What happens when major primary candidate accuses another of "having killed hundreds of thousands"?

[center]BREAKING NEWS: MSM IGNORES TRUMP![/center]

Now, one would think that when one major primary candidate accuses another major primary candidate of being responsible for "kill(ing) hundreds of thousands of people with her stupidity," the msm biggies like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, et.al., would take notice within the first few hours let alone into the second day:

Wallace interviews Trump on Fox (at approx.10 minutes 30 seconds):

Well, let's see about Fox News itself; nope: https://www.google.com/search?q=donald+trump+hillary+clinton+%22Killed+Hundreds+of+Thousands%22+site:foxnews.com&gbv=1&prmd=ivns&source=lnms&tbm=nws

CNN... nope: https://www.google.com/search?q=donald+trump+hillary+clinton+%22Killed+Hundreds+of+Thousands%22+site:cnn.com&gbv=1&prmd=ivns&source=lnms&tbm=nws

MSNBC... nope: https://www.google.com/search?q=donald+trump+hillary+clinton+%22Killed+Hundreds+of+Thousands%22+site:msnbc.com&gbv=1&prmd=ivns&source=lnms&tbm=nws

Etc., etc. You get the idea.

In addition to Andrew Tyndall's recent analytic presentation of the network msm "Big Three" blackout of Sanders http://tyndallreport.com, we're now faced with a prima facie case that the online msm is wholly capable of ignoring Trump (at least when it comes to overt criticism of the Secretary's hawkishness).

Well, back to the Muslims, and Mexicans, and the mic of General Electric...

p.s. Trump's contention is consistent with analyses of Libya and Syria such as:

Hillary’s war: How conviction replaced skepticism in Libya intervention https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/hillarys-war-how-conviction-replaced-skepticism-in-libya-intervention/2011/10/28/gIQAhGS7WM_story.html

The Left Ought to Worry About Hillary Clinton, Hawk and Militarist, in 2016 http://www.thenation.com/article/left-ought-worry-about-hillary-clinton-hawk-and-militarist-2016/

Now the truth emerges: how the US fuelled the rise of Isis in Syria and Iraq http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/03/us-isis-syria-iraq?CMP=share_btn_fb

Hillary Clinton's Libya war push armed Benghazi rebels with suspected al Qaeda ties http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/feb/1/hillary-clinton-libya-war-push-armed-benghazi-rebe/

U.S. Backed “Moderate Rebels” Behead Captured Syrian Soldiers and Threaten Minority Groups http://www.globalresearch.ca/u-s-backed-moderate-rebels-behead-captured-syrian-soldiers-and-threaten-minority-groups/5484616

Ignoring U.S. Destabilization of Libya, GOP Benghazi Hearing Asks Clinton All the Wrong Questions http://www.democracynow.org/2015/10/23/ignoring_us_destabilization_of_libya_gop

And remember, when the plane flew these survivors out of Benghazi to get them back to Tripoli, for every State Department official on that plane, there were five or six CIA employees. And my sources tell me that the CIA was there to buy back weapons that we had given to Gaddafi in the first place. So the question all of this begs—and this is where Hillary Clinton’s remarks did concern me—is that we created a disaster in Libya. It was the decision to conduct regime change, the decision to go after Gaddafi, which eventually led to his death. And remember, Hillary Clinton welcomed that news with the words "We came, we saw, he died."

Now, there is a link to what Putin is doing in Syria, because, remember, we had to tell the Russians that we had very limited objectives, a very limited mission in Benghazi, so that they would not veto the U.N. resolution. And then, essentially, Putin finds out that our mission really was to go after Gaddafi, creating this instability, this discontinuity, this chaos in Libya.

are we.

Taking advantage of our primary season to attack Hillary.

All those long OP's are very much alike.

All put together similarly.

I'm unsure of other OPs you may be referring to: regarding the instant, respectfully request noting the inherent invalidity(ies).

Thank you.

for corporate america to completely control mass media and to use it as an extremely effective mechanism for persuading the population to do everything from buy reams of shit they don't need to voting for candidates that serve the interests of the 0.1%. It is the medicaid scooters at the teabag rally conundrum.

to say that Clinton's policies were as pure as driven snow (since any bad news for a Dem candidate will "get a Republican elected" as the opinion-massagers say)

but we resist any such reaction and go right to the news stories--in fact we even have the centrists on record cheerleading for Libya and Syria: they were so PROUD of their bloodlust and fantasy wars back then: what happened?

She DID vote for the IWR, started wars in Syria and Libya. Guess what? Wars kill people! That's why you avoid them.
