Wish the MSM was at least competent in being biased

WikiLeaks emails showed that Brazile had tipped Podesta with debate questions, who provided them to Clinton. And did not publicly disclose so.


I'm not surprised. But still, damn. Really? Not even say, dropping it off anonymous envelope? Or thumb drives?

This is part of the current voter revolt.

These people act like and believe that they are the elites, the betters of the lowly plebeians that make up the rest of the country, while all evidence indicates that they are incompetents.

They are even incompetent in their corruption!

The networks had said they expected to resume their relationship with Brazile after the election.

That is the absolute proof of why no one trusts or even likes the media anymore.

I think the biggest loser this election will be the MSM.

They have way overplayed their hand being in the tank for Clinton, to the point that even liberal voters are raising their eyebrows. It's kind of sad to think that pre-alternative news and bloggers, we would not even know about stuff like this. Kind of sad to think how often it was likely gotten away with (across the political spectrum) pre-internet.

I think the market has pushed it a little.  Pre-internet investigative reporting actually got news organizations ratings and advertising because people tuned in to watch and actually read newspapers.  Now, the news always breaks first on the internet or radio shows and people go there to learn about it.  No one cares about the news shows on TV/cable.

Yeah, and I have to laugh when people challenge a juicy internet item or radio show "bit" by asking, "Do you have a reliable mainstream source for that?"

We might not have been right but we were first to report it.

I believe Drudge or one of the sites did have a report before one of the debates saying an intern from the news network doing the debate hand carried a package and put it in the hands of one of Hillary's top campaign people.  No one knew what the package was, but the intern declined to hand the package off to receptionists up front according to the report. 

The sad thing is Hillary had all the debate questions ahead of time and still couldn't win the debate.

I've seen a video on someone shared on Facebook, I think, of one of her people, don't remember his position, feeding reporters questions during an interview. One he typed it up on his phone then showed it to a reporter, and another you see him texting and then motion to someone to check their phone.

That incident took place in the campaign aircraft, IIRC. It made it beyond book of faces, because I saw it and I don't have/do book of faces. So it probably made Drudge and, since he's only a collector of links, that means it was reported ... somewhere.
