(8,051 posts)one of the shows yesterday and she really let the host have it (but in a classy way). She was saying how so much of what's been blamed on Hillary are out and out lies!
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)covered the trump china/Russia connections? I was sad that she didn't call them on that harder, though, and go after them the way the awful trumpogates do the liberal media, when she had a factual point. the way they hammer away ceaselessly on the CGI and the emails is beyond appalling.....even msnbc is terrible about it during the daytime/afternoon.
she actually APOLOGIZED for trying to drive home the point. can you imagine anybody on the wingnut patrol doing that? need more steel in the spine to deal with the media. the pubs are very good at that, but then, they have NO SHAME, and don't care a singly snotty bit about the truth.

I've been tweeting to various media people:
Re: Hillary "scandals" - how much NOTHING do you need to be shown before you finally come to realize that there's NOTHING?

(81,304 posts)I often find myself sending seven or eight at a time to the hapless Andrea Mitchell. I hope she gets LOTS of shit for being so biased against Hillary. Really disgusted with her "coverage." I don't think she could find a positive thing to say about Hillary Clinton if her life depended on it, much less her job.
on edit - I hope others here, and elsewhere too, will join me! Maybe if these lazy "journalists" start seeing lots of displeasure out there, it might have some impact. Or at least make them a little more sensitive and circumspect about their "reporting."

(5,942 posts)pointing out that the doc's comments about knowing Hillary's physician, knowing her health concerns, and knowing they "aren't good," were in violation of HIPPA (or, more accurately, pure bullshit and in violation of the Goldwater Rule). On Rachel's next show, she said they were inundated by emails from the public pointing this out to them. Inundated? So much for basic journalism, much less investigative journalism. I mean when you have to rely on the public to not only do your work for you, but also hand it to you on a platter, you know we're totally fucked. It is going to take an army of us tweeting our brains out to make even a slight difference. At least they do seem to take note and even respond to us. I guess it could be worse.

where are Gene Lyons and Joe Conason when they need to be heard?
amazing how you almost never see them.
Lyons....never
I saw Conason once, about a month ago, for a few minutes
now, we're going to see David BOSSIE! did you catch that?

(40,212 posts)are so sad. It is sad that so many people are so full of ignorance and hate.
This whole email thing along with the Bengazi craziness has convinced me that Hillary is a victim of right wing misogynistic hate.
It makes me love her more.

(2,897 posts)They've gone above and beyond on this specific case and regardless of their intentions (clearing Clinton/clearing themselves), it's starting to look and feel even more improper than when Comey decided to pontificate during his press conference.
rurallib
(62,418 posts)innuendo comments during the summer. He stepped way past the line that time.
Of course firing him would have riled the right wingers who would have gone nuts even though it should have been done to keep send a message about propriety to all who may come after

(5,942 posts)nature of what he was doing - gag.

(364 posts)in the BS thrown by "lamestream media" is not worthy of a Hillary vote. Let them go. They deserve someone like Trump. If Hillary win and Trump goes down in a landslide, then that would hopefully make the Trumpists go back and hide and slink in shame. If Trump wins, well, I am out of here - Good Luck to America. I only hope it's not someone in between where Hillary wins by 2% of something and makes Trump legitimate. I always knew misogyny existed, but not so much. What do the female journalists (other than Joy and Rachel) think they are doing? Shameful.

(20,219 posts)And I wish we could put up a wall between the two sides.
Let them see the results of their own baboon-butted, flaming red, chapped, malodorous, inflated, attention-seeking, animalistic, sewage-spewing ASSHOLERY.
While we offer our pity, safe amongst the sane people.

(4,423 posts)there is a lot of info in the report that gives the rightwing some talking points. I don't think it was wise for her to use her concussion as an excuse, and there were tons of I cannot recall comments which doesn't come off well when you talk about highly classified and sensitive information for which you are responsible.
you can flame me all you want, but I am being real, not wearing pollyanna rose colored glasses, her polls have gone to shit, and there is no reason she shouldn't be destroying the idiot Trump who has shot himself so many times in this campaign that it ought to really be over, and so the question we have to ask is why isn't over?
A news conference by her might actually be in her best interest right now.

(5,942 posts)The woman had a concussion and a freaking brain clot and when she returned to work, she was only allowed to put in a couple of hours a day, but God forbid she should bring this up? WTF?
And, "sadly," even a woman as brilliant as Hillary does not have total recall. But I guess since she's a woman, she's also expected to have hyperthymesia.
As far as what Hillary is up against, it's not just Trump, she's also battling an entire party that is doing everything they can, even if it's illegal, to bring her down, not to mention a very far reaching and still very powerful media that has either fabricated or given credence to fabrications alleging that she has committed, sanctioned, or was complicit in crimes ranging from unlawful firings to freaking murder, and you can't understand why the public doesn't see through all of this?
If you are sad now, you're going to be crying a river after Labor Day. Did you see Rachel's interview tonight with Dan Rather regarding the hiring of Bossie? This guy is probably the most effective and nastiest hit man Trump could have ever hired. What we've seen up until now has been child's play. The shit is gonna get super real, super fast. You better buckle yourself in.
humbled_opinion
(4,423 posts)Is it becomes fodder for rightwing b.s. but yes the shit is getting real especially seeing how the people are reacting i.e., polls. Which means to me that Hillary needs to go straight to the American people either through press availability or a direct address dealing with all the email issues.

(5,942 posts)There really needs to be some checks & balances in the media. Politifact was good, but it is not black and white enough. And there needs to be an ethics code of sorts. Reporters who make shit up and damage careers need to be held accountable. Not everyone has the resources to launch libel suits.
