Links to stories of news media figures supporting the Clintons

 

Fly Specks on the Debate Commission Table    .."The last thing I read before going to sleep was Rick Ballard’s pithy comment on the news that almost every media operation and figure had contributed to the Clinton slush fund:


“It's actually the perpetual Clinton Campaign using tax deductible donations to the Foundation to finance itself. If the investigative press were not extinct, they would be trumpeting the names of Clinton campaign workers and vendors sustained by employment by the Foundation rather than paying access fees to it.”
. . .
[I]t still must be pointed out that if a journalist were exposed as giving money to the Koch Brothers charities and then reported on them, there would be howls for his scalp throughout the media. The rules are different for liberals. Analysts who wonder about the shrinking audience for such shows and networks whose political coverage is drenched in the tired rhetoric of liberalism need wonder no more. Stephanopoulos’s lack of transparency i[n] this story is just one more piece of evidence indicting mainstream outlets for outrageous and blatant liberal bias.
But it has ramifications far beyond the media bubble.

 

 Victor Davis Hanson: George Stephanopoulos’s Clinton Foundation Hypocrisy Is Staggering
 . . . "When he attacked Schweizer for a supposed conflict of interest in having been a Bush speechwriter for four months, he assumed that his own much longer tenure as a war-room political flak for Bill Clinton could never impinge on his own objectivity — much less provide the context for his recent donations to the Clinton family foundation." . . .

Clinton Foundation donors include dozens of media organizations, individuals
. . . " The following list includes news media organizations that have donated to the foundation, as well as other media networks, companies, foundations or individuals that have donated. It is organized by the size of the contribution:" . . .

Flashback: George Stephanopoulos to Hillary Clinton: 'I Love You'     . . . "But Stephanopoulos's affinity for the Clintons has never been in doubt. In 1999, the now-ABC anchor recounted his "love" for Hillary Clinton and the heartfelt affection he received in response." . . .

George Stephanopoulos has forfeited all trust as a newsman " The hat trick of arrogant anchor scandals helps explain why Americans don’t trust network news. With apologies to Walter Cronkite, that’s the way it is, and the way it is stinks."

Stephanopoulos Another Example Of Revolving Door Journalism
 President Clinton discusses his campaign with reporters aboard Air Force One on Nov. 6, 1996. He is joined by advisors George Stephanopoulos, right,...

"Media Bias: George Stephanopoulos' $75,000 gift to the Clinton Foundation says a lot about the major media. Not only are they dominated by the left, but their stars have often worked for the very people they're supposed to cover.

"Political operatives become journalists, and journalists become political operatives. It happens all the time.

"But Stephanopoulos didn't just take a job as a talking head or pundit. He was elevated to a high-profile news position. He poses as an objective journalist when, in fact, his entire background has been political." . . .

‘WE DON’T LIKE YOU AND NEVER WILL': SNL Goes After Hillary Again With Wicked Funny Skit

Clash Daily   "Saturday Night Live produced another hillary-ous skit lampooning Hillary Clinton and her ‘summer campaign’. Enjoy."
 Video is a bit jerky, but fun.


Hillary’s Endless Reintroduction Tour

 

Why does Hillary Clinton—the best-known female politician in the world—feel a need to constantly reintroduce herself to the American people? Ana Marie Cox makes the case for authenticity over artifice.

"The biggest problem with the premiere video out of Hillary Clinton’s Brooklyn campaign headquarters isn’t the video itself."

Barack Obama Marks Death Of B.B. King With Picture Of . . . Barack Obama…


"Even worse, half his official statement is about himself.

President Obama had the following to say on the passing of American icon B.B. King:
“The blues has lost its king, and America has lost a legend. B.B. King was born a sharecropper’s son in Mississippi, came of age in Memphis, Tennessee, and became the ambassador who brought his all-American music to his country and the world. No one worked harder than B.B. No one inspired more up-and-coming artists. No one did more to spread the gospel of the blues.

Three years ago, Michelle and I hosted a blues concert at the White House. I hadn’t expected that I’d be talked into singing a few lines of “Sweet Home Chicago” with B.B. by the end of the night, but that was the kind of effect his music had, and still does. He gets stuck in your head, he gets you moving, he gets you doing the things you probably shouldn’t do – but will always be glad you did. B.B. may be gone, but that thrill will be with us forever. And there’s going to be one killer blues session in heaven tonight.”

Hillary Clinton’s consigliere covers up her scandals


"If Congress really wants to get to the bottom of Hillary Clinton’s missing Benghazi and pay-to-play emails, it should call her consigliere Cheryl D. Mills to testify — under oath, and under the klieg lights.

"A hearing featuring Clinton will be a wasted show trial with a lot of political grandstanding.

"But Mills, who served as the former secretary of state’s chief of staff and counselor, knows where the bodies are buried. After all, Hillary tasked her with “identifying and preserving all emails that could potentially be federal records.”

"And, presumably, deleting.

"Mills has a long track record of hiding Clinton documents." . . .
