Yawn. No one is interested in the media's scandal-a-day BS about Hillary

Tempest in the beltway media teapot. Minds are not being changed, because most people are tired of the BS, have made up their minds and really don't give a fuck.

The cake is baked at this point. Frankly, it was baked when the third debate ended with another Hillary victory. All the media is doing now is goosing their ratings anyway they can. It's not about new stories or new info. It's about them whipping up interest in the only way they know: stay tuned to see what might happen next!

Really pathetic. Trump is going to lose big. The Rs are going to lose big. But the biggest losers this year are the media outlets who have managed to cause all sides of the political equation to entirely lose any trust they had in the media before this election cycle.

all along. But they have had some success in selling it. I am scared that they will have more success with today's dishonest garbage.

1. Friday news dump - never the time to release an actual bombshell

2. World Series

3. Football

4. Halloween

Americans are preoccupied with better things to do than to worry about our disfunctional media's latest BS.

From the early voting it looks like about 9% have already voted. I can't imagine many people really are left and we do have the fact that Trump is the opponent. I really hope you are right about all the distractions. Anything "email" related may be met with glossed over eyes anyway.

If anything it'll scare the crap out of people and remind them why this election is so damn important.
