Trump is an alleged child rapist, but the media is ignoring that story.

Trump has strong & suspicious ties to Russia, but the media is ignoring that story.


The OP is asking us to imagine how the media would treat Clinton if she'd been implicated in either story. Certainly they wouldn't ignore it; we'd be hearing about nothing else 24/7.

his stories on DU, Wilms. Not surprised at all.

Edited to add: to avoid confusion, the link in the post I'm replying to leads to an article from a Republican journalist at the WSJ, James Freeman.


A collection of James Freeman articles with the WSJ:

"Doesn't Clinton Embarrass Democrats? (In polite media society only Republicans are supposed to feel bad
about their candidate.
)"

"Should Sanders and Warren Run the Senate? (Plus, a nationwide state taxathon.)

"The Double Standard that Saved Hillary" (Plus, the tide of war isn’t receding as Obama prepares to leave office.)

But McClatchy is on it. And there are some gmail that aren't fun to read.

Podesta stepped down from Joule’s board on Jan. 4, 2014, when he joined the Obama administration. A leaked email shows he transferred his Joule shares to Leonidio Holdings LLC, a company formed in Delaware – a state favored by Trump, whose own disclosure forms list 378 companies there. Delaware’s laws allow the true owners and other company details to remain secret. The private correspondence between Podesta and Joule executives includes a Dublin, California, address for Leonidio Holdings that is also the address of his daughter Megan Rouse, who is a certified financial planner.

snip

In his White House disclosure records, signed in February 2014, Podesta reported owning less than $1,000 in stock and options for Joule Global Holdings and for Joule Unlimited Technologies Inc. and deriving less than $201 in income from them. He did not make any mention of Leonidio Holdings, the Delaware company, which the WikiLeaks emails suggest received 75,000 transferred shares.

e-mails have been tampered with. That said, Podesta is NOT running for president.

Trump, on the other hand, made hundreds of millions of dollars on Russian oligarchs, and he's being all kissy-kissy with Putin, never saying a real nasty thing about his Russian owner - and Trump IS running for president.

But thanks for the false equivalency, Wilms Again, not surprised you took this route, though.

What else; " false equivalency". You mean where you point out Trump profiteering? Lay all that out, but not as an "everybody does it" thing.

There ought to be ZERO surprise with the route I take. There's a consistency in my posts. Yes.

Excellent idea. If Hillary is accused of doing it maybe it will get noticed by someone.

But we'll still get to hear the nazis pissing and moaning about the rigged media.

If they thought they won, they wouldn't still be threatening civil war if the vote is rigged against them.

Your o. post helps un-screw reality. Thanks again.
