Always the victim of RW thugs. Even Digby has an article in Salon saying no one can even name one lie. Do you remember Mike Malloy, the reliable anti-establishment left talker? I can't bear to listen to him anymore. Demanded my pod cast money back more to make an issue than the money. He's defending Hillary and attacking Greenwald and the rest of the Bernie people who are calling her out. Terror terror Trump!!! Malloy is streaming and off the radio. He's turned into a screaming, vulgar and demented old man.

where the question was raised about whether we'd be taken seriously if we used the b-word when talking about Hillary.

In truth (tell me if you disagree) any argument against Hillary would be received by the "serious people" as if we'd used the b-word. Whereas using a vulgarity to describe Trump would be seen as fine.

There is only "on the bandwagon" ("I'm with Her") or "off the bandwagon". "Off" can mean voting for Stein, Trump, no one, or even if you do vote for Hillary, if you're not overly enthusiastic then shut up! Or, as Hillary herself said to the press corps "You're supposed to say 'yes!'"

She is always the victim, never the villain. For her or agin her.

Got a Link, Paul?

Now, any operation that raises and spends billions of dollars creates the potential for conflicts of interest. You could imagine the Clintons using the foundation as a slush fund to reward their friends, or, alternatively, Mrs. Clinton using her positions in public office to reward donors. So it was right and appropriate to investigate the foundation’s operations to see if there were any improper quid pro quos. As reporters like to say, the sheer size of the foundation “raises questions.”

But nobody seems willing to accept the answers to those questions, which are, very clearly, “no.”

Can he just say it like that?

I mean, the Clinton Foundation is really pretty shady when it comes to charitable work. Probably more akin to a religious industry group than a charity.

We thought she was hideous in 2008, and that was without David Brock.
This is their LAST CHANCE. No holds barred, any cliche you can think of.
Desperation. "Nothing in the world matters except getting the Clintons back into the White House."
More than enough money to do, say, anything they want to do, no shame, no morality, no ethics.

People desperate to keep their own positions, access, power, money, you name it - we're fighting a well paid, experienced, army of sycophants with no concerns about anything but winning, maintaining their own power.

that they not get it; all the more reason for us to do whatever it takes to keep it out of their hands.

I literally agree with everything Glen wrote.

Of course I support Candidate X. Read this knowing that.

Pretty simple to do.

Krugman, and most political reporters without an axe to grind can't seem to do that though. I wonder why?

It seems pretentious and fake to me.

CSTS...don't you know those are all just rightwing talking points that justify the 30 years of persecution poor poor Hillary has suffered? You don't really believe those things do you?? /s

Anyone who isn't embedded in the corporatist media can see that there is deliberately no real reporting about much of anything. What passes for coverage is all about enhancing the profitability of the sponsors and advertisers. This includes those who invested in certain political figures so that in a couple of years they will answer the phone when called.

Thom Hartmann is of the opinion (supported independently by Brad Friedman) that the media is busy "levelling" the polling between Hillary and The Donald as a means of forcing both camps to spend more of their treasure on ads carried by the corporatist, for-profit "news" outlets. IIRC, someone here recently covered how the "news" became just another profit-center for media outlets. Now, they are willing (apparently) to manipulate our electoral processes just so that they can squeeze the candidates.

Wasn't this once called "extortion" when the Mob did it?

In any case, attempting to expect the media to do the job Krugman suddenly wants accomplished only shows that he'd be better of waiting for that Wall Street icon, More Dough.
