When will the New York Times admit it - No one but Hillary gave Wall St Speeches

[FreakinDJ]

Dear New York Times Editorial Staff

As if Paul Krugman's and his baseless endless attacks against Bernie were not enough - the editorial staff as a whole has continued to ignore a Gigantic Elephant in the room - No one but Hillary has given paid speeches to Wall St Banks.

Not Trump, nor Cruz, nor Kasich, and not even Bernie

We don't care how many exclusive interviews Hillary staffers have promised the New York Times, we the people are merely interested in the NEWS. You know that thingy some of you are actually paid to report. So lets try and get off your collective asses and actually do your job

1. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, FreakinDJ.

2. So lets try and get off your collective asses and actually do your job

I am not sure that is possible anymore. Journalism died in the 80's.

[Avalux]

3. Plain as day. Why aren't any in the media pointing this out? n/t

[morningfog]

4. It's the simple rejoinder to the claim of double standard.

[dchill]

5. They're not paid to report. That's so 20th Century..

They're paid to lie for Hillary, and lie against everyone else. It's ALL the MSM, print and broadcast and cable. Everyone knows it, and they don't care.

6. Bernie is a Senator and Cruz is a Senator it would be illegal for them to

make a paid speech to Wall Street. Kasich was employed by Lehman Brothers. The Donald is Wall Street.
Hillary Clinton was not in an elected political office at the time, it was perfectly legal for her to talk to whomever
wanted to pay her and for whatever they paid.

11. Legal? Yes.

Ethical? Not so much.

[doc03]

15. What is not ethical about it? She was a former government official

they all do it. Since Bernie has been an elected official for decades he couldn't make
a paid speech, apples and oranges.

[daleanime]

16. She is running for office now, right?

If she fails to lose, will she be involved in any decisions that just might affect those very same business's that were so generous to her?

The only thing fruity about it is the inability of some to see any potential conflict, or to worry that this behavior sets a horrible prescient. Oh course Sen. Cruz, I sure that ungodly amount of money had no affect on you.

[doc03]

20. So if you make a paid speech you are disqualified to ever run

for office. But if you support the NRA over the Sandy Hook families it is OK.

[daleanime]

21. I wanted to answer, but the NRA/Sandy Hook thing....

shows me that it's useless, have a lovely evening.

[msongs]

7. as of today your man is losing. who gave and didn't give speeches is a non-issue nt

[rhett o rick]

8. Only if you put winning above all else. How typical. No cares about those among us struggling.

Mammon: The greedy pursuit of wealth or the worship of it.

[daleanime]

12. According to them, we might as well get use to it....

once Hillary's been anointed we don't matter, not that we ever did as long as they're concerned.

[rhett o rick]

13. You and the Rich Fat Cats can only hurt those among us that are struggling so much before

you get a backlash.

[SusanCalvin]

9. That's about the size of it. nt

[silvershadow]

10. K&R

[fun n serious]

14. I want Bernie's taxes

NOT 2014 which was partially already there... but 8 years long form. He won't! It was very deceptive and disingenuous what he did today. Shameful

[hedda_foil]

17. Trump probably has. Not that he'd say anything new.

[ibegurpard]

18. Oh it wasn't just Wall Street
