TV Pundits Fail to Disclose Their Work For Clinton Campaign:

[amborin]

Several consultants who work at firms retained by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and her affiliated Super PACs appear regularly on the major television networks, frequently touting Clinton.

Stephanie Cutter, for example, has appeared on multiple networks to discuss Clinton, and is typically introduced as a former campaign official for President Barack Obama. What hasn’t been disclosed in any of her appearances reviewed by The Intercept, however, is that the boutique consulting firm she co-founded, Precision Strategies, has been retained by the Clinton campaign for “digital consulting,” according to Federal Election Commission records. Precision Strategies has been paid at least $120,049 from the Clinton campaign since June of last year.

Maria Cardona, a CNN contributor, has appeared on a regular basis over the course the presidential campaign as a reliable voice in support of Clinton. She is also a longtime partner at the Dewey Square Group, a lobbying firm with extensive ties to the Clinton campaign: Two Dewey Square partners serve as fundraisers for the Clinton campaign, each raising at least $100,000; both pro-Clinton Super PACs — Priorities USA Action and Correct the Record — have paid Dewey Square for consulting services during this election; and the co-founding partner of Dewey Square now serves as the chief administrative officer of the Clinton campaign. Notably, Cardona, a DNC “super-delegate” who pledged support for Clinton last year, before any of the primary elections, also contributed the maximum donation to Clinton’s campaign.

Hari Sevugan is a principal at 270 Strategies, which was co-founded by Lynda Tran, a CBS News political contributor. 270 Strategies boasts on the homepage of its website of its extensive work for the Clinton campaign. “270 Strategies worked with the Ready for Hillary team to develop their organizing approach and provided guidance on their volunteer engagement program,” the website notes, detailing work on behalf of a pro-Clinton Super PAC that later folded into the larger Clinton campaign. FEC records show that Ready for Hillary paid 270 Strategies $301,621 for consulting work, and later, the Hillary for America campaign paid the firm at least $75,200.

1. Figures. Kind of like after Saturday comes before Sunday.

[Octafish]

2. Insidious.

What you see on tee vee appears one way, but is really another.

[peacebird]

3. Paul Starr was on NPR OnPoint today tearing down Sanders. Never once mentioned he had been

A senior advisor for Pres Clinton in 1993. I am sure there was no Clinton bias there. None at all. Zero. Nada. Zilch.

Just like there was no disclosure that he had been a senior advisor to Bill Clinton.

7. Remember back in the good ole days when NPR was completely neutral?

No political leanings whatsoever? Just news and other trending stories.

Those were the days.

[peacebird]

13. Sadly I do remember. i miss that. NPR used to be top notch journalism.

[The Wielding Truth]

14. Yes. It was horrible during the Bush Jr. Years and it really never recovered.

[jillan]

4. Not to mention execs at Comcast which owns NBC/MSNBC holds fundraisers for Hillary.

One last year and another coming up soon.

[CorporatistNation]

5. THIS Is A Surprise?

[99th_Monkey]

6. Mole Hillarys abound on M$M. n/t

[mariawr]

8. Feels like "They Live". nt

[democrank]

9. Same old, same old, same old.

Establishment influence in overdrive.

That`s one reason Bernie is so refreshing.

10. Well then, let's do it for them! Send the article and info out to Social Media. Peope have a right

full disclosure of these facts. Thanks for the info! Not that I ever trust ANYONE on the Corp Media, they will naturally go with the Corp Candidates.

[hifiguy]

11. Big surprise.

I hope the ghosts of Cronkite, Murrow, Chancellor and Brinkley haunt these cheap shills to the end of their days.

[GoneFishin]

12. Once they subscribe to dishonesty in the the name of "business", "politics", or "strategy" or

whatever other excuse they tell themselves, their ethics just go right out of the fucking window.

[delrem]

15. You'd better believe the dark money is flowing in this primary.

The floodgates were released, and some of those "pundits" and "experts" don't come cheap.

And since there's no way to know, to prove it - except maybe in time a sliver of the truth might come out years or decades from now - it's best to keep our eyes on the issues, and on what is verifiable as of right now.
