Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank appears to have asked the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to do the majority of the research for a negative column he wrote about Donald Trump in April 2016.
Milbank’s column was titled, “The Ten Plagues of Trump,” and featured a list of “outrageous things” said by Trump. One of the “plagues” listed by Milbank, for example, was “Blood” and centered around a quote from Trump about Megyn Kelly: “You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”
Internal DNC emails suggest Milbanks asked for — and then leaned heavily on — DNC opposition research on Trump for the article.
The day before Milbank’s article, DNC deputy communications director Eric Walker sent out an email to the DNC’s research team.
In the email — which was titled “research request: top 10 worst Trump quotes?” — Walker wrote, “Milbank doing a Passover-themed 10 plagues of Trump.”
The DNC research team worked together to come up with a list of things Milbank could use that was provided to Walker. (RELATED: Hill’s Shills: Leaks Have Exposed Journalists In Clinton’s Corner)
Of the 10 “plagues” listed by Milbank, eight of them matched up with suggestions from the DNC.
By press time, Milbank had not yet replied to a list of questions from The Daily Caller about his article and whether or not he used DNC research in crafting it.

I hate the RINO and #NeverTrumper
Crooked Washington Post especially their polls.
Is this surprising? Milbank has been the worst kind of leftist ideologue at WaPo.
Thank goodness we were wrong and there was no collusion between the Dems and the media about attacking Trump. /s
How lazy can you get? Do your own research!
Dayenu.
I think you’re thinking of Dana Perino of Fox News.
“How lazy can you get? “

You have nailed it. Not only nasty but lazy.
On another thread CNN says it’s not unusual to ask oppo for questions on the other candidate. MMMMM? Prove it. Show us the email (just one) where CNN asked the Trump campaign for questions to ask HRC.
We need to boycott Amazon this Christmas. The system is rigged and we need an organized effort to combat this corruption. If Hillary wins, how about we sent in our tax returns by mail (if paying).
The Ministry of Propaganda is so busted.
How do you even claim to be a journalist if you can’t write your own pieces and why is there no repercussions for this coming out? I guess it’s all yellow journalism now.
do it either way. Eff the IRS.
Milquetoast Milbank outed as working for the Clintonites!
FINALLY! I've always hated that little worm.
Here's another:

Yes, he did - even though he denied it when confronted on Twitter. :)
Every one of them needs to be caned, or horsewhipped.
