Wikileaks Reveals All the Journalists Who Schmoozed With Clinton Campaign
AIM ^ | February 7, 2018 | Brian McNicoll

It’s 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 campaign’s Joel Benenson.

These are mid to upper level churnalists who controlled A LOT of the content that was published by the MSM in the 2016 campaign. Lack of “A-list” media celebs is irrelevant, this was a working meeting of the cabal to plan and shape the “messaging” agenda for the Hillary campaign.

Every person on this list should be permanently barred from covering politics in anything other than an explicitly “opinion” role, i.e, they can exercise their citizen rights to spout personal opinions but no one should employ them as “objective, impartial” journalist reporters.

Does someone have that photo on Clinton’s campaign plane of all the wide-eyed, adoring reporters?

Cecilia Vega, David Muir, Diane Sawyer, Jon Karl and George Stephanopoulos of ABC News;

Where I live in western Colorado we get the ABC evening news at 5PM followed by NBC with Lester Holt @ 5:30. Watch both of them and by far ABC is the most biased. NBC less so. Cecilia Vega, although attractive, exudes hatred for Trump. Georgie Steph is nothing more than a 'rat operative that got a great gig at ABC.

This is in line with prior liberal reporter collaboration efforts like Ezra Kleins “Journolist” (2007-2010). In that instance, they used a secret Google Group to coordinate stories or shelve stories that were not in their collective interest.

Sarah Huckabee should have this article on the podium with her at every White House press conference and every time one of these slimes gets a chance to ask a question, Sarah should take a minute to consult it and then announce “I just wanted to check if you were on the list” before answering - I’d love to see the likes of April Ryan squirm a bit......

I think all the Clinton Foundation had to do was send out franked invitations for a big picnic in Ft. Marcy Park for all the media types to get them to toe the line.

Well, at least those that showed the occasional sign of having some iota of possible scruples.

The primary offending corporations: Comcast, TWC, Disney — but that’s a secret...

NBC, MSNBC, Axios are Comcast - ~8 individuals
ABC is Disney - ~6 individuals
CNN is Time Warner - ~8 individuals

Thanks detective. How's the overlap with the old Journolist?
