FUCK THE PRESS...

[BooScout]

They don't give a shit what the facts are. All they care about our their fucking headlines and how many ads they can sell and how much money they can make. Their irresponsible reporting is criminal.

And the Republican pond scum can all rot in hell.

1. I'm very angry

[BooScout]

4. I know....

I just want to go out and hit something. I am incensed.

[democrattotheend]

11. Me too

At everyone. At the FBI, at the press, at the GOP, and in ways I'm not allowed to talk about here.

[budkin]

2. Horserace

And ratings.

[still_one]

3. They sure demonstrated that facts mean very little to them as long as they can get a headline,

whether it is true or not is not the issue with them

[BooScout]

6. The story was debunked almost as soon as it broke...

That sure as hell didn't stop the nightly news shows from leading with lurid and false headlines and reporting. It is absolutely disgusting.

8. no it didn't, and the same thing with their websites also

16. Not the first time.. Fuck the Manipulative-Manufactured

press for years, now.

[Freethinker65]

9. Nah. They just want people to tune into the tv for breaking updates

Tuning into breaking updates will increase viewership and ratings. Eventually they will explain and try to convince the public that their true journalists have uncovered the real story that this all has to do with emails found on Wiener's laptop, and that Comey was just doing his job (which everyone pretty much knew an hour after the story broke). If we are lucky, Mr. Chaffetz' role in this will tarnish him at least a bit.

10. BULLSHIT!!! The press is not our enemy

As progressives we should be defending the press

They are reporting NEWS. This is the fault of the FBI Director who in the words of Gloria Borger, CNN political analyst, "He walked into a house, set it on fire and walked out" - meaning that he sent Congress a letter that he was reopening an investigation without giving any details which could have made the entire situation less explosive. i.e. They weren't Hillary's emails, they were not from her server, they might be duplicates of emails they have already investigated, etc. etc.

I am watching CNN right now and they are pointing all of this out as they get more information. You had better thank the heavens for the press because they are the only ones who turn this into the non-story it deserves to be.

And let me preemptively say this: YES, they should have reported what they knew (which admittedly wasn't much) as soon as they learned of it. 1) That is their job, 2) In this day and age of news websites and social media, it would have gotten out lightening quick anyway and probably with less accuracy.

That said, it is also the job of the press to look past the original headlines and dig out the rest of the story as soon as possible - and that at least is what CNN is doing.

13. Have a gander at NBC...

They crucified her on their Nightly News cast.

I stand by my FUCK THE PRESS. They are irresponsible hacks.

[rockfordfile]

12. Just shocked! Americans have a problem with trust in the media

[Cha]

14. Yes! That felt Good!

After a DEFCON 1 freakout, we now know the emails in question were:
1) Not from Hillary
2) Not from her sever
3) Not from her investigation

Some irony for Clinton: Anthony Weiner a *great* example of why men who can't control themselves on Twitter shouldn't be allowed near power.
