#1 Never let real news get in the way of fake news.

#2 So Chuckie admits they slant the news according to their own political beliefs. They sure pulled one over on Clinton telling her she didn't need to campaign in Wisconsin and Michigan.

#3 So, basically, this guy tells Hillary "I've contributed to your humiliating defeat.". Smart.

#6 "No member of the press corps wants to look like they’re singling out a group and making a group feel bad, right, whatever that [group] is."

And there we have in a single sentence an admission that the news isn't really the news.

#7 No member of the press corps wants to look like they’re singling out a group and making a group feel bad, ~~right, whatever that [group] is.~~ unless they're white, male or Christian."

That's more like it.

#8 No member of the press corps wants to look like they’re singling out a group and making a group feel bad, right, whatever that [group] is.

If this were true, there would be no press. Reporting is supposed to focus conflict, change and trend. As for groups, it's "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

This not a case of poor news judgement, it was clearly propaganda.

Worse, they're doubling down again.
