly, even I would have bet that nothing would come of the interviews of Hillary’s clan before they were competed.

Regardless I dont think anything comes of this.

There is an unspoken rule among the ruling class and their lackeys that they are above the law.

From CNN, July 2016...

This was not his first time investigating the Clintons [Comey]

Nor his second. The email server probe marked the third time Comey has investigated Bill or Hillary Clinton.

His first run-in came in the mid-1990s, when he joined the Senate Whitewater Committee as a deputy special counsel. There he dug into allegations that the Clintons took part in a fraud connected to a Arkansas real estate venture gone bust. No charges were ever brought against either Clinton..."

"In 2002, Comey, then a federal prosecutor, took over an investigation into President Bill Clinton's 2001 pardon of financier Marc Rich, who had been indicted on a laundry list of charges before fleeing the country . ..."
