It's 'Our Jobs' As Journalists to Shift Conversation Away From Clinton's Past

During a conversation Wednesday night at a YMCA in New York City, CBS’ late night host Stephen Colbert interviewed CBS News political director John Dickerson on the race for the White House. At some point in the interview, they took audience questions in which one person asked if Bill Clinton’s past should affect Hillary Clinton’s future. Dickerson responded by admitting that it was one of journalists’ “jobs” to steer the conversation away from candidates' pasts.

Can you think of any company who would hire a corrupt almost 70 year old habitual liar who is under FBI investigation as their CEO...because she's a woman? Yet the socialist main stream media megaphone for the so called Dummy party, protect her (like they do most dummy politians)and want her for President. Why (IMHO)? They're more socialist than her!

Ambassador Stevens could not be reached for comment!

...Dickerson responded by admitting that it was one of journalists’ “jobs” to steer the conversation away from candidates’ pasts....

This is what passes for “journalism” today?
And the public is finally catching on.

Unless, of course, it's Trumps past.

Exactly...I can’t believe this fool admitted as much...

Journalists’ “jobs” are to report the TRUTH...No matter who it involves or hurts...

[Doogle]

Guess Dickerson suddenly forgot the new news ad slogen

HONESTY....INTEGRITY.... ACCOUNTABILITY

[Sacajaweau]

Like.....What difference does it make now??

Had problems at the linked site. Not sure what was going on, but it just jumped around like a bucking horse.

[Bon mots]

...because it's totally spoiling the coronation...

[dhs12345]

Today? They have been doing it for decades!

[Mier]

Yes, that’s free game! The libtard media are focused like a laser on Trumps past! Any lie and half truth goes!

If that is your job, Mzzzzzzzz March, then you are not a journalist, but a Clinton sycophant operative.

Anymore, they do seem one in the same.

[TomGuy]

Correction:

If that is your job, Mrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Dickerson ...

Ross Perot quipped at a debate back in 92 that “Bill Clinton was not qualified to manage a midsized WalMart, let alone the nation.”

True then true now and goes double for his Cow, HRC.

Should Trump refer to H> as Bill Clinton's “Cash Cow”?

Interesting... I just finished reading an interview with Melania Trump in DuJour Magazine where she mentions the reporters recently going to Slovenia and digging through public records trying to get dirt on her half-brother from 1960.

She also mentioned that the Secret Service code name for Donald Trump is "mogul".

The Ministry of Propaganda at work.

Nothing from them should be believed at face value.

[GOPJ]

Lowlifes and proud of it...

Guy’s a joke - but not a funny one.

I don’t like Colbert or his politics but I can’t help but like his testimony before Congress.

They don’t seem to have a problem with reporting on Trump’s past. I guess it’s one of those wacky, commie lib things. Hate is ugly. Especially when it’s the “tolerant” among us who are spreading it. Slick Willie would be moving back into the White House and functioning as a government employee again if Clinton wins. HE’S FAIR GAME. LET ‘ER RIP!!!
