Quote: | In a Politico article detailing how President-elect Donald Trump’s “horde of enforcers” — Breitbart.com listed prominently among them — are scaring Republican lawmakers away from criticizing him, a Breitbart editor said Republicans are right to fear the right-wing website, which was previously run by Trump senior counselor Stephen Bannon. This admission from Breitbart that the outlet plans to support Trump, rather than objectively cover his incoming administration, further demonstrates that the website is not editorially independent enough to warrant permanent Capitol Hill press credentials.
Breitbart applied for permanent Capitol Hill press credentials in November. Media Matters has objected to the request, urging members of the Standing Committee of the Senate Press Gallery in an open letter to reject the request based on Breitbart’s disqualifying inability to demonstrate editorial independence from the Trump team as required by the committee’s rules. Breitbart fails this standard in several ways, as several former members of the committee have acknowledged. In a December 21 Politico report headlined “Trump posse browbeats Hill Republicans,” Breitbart further demonstrates why the site must be disqualified from obtaining a permanent press pass by admitting that it will go after Trump’s Republican critics. |

Now if you can come up with the slant of the articles (supportive or critical of the Hillary email issue), then you might have some meaningful information. |

I know you can not read or understand simple things, when the headlines are about hillary you do not get to hear about the stupid things trump is saying. past your paygrade... Like about the raping of a 13 year old girl with three sworn affidavits, at his friends home who is a convicted child pediophile.. the media never put that one in the headlines for 10 days did they.
Quote: | As Gallup’s data show, the email coverage reached a crescendo when Comey announced on October 29 that the bureau planned to review additional emails that “appear to be pertinent to the investigation” of Clinton’s use of a private email server. Reporters rushed to trumpet Republican spin that the letter was a major development indicating that Comey had “reopened” his investigation, and they flooded newspaper front pages and broadcast and cable news programming with endless discussion that was frequently obsessed with optics and devoid of substance.
Two days before the election, Comey announced what had been obvious from the moment the story had broken -- that the review of additional emails would not change his conclusion that Clinton’s server had not violated the law (the emails reportedly turned out to be almost entirely duplicates of previously reviewed emails). But the damage was done: The email story garnered substantial negative media coverage over the last 10 days of the election while crowding out potential negative coverage of Trump. |

With No Warning, House Republicans Vote to Gut Independent Ethics Office
By ERIC LIPTON
Quote: | The move by emboldened Republicans on the eve of a new Congress would strip power and independence from an investigative body and give lawmakers control over ethics inquiries. |

Trump tests media, burying controversy in tight schedule
Quote: | Rachel Maddow reports on the oddly cozy relationship between Donald Trump and the National Enquirer as the tabloid turns cheerleader for Trump, and notes how Trump and Senate Republicans are trying to stifle coverage of Trump's cabinet with a tight schedule. |
Trump actually believes the National Enquirer should be getting top journalism awards... are all right wingers this stupid on this forum too. _________________ when good people stay silent the right wing are the only ones heard. |
