like they admitted doing during the bush years. Maybe they getting koch money, now.

I find this phenomenon analogous to sportswriting in today's 24-hour news cycle/electronic media environment: basically, it's about filling air time and column inches, period. It is an embarrassment to the profession of political journalism. Also, there is this: Lazy, like water, seeks the lowest level.

the identities of 14,000 Floridians when he revealed all their personal information, can't have that though, because that would require work. I think it could be a bit more than just laziness, because all the networks, and the cable news use the exact same words and phrases, in the same order, as if they are all reading the same script.

Because *cough* they are *cough* reading from the same *cough* script. Provided, of course, by the same script writers...

I think on this email crap, as long as Hillary was being truthful in the explanations she gave today at her press conference, especially her emphatic statement that no classified materials were being privately held on President Clinton's server - and there's certainly no reason at present to suggest otherwise - she should survive this kerfuffle easily. It'll then be remembered as just another "tempest in a teapot."

There's SO much more to rightfully criticize when it comes to Hillary regarding real issues. So maybe, for some here who are ardent Hillary supporters, they actually should be somewhat happy with this journalist-created story to the extent it distracts from those issues.

idk, just a thought.

I am not a Clinton supporter but this email story is just lame.

Which is itself an oxymoron as so little of it is actually real, but the MSM has figured this out and is fully engaged in "entertaining" the masses. Facts, importance, and reality be damned.

"We don't want to pay the writers."

"reality" tv is total bullshit

Probably at around 10,000 rpm by now.

SERIOUSLY

Thank you, Skittles.

Thank You.

Sometimes, they have to use mind control techniques.
Prepare for daily treatments for the next 508 days.

What happened to objectivity and unbiased reporting? Did it just almost completely become a web format only? New kind of HTML code?

Trumping up faux outrage over fake scandals. And the Clinton's are pretty much the nexus of it all. And that's why the Clinton's are fireproof, the American public will tire of this shit in due course. In the meantime we'll enjoy the tabloid near celebrity type nonsense that it generates.

And actually a rather big deal.

Yet another self-inflicted wound
due to horrible judgement.

After all the previous scandals with Clinton
anyone who thinks her email indiscretions
was just an ooopsie, is ignoring the elephant
in the room

How could she NOT KNOW this would
become yet another scandal?

communications, which actually belong to you and me. She's fighting for Hillary Clinton, which is the only person you'll ever see her really fight for.

Why yes, you were! You said she "has a sad" and was "disinterested in following the law" (ooops, that was a big fail-wrong) and then you went back into her past in an attempt to smear her with ancient history and "guilt by association" innuendo of the worst sort.

And right here on DU, too:

P.S. Iraq War Vote, PATRIOT Act, Keystone XL, Wall Street...still waiting for the justification.

Keep swinging, MADem. You're nothing if not persistent.

I'm not swinging--I'm hitting the bullseye. I can tell by your reaction.

Still waiting.

Why not give us some of your trademark "argle bargle" while you're at it?

IWR: = "Yes" vote

Patriot Act: "Yes" vote

Etc.

Insinuation? Association?

Black-ink legislation.

You are really shameless. It's a strength...and an indelible stain.

...and I forgot my first rule: don't feed the ___________.

Oh wait--she has. But that doesn't fit your narrative, so you gloss over it.

Your remarks are as rigid as someone saying "Can't trust Betsy Warren--she was a REPUBLICAN in 1996!!! She loved Saint Ronnie's approach to markets--never minded his views on AIDS, women, "Welfare Queens," and so forth...!"

See how absurd THAT sounds?

You have the moxie to call me shameless? For pointing out YOUR OWN WORDS, too?

No one is more shameless than you, Will. I'm a rank amateur compared to your prodigious talents on that score.

FWIW, calling me a troll isn't cool, either. I've never been PPR'd and reinstated from this forum--can you say the same? Just because you don't fill in the blank on your little

...and I forgot my first rule: don't feed the ___________.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Most definitely the bullseye!

You contributed to this spectacle. And continue to do so with the petulant repetition.

Fucking rich.

Yeah, it was me.

Of course, I'm using the GERMAN definition of "gift."

It certainly does have that effect on this board...!

the bastion of the "liberal" media, the NYT got Whitewater started, hid Bush's illegal wiretapping through the 2004 election, and now this.

It's really about being the fan I'm not at all or not, but the myth of a liberal media that bugs me. I'm confident that the "clowns" will prove me right.

with the help of the American Standard. The NYT definitely picked up the baton, tho.

Right, neither do most of us. It was a phrase coined by Fox and Frauds to refer to a bunch of scandals that weren't. They evaporated when the Republicans, Fox Noise and National Hate Radio (pardon my redundancy) decided that the horse they had been kicking was really dead.

In the meantime, 47 Republicans Senators send a letter to the Iranian Ayatollahs in an effort to usurp the President's ability to conduct foreign policy. Now just what do you think the Republicans' reaction would have been if Tom Daschle had been trying to conduct discussions with Saddam Hussein behind Cheney's back? The only subject of discussion to which they would have been open would have been whether to put the Democratic Senators responsible in front of a firing squad or pack them in a gas chamber.

On a lighter note, the kind of note we all need every now and then, Andy Borowitz heard that North Korea's Kim Jong Un is furious with the 47 Senators for not sending HIM a letter.

the mess of the Iran letter.

Somewhere around between the JFK assassination and Ford pardoning Nixon.

CAN tell it's not butter

... and it's going to get worse as each day passes. And when she's elected, the wingers will have another one of those back-of-the-dining-room meetings. They'll just make the same pledge as they made on how to "not" deal with PO. And there will be 8 years of it. And the M$M will follow right along, booking their wingers for the Sunday morning shows, asking the wingers questions for them.

Yes the MSM was lazy in their salacious reporting, so much so I completely gave him a pass for his reckless behavior. I'm not going to get sucked into the vortex again. Hillary is in this pickle because of her reckless behavior in defying protocol. Yes the MSM is acting the fool again, but I'm not giving another Clinton another pass for a shitstorm they brought on themself.

you have 3 minutes of material and an hour to fill .
