'Journalists' clap and cheer for Clinton during 'press conference'
American Thinker ^ | August 6, 2016 | Rick Moran

Posted on 08/06/2016 7:21:15 AM PDT by detective

Hillary Clinton chose the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists convention to admit she "short-circuited" her answers on the email controversy.

She chose well. During her address, the "journalists" in the audience cheered and clapped for Clinton, interrupting her about a dozen times. And then there was the carefully screened "Q&A" as some of these same "journalists" who had recently been cheering her became little more than props in her campaign asking her questions.

Clinton officials as well as representatives of the two "journalistic" organizations insist that the Kabuki dance between Clinton and the "reporters" should be considered a "press conference" – the first in more than 230 days for the candidate.

This is what Trump is up against.

MSM reporters will do anything to help Clinton. They will tell any lie to get Clinton elected.

They are Clinton propaganda agents and Clinton cheerleaders. Do not believe a word they say.

This is what Trump is up against. It is amazing that he has gotten this far.

This is what America is up against.

It wasn’t a press conference, it was a pep rally with some “minority” media types who are just as slavishly devoted to her as Huma.

It’s what Bush was,up against. It’s what McCain was up against. It’s what Romney was up against. A not-curious, in-the-tank, state-controlled media is one of the greatest dangers the US faces. It is truly an existential threat.

“It wasn’t a press conference, “

That line will be met with :

“You’re a racist.”

They weren’t ‘journalists’. They were and are haters, oppressors and political ideologues. To call them ‘journalists’ is an insult to what is left of ‘journalism’.

It’s what McCain was up against. It’s what Romney was up against.

To even say "up against" implies some sort of effort to address the battle at hand. There was nothing of the sort for either of them. They BOTH gave the contest away through their cowardice and lack of a will to fight.

Journalists are no longer journalists. They are now simply in-kind donaters to the Dems.

I would argue that the Media/Entertainment Complex is our greatest threat.

Well, there it is...she’s not human at all. She’s a Stepfordish robot with bad circuit panels. Explains a lot.

But I never knew robots aged that badly...

A functioning democracy depends on a free flow of timely and factual information so that people can be aware of, and think through, the issues of the day.

Given its strong and sympathetic bias in favor on leftist ideology, the state-controlled media is not acting in good faith or serving the interests of the people in this country. In this sense, it is in actuality a threat to our democracy.

A threat that needs to be neutralized.

They understand fully what they are doing and that there are ways to make it very dangerous for them to continue doing it.

Make a few examples like Putin did and all of a sudden they fall in line.

Do you remember when Obama said that Hillary was just like he was except Hillary is Ginger Rogers in heels and dancing backwards (a reference to the great Astaire/Rogers movies)?

Obama's talk shows he is a queer and he is achieving his goal of getting America up the derriere.

Turns out the greatest mistake our founders made was freedom of the press. Should have assured all those in the press had differing viewpoints so bias could be checked, but here we have practically 98% of the media part of the Democrat machine deliberately going after anyone challenging and suppressing bad news for their party so there is no check on power.

... Journalist clap and cheer.

They were told to clap and cheer in order to keep her awake and ... So she wouldn’t “short-circuit” again ——— sort like that clap-on, clap-off light switch thingy.
