MSM Tones Down FBI Headlines

[Doctor Jack]

Fortunately those hysterical headlines have been downgraded after about 30 minutes of pure insanity. Most have gone from "FBI reopening investigation" to "FBI reviewing new emails in probe". Perhaps some damage but probably could have been a lot worse.

2. Maybe also ask Comey if he can take time from his busy schedule to review the new material

and get the fuck out of the way of our election process.

5. What do you mean get out of the way?

He embedded himself in Trump's campaign today. He has a job to do and only a few days left to do it if he wants to keep his job.

3. I do not see this, CNN.com has it in huge red reopen

4. Plus, Trump's response is over the top as usual

He's out there claiming this is "bigger than Watergate." It doesn't hurt if his over the top response becomes the story.

6. CNN hasn't changed their headline at CNN.com, and there interviewing mostly repukes

right now who are claiming it is a criminal investigation

11. They should put "unrelated" before probe.

But I guess we can't expect too much from those mofos.

12. I see no evidence of that nt

13. No they are not. CNN still saying FBI reopening case. Repubs squealing like pigs.

The FBI’s reopened investigation does open the door for Republicans to continue their bogus witch hunt if Hillary Clinton wins the White House. Unless voters want two more years of conspiracy investigations instead of action, today’s developments have made voting for Democrats in House and Senate contests more vital than ever.
