LOL - Hillary and NPT's Brooks Brothers Audience

From DailyKos: This reminder on Gwen Ifill, who seems to be a hot topic this morning, along with other blasts from the past that emerged from the debate.

The first part about the debate was IMO spot on, we know what get's us going but I found this part extremely interesting. Nothing would surprise me anymore........read the original email sent if you can....

Gwen Ifill once hosted a big show on whether the TV media was negligent in it’s coverage of the selling of the Iraq war.

But guess what the verdict was? That’s right, according to Gwen and Company, the TV news media did a fine job of covering the lies that lead to the passage of the vote that started the Iraq war.

I remember it well. It was one big, bizarre, ass kiss to CNN, MSNBC, ABC and CBS.

So I almost opted out of the debate tonight. I figured they would try and fuck Bernie Sanders in ways the other networks would never attempt, under the cover of liberalism, but even I was surprised at how blatantly they did it. Not only was the audience rigged, with most like a bunch of part operatives from who knows where, but it struck me that some of Hillary’s answers flowed so quickly and seamlessly from the question, that I suspect she had them up front.

(the three women they had during the break) getting the questions beforehand is not unlikely.
