Just read a bit about it.

Look at the articles done by the senior editor. This is not news. This is an opinion site.

Look at the pic of the editor, who, btw, looks like a drunk 13-year old.

maybe you should just dispute what was written with some facts and sources rather than calling someone names?

OK.Here's a paragraph. The ++ comments are mine.

Without offering specific attribution, Todd revealed on-air that he had learned for certain that Clinton will not be charged.

++So to paraphrase: No source, but Chuck Todd says Clinton will not be indicted.

So....this is just Chuck Todd spouting off? This is Chuck Todd interviewing a security guard? What? We don't know, because there is no cited source.

Which amounts to, as you like to say, a BIG NOTHINGBURGER.


This information was obvious enough all along to anyone who followed the story accurately, as the FBI had already publicly told the New York Times that she was not even a target of their email investigation.

++How is it obvious? And who is the judge of whether a person is following the story "accurately." OK, I'm starting tire of this ridiculous exercise. This source is pure drivel. How you could even bother posting it is unfathomable.


News outlets knew this all along but decided to play up various misnomers about the story — on cable news in particular — because it seemed to be the only way in which they could get ratings about of Hillary’s otherwise steady and controversy free campaign.

++So how does "the daily news bin" know news outlets knew this all along? Seriously. Did they interview them? Do they have a source for a research study? How would they know this?

Are you starting to get the gist? The author goes on to misuse a word. Earlier, others were misused.

Educated people cannot read drivel like this. Stop posting such garbage. It's a waste of time and bandwidth. It shows absolutely no respect for your audience.

Wow, you seemed to have a lot to say to defend pure drivel.

Not to worry, It will all come out in the wash.

I find that odd. The latest story is just an opinion about what MSNBC and CNN are thinking with no links or attribution, pure opinion.

It doesn't fit the requirement that I understood existed for LBN, reliable mainstream news source.

Oh well...

"....If you read the articles on Daily News Bin, IMHO it's clearly the site is a poorly written pro-Hillary Clinton site. It does nothing but promote Hillary Clinton. It talks as if Hillary Clinton already won the Democratic nomination for president. Now, Daily News Bin has Tech, Music, and Entertainment sections. But if you go to them, you discover them either empty or full of pro-Hillary Clinton articles....."

According to Wikipedia: A supporter of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in 2008, Anita Finlay ... is currently on the writing staff of The New Agenda, a bi-partisan organization dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls, as well as Co-founder and writer for the The Daily News Bin, a Pro-Hillary Clinton blog." Although I don't see her by-line on DNB articles, she has frequently links to DNB on both her Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Anita Finlay is a longtime supporter of Clinton. She was an actress on "The Young and the Restless" and she has a blog that is mostly dedicated these days to singing the praises of Clinton. She wrote a book published in 2012 titled " Dirty Words on Clean Skin: Sexism and Sabotage" that is all about how Clinton is an innocent victim of sexists and pure as the driven snow. Her book is part of the Clinton Library collection Note that she was removed from the website's list of contributors. She has also acted as spokesperson for several Fortune 500 companies.

This trash bin...I mean "news" bin is a complete joke. It's obviously coming from Clinton supporters and while I'd guess we won't find direct money coming from her campaign, there are certainly ties.
