The media elites feel that shiver up the spine — and it's not victory
The Hill ^ | 9/9/2016 | Kenneth R. Timmerman

Posted on 09/09/2016 4:38:01 PM PDT by orchestra

Hillary Clinton's phony "press conference," where she took six questions from friendly reporters and filibustered nearly half of the time to trash-talk Donald Trump, shows a candidate and a campaign that is disintegrating in broad daylight.

Even The Washington Post noted there were "no questions about her emails," Topic A of the news cycle. Clinton's reckless mishandling of classified material — reinforced by her 39 memory "lapses" in her FBI interview — should disqualify her from office. And Americans get it.

The media elites are in a panic. They witnessed the meltdown of their candidate in broad daylight and can feel that shiver up their spine — except that this time, it is not the delight of victory they are feeling, but the dread of defeat.

They watched her spar unsuccessfully over this issue with Clinton Global Initiative member and NBC morning news anchor Matt Lauer during Wednesday night's national security forum, and blamed her poor performance on — Matt Lauer.

The Washington Post is now essentially an arm of the Democratic National Committee. It has done this with deep investigative dive into the penetralia of the Trump empire and no equivalent reporting about the Clinton emails, the Clinton Foundation's corrupt pay-to-play scheme or the nonstop lies from Clinton herself.

NBC and CBS have jumped on the bandwagon, highlighting Clinton's latest desperate claim that Trump is the favored candidate of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

American voters just aren't that stupid, but these news organizations wouldn't know anything about that. That's why they are called the media elites.

>>Who should be Trumps press secretary on Nov. 9? I say Michael Savage.

I, for one, am still holding out hope for R. Lee Ermey

I actually told somebody the same thing today. “There won’t be any live debates.” It would likely be Hilary’s undoing.

The left wing media needs to be tarred and feathered.

Even then, they’d declare, “I ain’t no ways tarred...”

I would think that they would begin on or about October 1st.

That assumes that they will even air them. There is no compulsion for them to accept any of Trump’s adverts, beyond simple greed.

"The fault, dear Hillary, is not in our moderators, But in ourselves, that we are underlings."

Apologies to Bill Shakespeare.

The loogie moment—better than Dukakis in a tank helmet or Kerry in his “clean suit”.

Mongol General: Conan! What is best in life?

I could be wrong but here on FR I read there are federal laws that say they have to air them. Whoever refuses risks their broadcast licence.
