This is why media has become so untrustworthy. Ever since corporations bought them out to promote the free market mentality that brought us the great recession, all you get from them is complete BS. When the brain washed write the news you get baloney sandwiches. Best to scour the net carefully for the few pieces of honesty left in America. Vox is often worth a look.

'Confessions of a Clinton reporter: The media's 5 unspoken rules for covering Hillary'

The 5 unspoken rules for covering Hillary Clinton

"The reporter's job is to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable" — a credo that, humorously, was originally written as a smear of the self-righteous nature of journalists. And so the justification for going after a public figure increases in proportion to his or her stature. The bigger the figure, the looser the restraints."
 
When righties work this hard to deflect from a thread topic, you know they're running scared. Whenever they can't formulate a response to the honest truth, they try that tactic. That's a cue to ignore their diversions, and then repeat whatever they just tried to deflect from.

Again, here are the press rules for covering Clinton. Go to the article for a long exposition on each point, from a reporter who was in the Clinton-stalking game.

The 5 unspoken rules for covering Hillary Clinton

1) Everything, no matter how ludicrous-sounding, is worthy of a full investigation by federal agencies, Congress, the "vast right-wing conspiracy," and mainstream media outlets

2) Every allegation, no matter how ludicrous, is believable until it can be proven completely and utterly false. And even then, it keeps a life of its own in the conservative media world.

3) The media assumes that Clinton is acting in bad faith until there's hard evidence otherwise.

4) Everything is newsworthy because the Clintons are the equivalent of America's royal family

5) Everything she does is fake and calculated for maximum political benefit

New rules for covering Hillary? Considering all her pandering to Islam, should we assume she will be soon covered thusly?
