Remember the discussions of “optics” and trying to manufacture the perception of support for Hillary Clinton? It’s all a pretense; a fraud; a corporate media ruse.
Well, a great example comes today from “The Hill”, an on-line media outlet promoting the speech of candidate Clinton. Notice anything, well, ‘odd’ about the picture:
It’s a 100% photoshopped image (link) assembling multiple rally crowd pictures to give the impression of Hillary Clinton in St. Petersburg.
Hillary is holding a rally at the St. Pete Colliseum in down town St. Petersburg. Located at 353 4th Ave North, the Coliseum venue holds approximately 4,000 people. Hillary Clinton didn’t come close to filling it:
A couple of hundred people showed up [door count puts the number at 171] within a St. Petersburg venue capable of holding in excess of 4,000 without seating (link).
But the media,… well, in the land of make believe, they just can’t help but manufacture the optics because the same media are selling an entirely different story with their polling:

With a dose of fairness I must remark that the weather in St Pete today was absolutely rotten. Big rain all damn day. That said Downtown St Pete is Bernie land. I predicted this morning the turnout would be in the 200 range.
Ed Henry did a live report from the venue and it looked to be about fifty people...total.
I am volunteering tomorrow at the Trump event in wilmington, NC, I am very interested how it goes.
“The contrast between her suit and the crowd suggests a halo or circle of light around her.
Reminiscent of religious paintings”
Actually. . .
“The contrast between HIS suit and the crowd suggests a halo or circle of light around HIM.
Reminiscent of The Messiah (Obummer) media coverage.
Those pics are not mine and look at the 3rd pic down. That’s about the size of the crowd that TreeHouse Sandance and others are saying. A 171 head count that went to see Hillary.
You can go to the link where the article has a short video that pans the crowd.
Yeah. Right away.
And it's hilarious!
Hillary has her back to the total audience and her minders blew it.
She had an "episode," and was totally dazed and confused.
Her minders neglected to turn her 180 degrees...
The toughest part was getting her to stop shrieking long enough to...
Did you even bother to read the article?
LoL.
“Unless we do something, face this media head on,. . .”
Like Trump.
Can you shop Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band into that pic?
Ha, sign on van seems to say....”I’m Wither.” Hillary Rotten is “withering” before our eyes.
“I dont understand how someone who pulls in small crowds like this can be ahead in the polls over a guy who fills stadiums. I really hope all these crowds who are showing up at these Trump rallys don’t punk out on election day and stay home.”
What if Dems don’t attend her rallys because they’re not enthused, but will vote for her anyway?
I’m betting on our MONSTER VOTE (a large turnout from people who never vote)
You stand almost alone. Read the Twitter feed! LOL
Hillary is awaiting you for her next big rally.
That looks like Andrew Cuomo to the left and down a little. And I finally found Waldo.
If it were Trump supporters, they’d weather any weather. But, since it’s St. Petey, Pravda reading communists, they won’t show. But, thanks for your (sorry) attempt for “fairness”
At the very least, wander into the Hillary speech live feeds. I went into one today - the chat was overwhelmingly anti Hillary (it was a pro-Hillary YT site) There were around 800 people in there watching it, I bet well over half were watching to see if she short circuited again.
Be Pro-Trump or switch it up and go Berner and be Pro-Jill Stein - it's fun :>)
Sign up for a youtube account and start live chatting in the Hildabeast dens.
When you see the media doing stuff THIS BLATANT, it becomes more difficult to have sympathy for executed reporters who likely tried the same stunts overseas.
