0 mention of wikileaks. NYT hasn't weighed in, had to fire a staff member for feeding HRC intel. In fact, there is virtually no mention that wikileaks is actively disclosing emails. One article indicating "voters already made up their minds". I think they are both scumbags, it's just that it is absurd that NYT isn't even trying to spin, just pretending it didn't happen.

I have been getting updates via a fucking uncharged fugitive seeking asylum from my country and reading updates via RT (Russian News). I feel sick to my stomach and I am very cynical.

Wait, what are you saying they are blacking out?

NYT is covering the Wikileaks emails:

Also, are you confusing CNN firing a commentator with the NYT? Donna Brazile was not 'a staff member' at CNN, they paid her to go on TV and babble, not as a reporter. She acted in bad faith, but she wasn't in a journalistic role.

Sorry, yes am getting them confused. Trying to figure out what is going on with little sleep and email data. I am embarassed I made those mistakes but it is also telling.

I am not contending there is a blackout-- that was an over reaction, but all major networks are barely mentioning much of the disclosures or even showing HRC in that bad of a light. If this was Gary Johnson-- who most people dont know; would ve surprised if state dept & WL werent front page.

Bloomberg, CNN, NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC are running with blatant propaganda. Just because I find HRC to be a dangerous, doeNt mean I support T.

The state dept/FBI are releasing data dumps on a former senator & secretary of state as well as pursuing her investigation of criminal activity. None of these papers allude to that scary fact, or the scarrier fact that there is a schism internally as well.

Comcerned.

The story you linked is only on the politics sub-page, and it's under 3 anti-Trump spotlight stories and buried in the middle of other anti-Trump stories.

There is a blackout, it's just not a 100% blackout.

It's actually just not an interesting story. It was basically scheduled.

If they don't give good placement to something scandalous from the released messages, then you have an argument.
