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.

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......
Where’s Fake Yapper?
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?
