"Like the Beatles said: Hate is all you need." . . . Please come CAPTION Steve Doocy!!!




Steve ("I was a reporter for my high school newspaper. They gave me the bathroom beat.&quot Doocy is saying: "Who cares about the quality of the newspaper, or that this story is entirely based on speculation and interviews with discredited sources, if this is true, Hillary's toast!&quot



****************************************


Above CAPTION based on the following Media Matters piece with a lovely compilation of transcripts playing all the scales of outrage and hyperbole:

that it gets repeated. Before long the MSM will be showing it -- allegedly to discredit it -- instead of just ignoring it. They won't be able to help themselves.

It is probably a trump maneuver to deflect attention from his very bad week. And once in a while, the Enquirer gets it right.

On edit: By showing it and discussing it here, we are probably contributing to its dissemination.

And now we can be on the alert for the MSM covering this. In fact, yesterday I heard someone shout a question to Bill Clinton about the CGI at some event. After seeing this, it puts it into context. With him out on the campaign trail, I expect more CGI scrutiny.

It is kind of a risk for the Clinton campaign to put him out there, although they think he is the one who can relate to the "working class". Anyhow, I bet trump is behind the mud-slinging. Bring out the shovels, hoses and boots.... we are going to need them!
