Its not news mainstream media lined up en masse behind Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential campaign, but it is worth noting how many in the media were willing to compromise their ability to report fairly on the election by connecting themselves to her campaign. At least 65 prominent mainstream media personalities were participating in dinners, cocktail receptions and other functions, according to an analysis of material exposed by Wikileaks. The events were held ostensibly to make them feel like insiders to the campaign and promoters of its objectives.
In what was billed as an off-the-record meeting for drinks with Clinton campaign insiders, at least 38 New York-based media members attended a dinner and drinks party in April 2015 thrown by the campaigns Joel Benenson.

LOL!!! There’s not ONE A-LIST media person in that pathetic group of names!!! Hilliary is scraping the bottom of the barrel!
In many countries, the ruling class has to torture journalists to get them to toe the line, in the US you just have to give them cocktails overlooking Grammercy Park.
I saw Diane Sawyer is on the list. I expected to see Wolf Blitzer.
No mention of Spikey Isikoff. Hmmmm....
The Deep State is deep and wide!
“Theres not ONE A-LIST media person in that pathetic group of names!!”
It is not an all inclusive list.
Ii is just a list of those who attended a Clinton indoctrination party.
All need to be banned from WH access
I wonder how many she has had to push in from of oncoming trains?
Ah.
The “trusted” sources approved by Facebook and Twitter.
That might be a list of those, who committed loyalty to her, but there are at least DOZENS more, who might as well be on that list, even today.
Like many, I get my news from right here since this is the best source. This then leads to an endless number of links that can be reviewed some of them opinion and some of them original sources. When it comes to television, I flip mostly flip through Fox, MSNBC and CNN I want to hear what Hannity, Carlson and Ingraham have to say and who they are interviewing but I also want to hear what the latest crap is that is being said on MSNBC and CNN that they are trying to foist on to the public. The thought that I had today was this there must be some really interesting discussions going on in the backrooms of MSNBC and CNN that go sort of like this . Yeah, I know that we are duty bound to push the narrative of Trump and Russia, Russia, Russia and we also want to make sure that we spin everything that is going great to make it sound like Trump is driving us off a cliff . and we must of course protect Maobama at all costs from any exposure to anything . and it goes without saying that Clintons malfeasance must NEVER see the light of day. BUT, the people arent buying it and the evidence is now mounting in an exponential and its so readily apparent that we are lying through our teeth. At what point do we abandon this wreck of a course we are on, do a total mea culpa and get back to reporting actual news again? Because if we dont, we are going to lie ourselves into complete oblivion! Do we have to destroy ourselves completely before were allowed to abandon this evil mission?
Show me a reporter who wasn’t in the tank for Hillary Clinton LOL
cheap PR
JUST A FEW DRINKS
And remember in those countries the media is primarily government owned! Here in the US the media is for the most part privately owned. However that does not seem to guarantee independence or even a healthy skepticism in the news boys & girls.
...The list of reporters controlled by Hillary Clinton is a long one...
And this list is nowhere complete.
Martha Radditz, Jim Acosta, Long Gone Charlie Rose, little Chuck Todd, and hundreds more, including the entire air staffs of PBS NBC CBS, ABC, MSNBC HLN,CNBC and CNN
Hillary had many closed-door meetings over the course of the campaign.
So, can’t expect every media sycophant to be at this one meeting, some of them were at the Chicago closed-door meeting, some were at the L.A. closed-door meeting, some at the Seattle closed-door meeting, etc.
Too many willing media sycophants to fit in one city!
Bkmrk.
2016 was the year the Liberal Media dropped any pretense of being objective. On Election Night 2016, these "journalists" were depressed over the defeat of their queen.
He was out back driving the limo....
