"Ouch! We Busted Wall Street Journal Reporter Running DNC Talking Points Essentially Verbatim #DNCLeaks #DemsInPhilly"
GotNews.com is finally getting around to the DNC leaks. And boy are they awesome. We found a reporter — Laura Meckler of the Wall Street Journal — who is basically a stenographer for the Hillary Clinton campaign.
That might seem harsh but Meckler actually once used a sock puppet to try to get an interview with Obama so she’s used to being a puppet or getting stories planted.
Given WSJ’s consistant anti-Trump harping, the woman’s actions appear to fit.
If there’s one thing I don’t understand in all this is lack of accountability and consequences. Media proven to be working for a specific candidate, the media who’s responsible for getting objective news to the people, and nothing comes of it.
WSJ used to be a good paper...........now it’s not fit for kitty litter..........................
The Wall Street Journal editors have admitted already that they prefer Hillary over Trump.
Just why would you pay these idiots $80k or $100k a year, if they were just taking material straight from the DNC? Just hire some high school kid from Detroit and pretend he can write....and pay him $25k a year. Bust the fake reporters, and send them to another job.
She will get by with it until drudge picks it up.
Then it will be talked about for a week or so
And then back to normal.
Now that we know there is a snake in the garden, we just avoid the snake.............................
Hehehe. The "sock puppet" used a sock puppet, eh? d;^)
I was bored this am so I turned on Morning Blows on PMSNBC. Mika isn’t even pretending to be impartial. The arrogant MSM doesn’t even realize that they are severely damaging their brand with the average American.
The MSM is an enemy of the Republic. Has been for a long time.
ust why would you pay these idiots $80k or $100k a year, -———————————
I think you are on low side. Sadly, they are probs paying her much more ;(
A former Democrat “friend” (now an ex-friend) of mine sounded like every liberal talking head for years. The playbook/script has clearly been defined and used by the DNC. Little sheeple, all in a row.
So true.
Just who do you think should and/or will make something come of it?
A few decades ago, before I had cable and got only broadcast channels, I noticed something with the network news programs. Sometimes the local stations would schedule the network news at 5 and others at 5:30. Thus, I could watch 2 different national news programs.
I noticed a pattern.
Most of the time, they ran the same stories. The order may have varied, but the content was basically the same. In fact, some of the stories were presented almost word-for-word from network news program to network news program.
Another thing I noticed was polls. On slow news days, they managed to have some kind of poll with results that were slanted in their preferred direction. Need a news headline? Commission a new poll.
DNC talking points? No, not just them. They take the dribble handed out by the Dem whitehouse press office extant and run with it. No questions asked. Most news people long ago we just known as sots. Now they are drunk with politics.
History of journalism here has been a tad ragged. Morrow, Severied, Cronkite are held up as paragons. Not mentioned is some of journalists in history have been on the pad of gangsters. It was common knowledge that during the Capone era in Chicago, they wrote pieces of gang propaganda for him. Even Puzo in his Godfather books notes the gang had journalists on the pad. The “fourth branch” of government is more like the 5th column.
