Hillary Exonerated on Emails

[_Icarus]

But this hardly breaks the news cycle which is more focused on whether or not she called Gabbard a spy.

But her emails.

[_DarkHelmet]

It won't stop Trump from promising his followers that if he is re-elected, he will lock her up. Then the crowd will start chanting "lock her up" "lock her up." These aren't the brightest people.

Meh. They probably will still believe she belongs in prison, but the lock her up chant has a high likelihood of instead being aimed at whomever Trump is running against. Biden. Warren. Any Democrat.

Now that America is great, won't he just go ahead and throw his opponent in jail rather than lead a chant about it?

The NYT promoted the story for weeks on end in 2016. One edition had three front page stories on “her emails.” But her exoneration was buried on page 26 or something. And conservatives wonder why we laugh when they complain about the “liberal media.”

Toobin regrets and NY Times does not put exoneration on front page

https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/2 ... ils-053484

FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver has written that the news media bears some responsibility for the result of the 2016 election given its handling of Comey’s letter about reopening the Clinton email investigation, which polls suggest may have tipped the election.

The Times, in particular, has faced scrutiny for its front-page treatment of Clinton email stories in the final months of the election, including after the Comey letter, and so it’s handling of the State Department having concluded its yearslong investigation didn’t go unnoticed.

“For months, @nytimes put stories of Hillary Clinton’s email on its front pages,” Ploughshares Fund President Joe Cirincione tweeted Saturday. “The final investigative report clearing all of wrongdoing? That is on page 16 today.”

The Times’ Amy Chozick, who covered Clinton in 2016, wrote last year how she “became an unwitting agent of Russian intelligence” in covering the hacked Democratic National Committee and John Podesta emails, though editors have largely defended covering those emails because they were released publicly and deemed newsworthy.

Toobin has spoken before about contributing to false equivalency and made clear his comments Monday were only about his own coverage, not that of the media writ large. But he suggested more broadly that journalists, who can be “the most thin-skinned people about criticism,” are well-served by self-reflection.

“We dish it out,” he said. “We should take it.”

Blame Comey

The chant part is a near certainty. Distinctly possible is federal law enforcement is going to be investigating said Democrat opponent with some chance the media rolls with it as a scandal because dear lord American media is in a bad way. Somewhere beneath that in the realm of not impossible, but still fairly unlikely, is that person gets jailed.

Perhaps it’s good that such is not illegal, or we might have to start jailing the incompetent buffoons who manage to bankrupt casinos.
