EXCLUSIVE: New Email Leak Reveals Clinton Campaign’s Cozy Press Relationship
The Intercept ^ | 10/9/2016 | Glenn Greenwald

Posted on 10/09/2016 4:07:33 PM PDT by GilGil

INTERNAL STRATEGY DOCUMENTS and emails among Clinton staffers shed light on friendly and highly useful relationships between the campaign and various members of the U.S. media, as well as the campaign’s strategies for manipulating those relationships.

The emails were provided to The Intercept by the source identifying himself as Guccifer 2.0, who was reportedly responsible for prior significant hacks, including one that targeted the Democratic National Committee and resulted in the resignations of its top four officials. On Friday, Obama administration officials claimed that Russia’s “senior-most officials” were responsible for that hack and others, although they provided no evidence for that assertion.

As these internal documents demonstrate, a central component of the Clinton campaign strategy is ensuring that journalists they believe are favorable to Clinton are tasked to report the stories the campaign wants circulated.

At times, Clinton’s campaign staff not only internally drafted the stories they wanted published but even specified what should be quoted “on background” and what should be described as “on the record.”

The media is working over time to get rid of Trump. Maybe the big media wants Hillary to get rid of Drudge, Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity after she is elected. The media gets propaganda power back to promote the Democrat Party line without opposition. The fight for power and control of the American People’s minds is in play. Trump is a threat to the msm control.

I no longer recognize the country I grew up in. The Left has taken a wrecking ball to it. We have changed and decayed in profound ways that do not bode well for our future. That’s for sure.

If she wins there will be a purge of all things conservative. Drudge will be their number one target.
