Are the so called 'News Media" going to end up looking like total fools over this? (nm)

1. As usual.

They are idiots.

2. They thought they had a bombshell but got a damp squib flameout.....

3. End Up?

The whole thing took about an hour total to debunk and deflate completely. I'd say them looking like fools is pretty much sewn up.

In the end, this will probably end up helping the Clinton campaign, which is well on its way to victory regardless.

5. I should have posted "end up looking like even bigger fools".

Haven't even turned on the so called "news" channels yet knowing they would be acting like a bunch 8th graders with some new gossip.

4. News media doesn't care if they look like fools. nt.

[GopherGal]

10. As long as they look like fools first (nt)

[BobbyDrake]

6. All signs point to 'Yes.' nt

7. that was a rhetorical question, right?

[Tom Rivers]

8. they already are

in their desperate attempt to make this a horserace and have something to talk about they are willfully witholding the accurate and up to date information out there about what the truth of the story really is.

they do not have the right to call themselves a news media, what they really are is a political entertainment racket. the ap and pete williams have the real story out there but that doesn't fit with the narrative they want to tell.

9. Do we have a Friday News dump?

My guess is Comey just wrote his resignation letter.
