At some point, given all we know, you either think she is a corrupt and nasty person or you simply don’t care.

We knew all of this - the emails simply confirm what we already knew. The average person does not pay as much attention to news as we do and they are likely becoming numb to this constant barrage. There has been enough to make up their minds.

Just my .02. With that said, I have found some of this stuff very interesting and if they have more (they say they do) they are probably getting upset at the new media characterization of it all.

Bingo! And no one does care. Everyone's mind is made up already. The only questions are: what is the true October surprise that's coming (if anyone believes it was that tape they're stupid) and what impact will it have on the election.

Stuff like this (the "bombshell" here) will never be seen by anyone. Not on the MSM of course and not on the Internet. Why? Because some people don't want to tick off their Facebook "friends" by posting it there, others don't want to potentially lose their job by posting it there while others don't want to tick off their fellow church goers/relatives/real life friends by posting it there. Or anywhere else on the Internet that will have an impact on real people and their real decisions in real life.

Someone said upthread that this isn't the 1970's, the MSM doesn't control information anymore. That's true to a certain extent. They don't control the amount of info or kind of info one has easy access to anymore but leftists remain in control of news outlets that matter on the Internet, and guess what, outside of us political junkies on FR, individual blog sites that no one has heard of don't count to average Joe Voter. Such an average consumer (and I use that term properly) regards Facebook and Twitter as "alternative forms" of information. But guess what again: leftists control them!!

There is leftist control of content on Facebook and Twitter but also the controls I mentioned above which is the caution and outright fear imposed by all of one's "friends" (both offline and on) one's employer and one's social status in the community at large. It all still comes down to how many people are willing to put it all on the line for truth?

Not enough and that's the real problem.
