America needs a less corrupt media.

The best example of one insight from this piece is Chris Wallace at midnight saying "You know, I forgot to ask Hillary if SHE would accept the election results."

Yup, you did....something I noted during the debate.

And I think Wallace was trying to be, and was, extremely fair.

//Journalists increasingly don’t even believe in the possibility of reasoned disagreement, and as such ascribe cynical motives to those who think about things a different way. We see this in the ongoing veneration of “facts,” the ones peddled by explainer websites and data journalists who believe themselves to be curiously post-ideological.

That the explainers and data journalists so frequently get things hilariously wrong never invites the soul-searching you’d think it would. Instead, it all just somehow leads us to more smugness, more meanness, more certainty from the reporters and pundits. Faced with defeat, we retreat further into our bubble, assumptions left unchecked. No, it’s the voters who are wrong.

As a direct result, we get it wrong with greater frequency. Out on the road, we forget to ask the right questions. We can’t even imagine the right question. We go into assignments too certain that what we find will serve to justify our biases. The public’s estimation of the press declines even further -- fewer than one-in-three Americans trust the press, per Gallup -- which starts the cycle anew.//

Corrupt Media/Rigged System

Remember how weird it was that George Stephanopoulis asked that off the wall question about contraception in the first debate in 2012...

...and how contraception turned into a major theme in the 2012 election.

Why, it was almost as if George was being used to set up the Obama run!!!

On an unrelated note, the journalist "moderator" in 2016 asked Clinton's campaign manager what questions he should ask Jeb.

Out - Journalists protect the public's right to know.

In - Journalists are concerned that too much of the wrong information before an election is unfair to Hillary.

And that answers that question.

The question was, what would it take for Journalists to become critical of leaking to the press?

They never had a problem when it was Bush that was targeted.

But, now, officially, leaking is bad and leakers - formerly called "whistle-blowers" - must be fired.

Thank you, David Gergen.

Remember when that guy was supposed to be the "conservative" voice on Point-Counterpoint?

The Clintons Corrupt Everything.

Is there nothing more revolting than a journalist arguing against the public's right to know?

But that is what pathetic hack leftist reporters are reduced to when it is time to bail out a Clinton.

On November 8, let's all step in to protect the dignity of reporters from themselves by voting for Trump.

Because we know they will never make this argument on behalf of President Trump.

The Clintons Corrupt Everything.

Hillary was fed questions before Meet the Press.

Makes you wonder why she wouldn't be given the questions before the debates.

Although, to be fair, when you factor in the soft-ball approach to her talking points, anyone could write the most likely questions without help.

The Clintons Corrupt Everything.

Surprise!!!

Those unusually precocious and concerned children who ask amazingly insightful pro-Democrat questions are scripted.

The Clintons Corrupt Everything.

I can't help but think that if an elderly Republican with a propensity to fall down and forget important things did this, it would be a big deal.

Clinton Campaign scripts questions for Hillary.

It is not like you could get to know the authentic Hillary if she didn't script the questions Steve Harvey asked her.

Lester Holt makes sure that he will still be invited to the right parties.

From the Wall Street Journal:

//We told you Tuesday that Donald Trump was right when he pushed back on debate moderator Lester Holt over “stop and frisk” policing. But the story deserves a more complete explanation, not least because the media are distorting the record.

Mr. Trump invoked stop and frisk as a way to “take the gun away from criminals” in high-crime areas and protect the innocent. That provoked Mr. Holt, who said that “stop and frisk was ruled unconstitutional in New York.” Mr. Trump then noted that the ruling in the case came from a “very against police judge” who later had the case taken away from her. Mrs. Clinton then echoed Mr. Holt.

Here’s what really happened. The federal judge in the stop-and-frisk case was Shira Scheindlin, a notorious police critic whose behavior got her taken off the case by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. The appellate court put it this way:

“Upon review of the record in these cases, we conclude that the District Judge ran afoul of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges . . . and that the appearance of impartiality surrounding this litigation was compromised by the District Judge’s improper application of the Court’s ‘related case rule’ . . . and by a series of media interviews and public statements purporting to respond publicly to criticism of the District Court.”

The court then remanded the case to another judge who would not present an appearance of bias against the police. In a follow-up opinion, the appellate judges cited a New Yorker interview with Judge Scheindlin that included a quote from a former law clerk saying “what you have to remember about the judge is that she thinks cops lie.”

This is an extraordinary rebuke by a higher court and raises doubts that the merits of her ruling would have held up on appeal. As Rudolph Giuliani makes clear nearby, the judge’s ruling of unconstitutionality applied only to stop and frisk as it was practiced in New York at the time. Such police search tactics have long been upheld by higher courts.

In the end, the clock ran out on Mayor Mike Bloomberg, and new Mayor Bill de Blasio chose not to appeal. We rate Mr. Trump’s claim true and unfairly second-guessed by a moderator who didn’t give the viewing public all the facts.//

Falling down on the job as a media watchdog...

...excelling as a Hillary operative at CNN.
