Clinton Camp Claims Media Was Pro-Trump, Blames Them For ‘Devastating’ Loss.
The Daily Caller ^ | 11/10/2016 | Blake Neff

Posted on 11/11/2016 1:59:36 AM PST by Toadman

John Podesta said the defeat was due to a pro-Donald Trump bias in the media...

“The media always covered her as the person who would be president and therefore tried to eviscerate her before the election, but covered Trump who was someone who was entertaining and sort of gave him a pass,” said Podesta. “We need to reflect and analyze that and put our voices forward.”...

Palmieri: ..."we’re looking at a white board right now with lots of ideas,” said Palmieri. “We’re sort of figuring out what we need to do this week, and what we need Democrats to do in the next two months ahead of the inaugural.”

They MUST have been pro-Trump! Not one of them tried to detonate a bomb vest in Trump’s presence.

“The guy doing all the complaining here is Podesta, the same idiot who allowed his vicious and evil thoughts through e-mails to go public due to lack of security and caution. Let them stew in their own juices.”

I would not discount the evil of the Dims, if there is dirty trick they will find it. Soros needs to be thrown on a jet and send him on to Russia, Putin will know what to do.

What they’re saying is there needs to be more polarization, but that’s exactly what Obama’s regime did to precipitate this obvious backlash. Fortunately, they are incapable of a rational response.

One thing the MSM loved to do was to give Trump FREE air time in which they mocked him.

It turns out that what they were mocking, in reality, was the views of the 60 million people who voted for him. Little did they realize that some maroons and morans and morins and, yes, some morons, would call this pro-Trump bias.

Thanks for helping him get the word out!

Yep. The media covered the one who was out on the campaign trail holding rallies,
meetings, events rather than the one that stayed holed up in NYC tower most days.

Seriously? It’s too darned early to try and comprehend the level of dissociation and stupidity this news article exhibits. Maybe after a mug or three of coffee this will make a semblance of sense.

Chelsea, can make a red delicious apple disappear in two bites! She has been hired as a stand in for the new “Mr. Ed” movie.

I have it on good authority she does not bite unless she is cornered.

“We’re sort of figuring out what we need to do this week, and what we need Democrats to do in the next two months ahead of the inaugural.”

What the hell does that mean?

Interesting that J. B. Pritzker was in on the conference call. Looks like their gravy train is about to dry up.

June 30, 2016 5:00 am

Investors in some of the nation’s most heavily subsidized green energy companies are among the top campaign fundraisers for Hillary Clinton, who has pledged to step up government support for wind, solar, and other renewable energy companies.

Clinton’s green energy investor bundlers have been deeply involved in prior efforts at the state and federal levels to secure taxpayer funds for such companies. A Clinton presidency would virtually guarantee additional subsidies and government incentives.

“I met yesterday in Chicago with a big group of clean renewable energy businesses and they’re just ready to go,” she said at an Iowa campaign stop in November. “But they need some help from the government.”

That meeting was in fact a campaign fundraiser at the home of Michael Polsky, the chairman and chief executive of green energy firm Invenergy. He is one of a handful of Illinois-based bundlers for Clinton’s campaign who are deeply involved in the green energy industry, and have leveraged political connections to steer taxpayer funds to that industry.

Invenergy itself is a major beneficiary of federal subsidies. It is in the top three percent of recipients of federal grant money through the Treasury Department’s Section 1603 program, which provides grants in lieu of renewable energy investment tax credits.

The company received more than $20 million in 1603 grants in 2012, according to Treasury data. Just 13 other companies in Illinois received more money through that program.

In addition to his career in the business, Polsky founded and currently co-chairs a taxpayer-supported nonprofit called the Clean Energy Trust (CET), created in 2010 to connect green energy businesses and potential investors.

The group’s other co-chair is Nicholas Pritzker, a Clinton donor and member of the rich and powerful Chicago family that includes J.B. and M.K. Pritzker, who are also bundling donations to Clinton’s campaign. The J.B. and M.K. Pritzker Foundation has donated between $10 million and $25 million to the Clinton Foundation.

Another Clinton bundler, Antonio Gracias, serves as CET’s treasurer. He, Polsky, and Nicholas Pritzker sit on its board. All three were listed as founders of the group when it received its first grant from the Department of Energy, for $1.05 million in 2010.

Like Polsky, Pritzker and Gracias have significant financial stakes in the green energy industry, and have benefitted from government support for it.

Both are investors in billionaire Elon Musk’s solar company SolarCity and luxury electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla Motors. The two companies, which have received billions of dollars in state and federal taxpayer support, are currently considering a merger.

The Podesta Group, a lobbying firm founded by Clinton bundler Tony Podesta and his brother, campaign chairman John Podesta, currently represents SolarCity. The firm’s work of late has focused on preserving the company’s stream of federal tax credits.

When Pritzker, Polsky, and Gracias sought support for green energy companies in Illinois, they sought more direct cash payments. According to federal spending records, DOE has given the group about $2.6 million since its founding.

Clinton ran an extremely LOW ENERGY campaign, holding minimal rallies, refused to do actual press conferences, and depended on her media minions to do the heavy lifting of actually campaigning for her. Now, she is blaming them for not doing enough. Talk about ingratitude. Trump was exactly right, if it wasn’t for the media she wouldn’t have gotten half the votes she actually received.
