Why should it matter? Hillary is the best candidate for president. She should not be taken out by a little technicality of emails that don't amount to anything. The media is against her and should just get over it. She is the only competent candidate.

...the straw of a stable or barnyard. Oh, she haz a sad alright.

I channel cruised for a short time in the morning and afternoon, having missed the Obama/Clinton rally because I was off doing something else (gee, a life) and I was sickened by what I saw. As I said to our visiting friend, a Jewish artist (both ethnicity and subject matter): "They (the media) know what Trump is. Why are they doing this? It's all about reporting every tweet by Trump without correction. They're treating it like a game."

I just have to keep turning it off.

Hillary didn't get knocked out--as they really expected--in the NH primary. I particularly remember Mitchell acting as if she needed Prozac on her show the next day. I tuned in just to see how she took MSNBC's happy party around Hillary's death bed being so rudely cancelled. Happy was the word, too, laughing, in high spirits. At first.

I skimmed through as much of CNN and MSNBC as I could stomach yesterday, and by far most of it was negative and frequently dishonest twists on the FBI's exoneration of her on all possible criminal counts (which mostly wasn't mentioned at all, coverage focusing on her carelessness). One MSNBC blonde anchor folded her arms angrily as she indignantly said something about how "she just gets to walk away...?" When it comes to Hillary, it's obvious that NY/DC media group-think operates at about the same level as the typical Rush viewer. Truth irrelevant to the story.

a classic example of people with inadequate principles (in spite of her posturing) "conforming" themselves into a group slough.

It is really tragic when one is in the process of a witch hunt, and then gets burned instead! Not the way those clowns believed it would go! Bawahaha 😚

"hire me and you can get access to my husband." No, i do not mean that as sexist, I mean that MSNBC thought hiring her could be a way to get greenspan on and make him feel comfy.

"but of course"

This is the first election where the media have made no bones about trying to get their hands in the pot for nothing more than sheer billion dollar profit. A Hillary vs Bush match would have been a rating snooze, so they built up Trump.
