The radical leftist collective known as WikiLeaks tried to ruin the Democratic convention by posting a trove of Democratic National Committee emails that easily proved that party leader Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her staff shunned neutrality in favor of pushing Hillary Clinton's nomination. The Bernie Sanders socialists were enraged, their suspicions confirmed.
The media paid some attention to that, especially when Schultz was quickly ousted from her job. Guess what else was confirmed, which the media largely skipped over? The evidence in the emails that revealed great chumminess and coordination between Democrats and the supposedly "objective" national press.
You really don't need an email collection to know this. After all, NBC "News" hired Chelsea Clinton for $600,000 a year to make some of the most sleep-inducing "happy news" stories to ever air on television. She was producing stories less than once a month, or more than $50,000 a pop.
In February, Gawker made a Freedom of Information Act request for government emails from Hillary Clinton's PR aide Philippe Reines. The disclosed emails exposed Politico big-foot Mike Allen. He offered a cozy Politico chat with Chelsea Clinton: "No one besides me would ask her a question, and you and I would agree on them precisely in advance." When exposed, Allen spun the offer as "clumsy."
Well, the latest emails demonstrate Politico is still making a mockery of journalistic "independence." We now learn that "reporter" Ken Vogel sent a story on Clinton fundraising to DNC national press secretary Mark Paustenbach for a pre-publication review. Now, checking for confirmation of some numbers or confirming a quote -- that's OK. But the entire story? That is journalistic malpractice. The Democrats have Politico on a leash.
Reporters try to present a friendly face to most of their subjects, but they don't always boast, "Hey, you'll like this story I did." That's what happened with Juliet Eilperin, White House bureau chief for The Washington Post. She sent an email to Paustenbach cooing, "Dear Mark, I think you all will be totally fine with it. Thanks again for all your help. Best, Juliet." So the DNC gives blessings now? The front-page story was headlined: "Obama, who once stood as party outsider, now works to strengthen Democrats." The story wasn't as bad as a 2014 front-page puff piece from Eilperin touting how the Obama White House has changed the junk-food culture: "Calorie counts and hummus with vegetables are in." You don't need an email to see the chumminess.
CNN commentator Maria Cardona is identified on air as a Democrat, but the emails show that disclosure is a little incomplete. In emailed exchanges with DNC spinners, Cardona repeatedly asked how to perfect an op-ed for CNN.com. Collusion? Liberals will probably see no conflict of interest. Now remember how many fits the liberals have thrown over CNN in-house Trump analyst Corey Lewandowski still getting checks from The Donald.
Emails also show Wasserman Schultz yelling at reporters like they were servants -- and well, the media coverage can leave that impression. She titled an email to NBC's Chuck Todd "Chuck, This Must Stop" when Mika Brzezinski called for her to resign on "Morning Joe." DNC aides tried to arrange a meeting between the warring parties, but Todd replied, "Between us, do you think that's a good idea?" Wasserman Schultz scuttled it, wondering if Brzezinski "even matters, to be frank." Ouch.
The primary reason the media would skip covering their own lack of independence is obvious. The public already believes they aggressively favor one side in our political debates. Why put a spotlight on your problem? Transparency is a media buzzword, but it never applies to their own partisan games.
Methinks Julian Assange is greatly aggrieved that his progressive buddies in the White House have yet to give him the pardon he wants and feels he deserves.
The other aspect of this that is being ignored, is the stealing of votes for Sanders. Some of the states that Hitlery won were very close and might well have been won by Sanders if there weren’t ‘shenanigans’ going on
I’m shocked I tell you, shocked.
This is unaccountable government.
This is tyranny.
It’s being reported that the DNC staffer was the leaker and was executed by professional hitmen. The FBI has captured them.
The murdered DNC staffer, according to his girlfriend was on his way to meet with FBI RE: the Clintion Foundation.
I wonder if this type of collusion, where the media acts as a house organ for one political party, is beyond the protection of the First Amendment and thus susceptible to some type of RICO statute suit.
This is a heavy allegation. Can you provide the report?

Democratic staffer Seth Rich, the Washington??
IMO, it is demanding 'of the people, by the people, for the people' correction. A people's vote of No Confidence is in order. There is taxation without representation. There is no representation. There are unConstitutional activities everywhere. Government people have broken the COTUS directives, ignored our Law of the Land. We need people exiled from the U.S. and public hangings in front of the WH again. We'll see if Trump engages in a serious manner...
WikiLeaks Reveals Massive Criminality
An old list - at least 5 years old. Maria Bartiromo is now with Fox Business, Katie Couric was fired by CBS and is now with Yahoo! Global News, Fareed Zakaria is now with CNN, Jim Lehrer retired in 2011 and the show was renamed. Judy Woodruff is now one of the co-anchors.
Collusion like the forged Bush national guard memos?
Collusion like the leak of Abu Ghraib photos from perps who were already being prosecuted?
Collusion like the Journolist website with coordinatd talking points and media hit pieces?
Collusion like the orchestrated outrage over a toe tapper and sexting with a 17 year old Democrat aide?
Collusion like debate “moderators” writing books praising the Democrat candidate’s ‘historic’ campaign and another lying during the debate to defend the Democrat candidate from inconvenient truths?
LOL. It could happen any day, accompanied by an explanation of the timing -- "Just a coincidence"...
“This is a heavy allegation, Can you provide the report?”
