OMG!! The deck is STACKED.
Oy!
Man, twenty-thousand dollars. That’s a hefty amount. Wonder if CNN realizes that he’s a member of her club. Was he on her server listing too?
The Clinton Foundation later told Mediaite that none of these journalists were asked to pay the $20,000 membership fee required of members
MSM, bought and paid for.
pure scum
Maybe him and Shep Smith can have a Johnson-athon.
Huge headline on Drudge, Rush talking about it. Article belongs in News forum, not buried in Chit Chat
That does it, I’m not going to watch now that it seems the media are Hillary supporters.
Stage positions for debate that begins at 8:30 pm EST on CNN.
On either side of Clinton, the highest-polling candidate, are Bernie Sanders (to Clinton’s right)
and Martin O’Malley (to her left). Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee, the fourth- and fifth-placing
candidates, bookend the stage.
Totally fair.
Yep and that is what CNN calls objective journalism.
They are nothing but political hacks pretending to be objective journalist.
I am shocked to hear this, shocked I say.
I’m impressed by the impartiality here. /sarcasm
Stupid GOP.
EVERY FRICKING TIME THE DEMS CONTROL THE DEBATES.
F ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!
was... WAS??? try IS!Mark Hemingway writes that these journos did not have to pay the $20,000 to join,but that having these journos on the roster helped sell membership to donors who wanted access to the journos. That means they were sort of “at service” of the CGI. But what about the opposite? How about journos who may want access the rich members? Journos are not supposed to pay for access to stories. What benefit does a journalist get for being a member of the CGI if they don’t actually pay to join? If they don’t pay they are not contributing in any financial way towards the “charities”. So what and why are they signing up for?
It doesn’t make sense, except if you think of it as a big clubhouse where money and favors are traded. We have rich tradition of that in the USA such as Tammany Hall and the Chicago Machine/Mayor Daley and so on... but for journalists to accept $20,000 in gifts to a “charity” membership makes no sense on its face. They are supposed to be impartial, supposed to be able to report on anything newsworthy. Seems to me they sold out their ethics by accepting this free membership.
