#HillaryMen: CENSORSHIP: Corporate Media Bury Major Development in Hillary Email Story (HRC) [View all]
On September 10th, the Washington Times broke a crucial positive development in the over-hyped Hillary Clinton email story...A day later, BuzzFeed and the Associated Press joined the Washington Times with updated versions of the story....
Considering the frenzied and obsessive news commentary surrounding this issue, one would imagine that such a major development would receive significant media attention. One would be dead wrong.
As of this writing, two days after the story broke, there is no mention of it on the front pages of the New York Times, Washington Post, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News or CNN.
Nothing. Total blackout....
(Here, the #HillaryMen post the Front/Home pages of the major media outlets.)
Philosophers and ethicists talk about sins of commission and sins of omission, causing harm by doing what shouldn't be done and causing harm by not doing what should be done.
The corporate media and commentariat are engaging in both sins with respect to Hillary, flooding the national conversation with Rove-funded negative frames then ignoring positive news. The desired effect is to turn the public against Hillary. Disturbingly, it has worked - thankfully, only to a degree.
It is psychologically impossible for the American public to be inundated with character-destroying stories, images, words, and opinions about a single individual without having some of that negativity eventually reflect back and tarnish the individual.
Proof of Hillary Clinton's astonishing strength is that not only is she effectively battling nearly two dozen declared and undeclared candidates, but she is doing it while being savaged by the gatekeepers and purveyors of our national debate.
No other public figure could survive, let alone thrive, under those circumstances. Perhaps the strongest rationale for a Hillary presidency is her indomitable character and her dignity under soul-crushing pressure....
The behavior of the media and pundits during this historic presidential election cycle is quickly becoming a national disgrace.
