Mark Meckler:
Remember when the media was supposed to be fair and impartial, working hard to speak truth to power, no matter which political party or partisan interest?
Hollywood loves to depict journalists as the ultimate heroes, fighting against the greedy power seekers in Washington. But as one of the latest email leaks makes clear, far too many of those supposedly hard-hitting journalists are actually pretty soft when their preferred candidate comes calling with cocktails and candidate access.
One of the latest email leaks breaks down the data revealed about the dark side of campaign efforts to co-opt the media.
The Intercept breaks down the revelations:
As these internal documents demonstrate, a central component of the Clinton campaign strategy is ensuring that journalists they believe are favorable to Clinton are tasked to report the stories the campaign wants circulated.
At times, Clinton’s campaign staff not only internally drafted the stories they wanted published but even specified what should be quoted “on background” and what should be described as “on the record.”
One January 2015 strategy document — designed to plant stories on Clinton’s decision-making process about whether to run for president — singled out reporter Maggie Haberman, then of Politico, now covering the election for the New York Times, as a “friendly journalist” who has “teed up” stories for them in the past and “never disappointed” them.
The Clinton campaign seems to know which journalists they can manipulate and depend on to churn out propaganda that will be favorable to their message and their spin. The strategy document leaked in these emails laid out the goals and angles they wanted Haberman to take. And what happened? Did their strategy work. Back to The Intercept:
We should all know by now the main-stream news media are solidly behind the demac-RATS in about every election the news media worships obama they kiss his rings,anoint his feet and bow down to his pictures the media are pretty much demacratic voters and supporters
The media/clinton hit pieces on Trump have now turned out to be a house of cards….
List of Debunked Groper Allegations by Corrupt Media Against Donald Trump
http://www.nachumlist.com/
No truth to any of the claims, how embarrassing for the lame stream media and the criminal clintons ….
So, how influential are the media?
Seems the media is taken with a large grain of salt.
And so, many in the media are picking up on the idea that Hillary Clinton may be a lesbian.
Google “Hillary Lesbian” to read about it.
Besides, Hillary is a very old and sick woman who trips, falls, coughs, hacks and lies.
@July 4th American: Yet you can bet propaganda organs like CNN, that have been running the anti-Trump stories non-stop are NOT covering any of the exposed falsehoods.
@Nanny G: We just drove to Great Lakes Naval Station from Texas for my grandson’s graduation from Navy boot camp and 55 in Missouri has scores of anti-Hillary billboards, some like, “USA For Sale… Call Hillary”.
No pro-Hillary signs seen.
Oh, please. Trump has been known to be a philanderer for years. He has openly boasted about it. It was never a secret.
@Greg: @Greg:
Where’s the proof. Innocent until. Whereas, crooked coughing healthless Hillary Clinton is condemned by all who witness her demonic radical behavior and Wikileaks leaks.
God bless and protect Donald J. Trump, future president of the United States of America.
@Greg:
bjclinton is a known rapist and now we learn is a pedophile…..
Now this:
From the email;
The clintons, Americas first family of Crime……
@Greg: One thing that always comes to mind when there are such accusations is that, if the facts are so clear, why is it necessary to lie? Perhaps, like Hillary, the left just LIKES to lie.
@July 4th American: More absolute proof that the left NEVER cares about individuals, rights, safety or any of their other pet issues. All they care about it the political utility of any of them.
A liberal that rapes? A liberal that enjoys the perks of hanging out with a billionaire pedophile? A liberal that insults law abiding American citizens? A liberal that breaks laws and lies before Congress? A liberal that proves herself to perform the duties of the President? A liberal that attacks rape victims because they are inconvenient? A liberal that lies and hurts taxpayers? A liberal that openly states they hate the military?
No problem… the fact that they are a liberal erases all that. No principles, no morals, no integrity, no credibility.
And NO place in the White House.
Americans have a choice. Breitbart Fox News Drudge Rush.
Your problem is that not everyone chooses the sources that YOU want them to use
Trump now is getting close to losing Georgia
Bill can you see a future where Texas is Blue?
Hillary’s media propaganda machine just cancelled the Fox News appearance for James O’Keefe after his video showing her team of dirty tricksters who were behind EVERY violent act attributed to Trump supporters during the primary campaign.

But all the media’s machinations for Hillary hasn’t translated into support:

Polls have been all over the map.
Some admit to over polling Democrats and put Hillary far in the lead.
Others under poll Independents and also put Hillary in the lead.
One polls the same 400 people and has Trump in the lead.
One thing all these have in common is small sample size.
Between 100 and 1,000 people are contacted.
So, what happens when a poll asks 1000 people from EACH state?
And if that poll counts 33% Republicans, 33% Democrats and 34% Independents from each of our 50 states?
The 50,000 person poll gave an interesting result:

@Nanny G: I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you are the most naïve poster at FA.
Do you understand the Electoral College?—Do you realize Trump has less than a one in ten chance of winning? The only question is how big Clinton’s win will be.
I noticed Red Team disappeared as HRC appeared for the first debate
@john:
Sure. With enough illegal immigrants and voter fraud, that could happen.
@Richard Wheeler:
I do understand the EC.
I had said, from the beginning, that Donald Trump has an uphill battle to win it.
The facts is only 32% of the people still trust the main-scream news media the lowest its ever been
@Nanny G: A Trump win is no longer an uphill battle It’s become an insurmountable mountain. He knows now he’s gonna lose so he’s setting up phony excuses for his Trumpeteers—He’s whining now and he’ll probably get real ugly over the final 20 days till his defeat on Nov. 8.
@Richard Wheeler: Is that how liberals support a candidate? If public opinion wanes, you just abandon your hopes for a better America? You might consider your OWN judgement rather than ride the wave of popularity, particularly when that popularity is based on a corrupt media that is lying to you and obscuring the facts.
Hillary is a criminal that traffics in nothing but lies and failure and the cow lawyer is not going to stop her. Only Trump can so you either support him or you support a corrupt liar packing the Supreme Court with those who appeal to corrupt liars.
None of the excuses liberals use to attack Trump are actual concerns because you have all proven you don’t care about any of that by the people you have, and still, supported.
Hillary is a criminal that should be barred from access to the White House, even as a tourist… she is also a petty thief.
@Bill- Deplorable Me: As FA’S leading Trumpeteer you continue to praise your clothe less emperor as he sinks in the polls from the weight of his own actions.
My fear is this classless loser will attempt to bring all down with him as his candidacy ingloriously implodes. His lackeys are becoming fewer and fewer..
@Richard Wheeler: Well, unlike you, I am not electing class; I am electing leadership and Trump demonstrates far more of it than Hillary. I also want someone that is not going to steal the furniture and turn the Oval Office into an orgy den.
