(92,219 posts)However, the way the media is intentionally pushing the false narrative, sure isn't making it easier
NY Times has reported the full facts, and the major cable outlets are still pushing the lies:
"That the FBI has reopened the Clinton Email investigation, and implying that this has something to do with Hillary's emails and her server."
All untrue. It has nothing to do with Hillary or her email server:

MSNBS started this misrepresentation and lies, either intentionally, or because they are truly inept, and the rest of the MSM piggy backed on

(36,437 posts)In any case, your unwarranted panic or seeming panic on this earlier more or less wrecks your cred for me for the rest of the cycle. It was embarrassing. You might be wound a bit tight at this point to make good judgments.

(92,219 posts)hopefully you are right and I am wrong, but as long as the MSM has this on their front page, it is a problem

(40 posts)I really like how cool her campaign is.
Like another campaign was when the Rev. Wright story broke.

(81,322 posts)The moment I heard that it had to do with Anthony Weiner, I figured it's pretty much gonna fizzle.
Trump & Comp are going to try to make hay out of it. But I'd bet that these new discoveries will be another full plate of nothingburgers. All the rest have turned out that way. Boring, pedestrian, unremarkable.

(4,150 posts)Are they going to BLAST their CORRECTION(S) with the same intensity (and size) as the original 'Accusation'. . . .????
Or. . . As in WhiteWater-- Are we going to still have 'confusion' on the public's part, as NOBODY ever sets this shit straight?

(45,806 posts)I'm reasonably sure people have made up their minds who they're voting for. Those people will look at this as a blatant demonstration of the Pub's dirty trick campaign. I think it also is going to energize voters who were thinking they didn't need to vote because Hillary has already won. They don't think that anymore. THEY WILL VOTE FOR SURE!
This will spark the "complacent ones" to get out and vote...
