SHARYL ATTKISSON: I Saw Ex-Media Bureau Chief Urge Journalists to Defeat Trump (VIDEO)
the gateway pundit ^ | Aug 12th, 2016 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/12/2016 4:25:57 PM PDT by dontreadthis

Sharyl Attkisson: There’s definitely tilted news coverage. I can’t imagine any objective observer who would think otherwise. And, I tell you, I was in a room of journalists in which one of them encouraged the others quite publicly to step up and do something because he said the outcome of this election was so important. And the other thing he said led me to believe and others. He was talking about journalists stepping outside of their role to make sure Donald Trump doesn’t get elected. And he received applause for that. It’s fine for the pundits to do that but I think journalists are widely overstepping their roles.

Steve Malzberg: Obviously this was an organized event. Where were you? Can you tell us who said it?

Attkisson: It was an awards dinner for a group of journalists and I can’t remember which one of the Washington dinners in the past few months. And, you know, he received overwhelming applause… The public is much more divided you just don’t see their view represented in the news.

Malzberg: Again do you know who stepped up and said that?

Attkisson: No I don’t. I believe he was a former bureau chief.

When Trump wins, he needs to round up every one of the sh*tbirds in the DNC’s state controlled “media” and charge every one of them with treason for interfering with the election on behalf of the global communist party. Hang every one of these communist scumbags and let the buzzards pick at their bones.

Bless her heart, but the so-called “profession” of journalism is not entitled to any presumption of ethical conduct. Each reporter earns that on his or her own. Most of them have an agenda. A few exceptional ones aim to paint an accurate reality for their audience.

I wonder if the Clinton campaign is paying writers to write hit pieces in the media?

And some Freepers still believe the polls are accurate. Don’t buy it, people.

“I wonder if the Clinton campaign is paying writers to write hit pieces in the media?”
The do it out if goodwill.
Which makes me wonder whether there is a FEC complaint here re: not reporting in-kind contributions.

who needs a video when you've got a quote like this He was talking about journalists stepping outside of their role to make sure Donald Trump doesn’t get elected.

now, I ask you, doesn't that sound eerily familiar to what these same journalists were implying that Trump was saying to "2nd Amendment people" ??? Who these same journalists think are all trigger-happy nutcases 'from the south' (Morning Joe), without stopping to think that many NRA members are police, and military and background-checked citizens, including Dems.

And yet here these journalists are, calling Trump 'dangerous' 'a threat to the nation' 'totally disfunctional' 'must be stopped' 'someone has to do something' (Morning joe again) and so on and so on, without a care on their part that their 'words matter', too . But, chances are, their words had something to do with the first attempt on Trumps' life a few months ago. And what are the odds their words have a lot to do with how Trump rally attendees are beaten in the street by animals for wearing a t-shirt or hat.

We need more investigative reporters such as Sharyl Attkisson.
