Column: The Real Collusion Scandal of the 2016 Campaign #Political
1. ABC’s George Stephanopoulos harshly interviewed Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer on his Sunday show on April 26, 2015. In an e-mail, Clinton campaign staffer Jesse Ferguson boasted Stephanopoulos “refuted” Schweizer. “Great work everyone. This interview is perfect. He lands nothing and everything is refuted (mostly based on our work).”
Stephanopoulos didn’t just donate to the Clinton Foundation. He donated at the office.
2. Maggie Haberman was singled out as a pliant recycler of the Clinton narratives: “We have has [sic] a very good relationship with Maggie Haberman of Politico over the last year. We have had her tee up stories for us before and have never been disappointed.”
Now match that with Maggie Haberman, the heroic challenger of all things Trump for The New York Times. She’s not a journalist first, she never disappoints at “teeing up stories” for Democrats.
3. CNBC anchor Becky Quick – who helped moderate the atrocious CNBC Republican primary debate in 2015 – promised Podesta after Obama nominated Sylvia Mathews Burwell as HHS secretary: “I will make sure to defend her when things get further along in the nomination process.”
The Clinton campaign got cut-and-paste privileges!
Leibovich had quoted Hillary talking about eating moose stew, and mocking Sarah Palin on her moose chatter. Palmieri instructed: "Fine to use the moose, but appreciate leaving the mention of Sarah Palin out." She also instructed Leibovich to change another quote Clinton made about gay rights.
"Pleasure doing business!" Palmieri oozed.
If you think this sort of collusion isn't happening right now between Biden's aides and the journalists who want Trump bounced from office, then you’re dreaming. Even worse, CBS later brought on Leibovich to discuss Wikileaks....and never mentioned any of this!
In February of 2016, the website Gawker also published a cache of e-mails between reporters and Hillary Clinton PR operative Phillippe Reines. The best example was Marc Ambinder, a longtime ABC and CBS reporter then with The Atlantic.
In July 2009, Hillary was delivering a speech at the Council on Foreign Relations. Ambinder wanted an advance copy. Reines insisted on conditions. "You must describe her tone as 'muscular,' and you must note that her most prominent underlings at the State Department (George Mitchell, Richard Holbrooke) would be seated in front of her to convey her command of the staff."
“Got it,” Ambinder replied, like a cheerful waiter. Later that day, he published a story Xeroxing Hillary’s spin right at the top, touting a “muscular speech” Hillary would deliver that day in front of her rival “power centers” in the State Department.
This is how reporters are exploited by anonymous “senior administration officials” to set the table for Democrats, whether they are in power or not.
