Hyperbole aside, there is a grain of truth in the sentiment that sometimes the corporate media IS forced to cover things, but only if enough people know about what they are NOT covering.

It becomes a balancing act of trying to maintain the veneer of credibility, with the desire to maintain narratives and protect their owners interests.
 
I'm starting to think you actually have a real gambling problem:eek: Please see help Jack.

Please take your pick of any of the following.

You're responding to a ideologues opinion with facts. It's a waste of time. Hell of a post though sir.

From what I remember of his AMA on Reddit, supposedly he used front companies (offshore shell companies) to look legit and was invited to the White House. Guess we'll see tomorrow.
 
The email that tweet alleges to link to is this one:
https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/12278

It looks nothing like that screenshot. Did you bother to factcheck at all before sharing that?

I just looked and the link is correct.

On the wiki page, notice there is an 'attachements' tab. That twitter is showing the contents of the attached document, not the text of the email conversation.

edit: Actually the email Id that contains the attachement is not 12278, it's 12280

Please refer to my earlier post regarding the wisdom of not giving a response to rumors of a political nature.


Whats your summary of this situation? Your posts have been too cryptic for me to figure it out.
 
I've seen lots of stuff that is problematic but...who was this mail sent to?
From Hillary's communications director, Kristina Schake, to John Podesta. I don't see the issue with it really.
This is the first interview she did after the prep.
In a vacuum, I would agree with Rup, but these leaks have shown that what Hillary dictates, people in the media follow.

That's why her internet shills, Correct the Record, went dark for a few days when she collapsed on 9/11. They were waiting for word straight from the Hillary team as to how to spin what happened (and we got the whole "power through" narrative).


So the real question is, how did the media treat this plan of attack? Given everything that has leaked, I'm not prone to believe they were resistant to it.
 
Boston Globe:
As watchdog, media belong in doghouse

Unfortunately, we have learned via WikiLeaks that the media have failed to live up to their responsibilities. News organizations and reporters have been colluding with the Clinton campaign to cover up her scandals and promote her candidacy.

Reminiscent of the media during the build up to the Iraq War. I'm sure they'll apologize 2 years into Clinton's reign. Or not.
