9. A truly admirable charity contradicts their Bad Hillary theme.

Simple as that. As attention shifts to the Clinton Foundation, the MSM has a serious "optics" problem of its own, which threatens to expose their chicanery.

It's very important for them to keep perceptions of Bad Hillary separate from anything good. THAT's why breaking the Clinton Foundatino up entirely, spinning off pieces to dozens of other charities has such appeal to them, regardless of how many it would hurt.

Failing that, someone has even suggested renaming it the Eisenhower-Kennedy Foundation in major media. Nicely bi-partisan, and how...something of them to come up with that without even consulting the Bad Clintons. But why should they when they already have it separate from them in their minds?

She offers the most bizarre ad-lib commentary during interviews.

I've never heard such bullshit. Meanwhile ALEX and the Koch brothers own ReTHUGs at all levels.

The emails went nowhere, Benghazi is played out...

Now all they can do is make up stuff. Republicans sure as hell can't say anything good about Trump.

6. Actually, I am sick of MSNBC period. This media bs about the Clinton Foundation is simply that, bs.

The AP story was totally a crock, actually lies. If there was ever a media war on someone it is the media & especially the AP's war on the Clintons.

There has been no evidence of wrongdoing, just speculation & the media constantly talking about appearances.

Where is the media on Trump & his huge debt to the Bank of China?
Where is Trump & his fraud at Trump University?
Where is the investigation of all of those small businesses, contractors, sub-contractors & others he stiffed & did not pay including the workers in his casinos along with those he conned into investing into his business?
Where is the investigation of his strong connection to Russia & with Putin himself?

I mean there clearly is evidence of a lot of wrongdoing with Trump but the media is obsessed about the Clinton Foundation.

Trump brought in the Brexit guy from the Independence Party in the UK for his rallies. Where is the media on a leader from another country campaigning for Trump? Maybe the Clintons need to bring in all of the foreign leaders to talk about all the good & the lives that have been saved due to the Clinton Foundation.

Trump's family will run Trump Inc. while actively campaigning (and likely holding some position in the White House) but that gets a big meh by the media.

I mean Bush's family was part of a group that actively did business and no one cares. Charity the media gets up in arms, oil, (whatever Trump's actual business as scamming seems to be their actual business model) and arms industry, not a *ing peep. The news is so fake.
