exboyfil's JournalExplanation for the CBS reporter showing handcuffs while talking about the polls in North Carolina
You are going to love this.
Our story was not about - and made no reference to - any investigation, criminality or possible prosecution of either Presidential candidate. It was a story about the neck and neck closeness of the candidates in current polling - the prop meant to denote the discomfort of these bitter rivals locked side by side in the polls. We should have better explained, more so, used a better prop. We regret the confusion.

Exclusive: Thousands of churches will broadcast this last-minute appeal from Mike Pence on Sunday
http://www.theblaze.com/news/2016/11/04/exclusive-thousands-of-churches-will-broadcast-this-last-minute-appeal-from-mike-pence-on-sunday?utm_content=buffer2919c&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=bufferAccording to the IRS, in order to remain tax exempt under section 501(c)(3), leaders cannot make partisan comments in official organization publications or at official functions of the organization.
The Republican ticket and the churches that play the video appear to be safe from any threat of losing their tax status, though, as long as the church itself does not endorse the comments made by Pence. Based on the tax code, it seems the video falls under a provision for providing a forum for the candidates which is not, in and of itself, prohibited political activity.
On face value, the video doesnt even violate the summary of the law from the Freedom from Religion Foundation, an advocacy group against church political activity, which agues churches cannot actively campaign for any candidate.
Game of Thrones author backs Clinton and explains how her attack ads are different
http://www.denofgeek.com/us/culture/george-rr-martin/259813/george-rr-martin-donald-trump-is-unfit-to-be-presidentSays Martin, In my lifetime, there has never been a presidential candidate more unfit to lead this nation. To emphasize the point, Martin compares the relentless attack ads of both candidates, noting how Trump campaign commercials are standard political hackery 101. Unflattering images (often black and white), ominous music, headlines taken out of context, and a grim narrator throwing around words like criminal, liar, and pervert (the latter being a classic example of the new gutter of American politics that the Republican nominee has dragged us into in 2016).
But Martin notes that Hillary Clintons attack ads on Trump are strikingly different.
Clintons ads are something else, writes Martin. Very different, andto my mindmuch more truthful. The star of all the Clinton ads is Donald J. Trump. There are no deliberately unflattering photographs, however. Nothing in black and white. Just video clips, full color, professional footage from news cameras at his rallies, interviews, television appearances. Theres no name-calling either. Clinton doesnt need to label Trump as crooked or a liar, or link him with perverts. Clintons ads just show Trump being Trump.
