your question....
"Media"
It's corporatized. Who does the GOP work for? Corporations.....Who controls the "GOP messaging" we get? Corporate MSM.
Round and round we go....

pro-Corporate pro-Neo-Confederate (formerly known as Republicans) propaganda.

It's one of the MAJOR reasons why they were (and will continue) fighting hard to kill net neutrality (the other reason is monopolizing profits from internet traffic - a win-win for them, a lose-lose for us little people).

They realize that the American people - especially young people - aren't watching enough "news" on teevee and aren't exposed enough to their well-crafted propaganda pieces. They, instead, prefer to get their political info from the internet, so they wanted to control the messaging via that avenue, too.

Thanks to President Obama, that ain't gonna happen.

And Clinton kerfuffles make a great story...


The Jeb Bush e-mail kerfuffle might have legs because he is a somebody. At this point almost nobody cares about say, Scott Walker's and Rick Perry's e-mails, because in the scheme of things they are nobodies.

Republicans in office destroyed thousands of emails after 911 and the lead up to the Iraq war.
The Media made excuses for them and never was an investigation of it.

with her secret lesbian witches' coven of satanists. Unlike with Chimpo it's naturally assumed that there is malevolence and evil in Hillary's messages. Murdering Vince Foster in the White House and rolling his dead body in an oval office rug to secretly remove it from the grounds will just be the tip of the iceberg in those dastardly emails.
