Media fear FBI bombshell will hand election to Trump
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/2/16 | Eddie Scarry

Posted on 11/02/2016 5:29:02 AM PDT by detective

Major U.S. media outlets have sided with Hillary Clinton by arguing that FBI Director James Comey was wrong to tell Congress — and by extension, millions of voters — that he is revisiting the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private emails, and are worried that the surprise announcement runs the risk of unfairly throwing the election to Donald Trump.

Comey's letter came out Friday, months after he said Clinton was "extremely careless" in her handling of government information during her tenure at the State Department. His revelation that new emails were located on devices belonging to Clinton's aide Huma Abedin and her husband, disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner, rocked the Democratic nominee's campaign and reinvigorated Republicans hopeful to win back the White House, though Comey did not reveal anything about the contents of the emails.

"The Washington Post editorial board said Monday night that "no one should be happy that the outcome of a U.S. presidential election could be affected, if not determined, by a cryptic letter from the FBI director released 11 days before the vote. But that is our unfortunate situation." The editorial continued, "What about Mr. Comey himself? Is there anything he can do to mitigate the harm that has been caused?""

The slime stream media can’t stand it. Best news I’ve heard in a long time.

An objective media would not “fear” any outcome in either direction.

But the Democrat-controlled media certainly fears that their career as insiders and propagandists will suffer if Clinton doesn’t make it to the White House. The Demedia fears that very much.

They had no trouble with Comey “clearing” Clinton in an unprecedented move a couple of months ago!

They are despicable.

Media irritated that they worked tirelessly for Hillary for the past 6 months and her stupid lawlessness is making it all a big waste of time.

“hand election to Trump”
The public has seen how corrupt hillary is. They will vote accordingly.
As for the post, it is useless.

In other words, lots of hand-wringing over how the media’s non-stop collective effort to destroy Trump’s campaign with lots of unsubstantiated sordid allegations, carefully crafted headlines, story planting, and collusion with the Clinton campaign are failing in the face of all the negatives about Hillary they’ve buried as deep as they can.

Or, another view... The dems have hitched their election wagon to an extremely damaged horse, hoping it would pull them to where they wanted to be without collapsing. Really, she should have went down long before this, but if she goes down even a day before the election, who’s fault is it, in the end?

CNN this morning showed a clip of DJT in Pennsylvania yesterday talking about the Affordable Care Act. He said to the crowd: “The first thing I’m going to do is call for a special session of Congress so we can repeal and replace Obamacare.”

The female dog anchor smugly said: “Congress will already be in session, but I guess his supporters don’t care if Trump doesn’t know anything about the 3 branches of government.” Such open contempt for those Deplorables.

We’ve already had a bombshell with the FBI re-opening its investigation. That alone is sinking her BIGLY.

translation: The internals in all of their polls indicate that she is cratering and that Trump is going to win.

Ergo they are not setting a template for the claim that they got schlonged by the FBI.

They need to have a bloody shirt to wave for the next four years in order to keep the troops fired-up.

If you thought Dems were nuts after FloriDUH 2000 you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.

The Democrats perfected the “OCTOBER SURPRISE” to the point it is no longer a surprise but an expected tactic used by them against their opponent.

Now they call foul.

Hypocrisy thy name is Democrat (and mainstream media, but I repeat myself).

They don’t fear the election of the most corrupt person ever to run for president? Owners, editors and editorial boards may be extremely misguided but they aren’t idiots. They know this woman (and her organization) is as corrupt as it gets.

But they do fear that the corruption may be exposed in a way they can’t cover up.

The press wants a monopoly on "speculation disguised as reporting."
