Exposing its left wing bias for all-the world to see, CNN ripped an Associated Press Aug. 23 investigative report documenting Democratic nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s inappropriate access of Clinton Foundation donors while at the State Department [Jan. 21, 2009 to Feb. 1, 2013]. With the State Department refusing to release Hillary’s complete calendar, the AP cobbled together the available schedule, showing Hillary met with at least 85 Clinton Foundation donors out of 154 face-to-face meetings. AP found 85 donors accounted for some $156 million in cash donations to the Clinton Foundation. No matter how you whitewash the facts, the AP exposed to the world the kind of pay-to-play rulebook while Hillary ran the State Department. Calling the report flawed, CNN tried to rescue Hillary’s damaged credibility.
CNN’s hosts and pundits on its primetime shows all ripped the AP report as failing to give a complete picture of all Hillary’s calendar at the State Department. AP would have given a more complete read had the State Department released her complete schedule. CNN objected to an Aug. 23 AP Tweet: “AP analysis: More than half of those who me with Clinton as Cabinet secretary gave money to the Clinton Foundation,” prompting CNN to defend Hillary. CNN wants voters to know that the AP reported on only a fraction of Hillary’s meetings, suggesting that there’s nothing inappropriate about hosting Clinton Foundation donors. CNN mentions nothing of former President Bill Clinton insisting that he and Hillary would resign from the Clinton Foundation Board if she becomes president. CNN and Bill divert attention away from obscene amounts of cash raked in by the Clinton Foundation.
CNN’s Dylan Byers ripped AP’s report as only giving half-the story. “The AP’s social media take on the story was seriously flawed,” Byers quoted liberal Temple University media professor David Boardman, dean of the School of Media and Communications, former editor of the Seattle Times. “It’s sloppy click-grabbing shorthand that is a disservice to the reporting to which it refers,” said Boardman, saying nothing about the egregious impropriety of giving Clinton Foundation donors preferential access to Hillary. Byers’ report besmirches the courageous AP report that, unlike CNN, went beyond today’s biased reporting. CNN, MSNBC, New York Times and Washington Post show no degrees of separation from their newsrooms and the Hillary campaign. CNN’s Byers went for the jugular discrediting the AP report with more extreme quotes from the liberal press.
Bolstering his attack with extreme quotes from biased liberal news outlets, Byers exposes his close ties to the Hillary campaign. “Many more nuanced and important details in the story that are being misrepresented—by the AP’s own promotional tweet, and by Trump,” wrote the Washington Post, a shell of the once venerable paper whose investigative reporting brought down President Richard Nixon in the Watergate Scandal. Since billionaire Amazon Internet entrepreneur Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post Oct. 1, 2013, the papers turned into pure left wing propaganda. Byers CNN article makes special reference to the Washington Post, whose critique was more addressed toward Donald Trump than the AP. Washington Post’s fact-checker deceives readers into assuming it’s fact-checking the AP story, when, in fact, it was more critical of Trump’s take on the AP story.
Blasting AP for putting out its abbreviated Tweet doesn’t constitute an attack on the contents of the AP report. Hillary of course ridiculed the story saying, “there’s smoke but no fire,” meaning that the AP’s blowing smoke. AP researchers were very careful when they compiled their report, most importantly, free from the kind of media bias for Hillary seen in Byers’ story. Byers made every effort to discredit the AP report based on a brief Tweet, saying nothing about the substance of the report. CNN, Washington Post and quotes from liberal professors, all helped Byers divert attention from the factual content of the AP report. Byers and the Washington Post followed the exact tactics as the Hillary campaign. CNN’s egregious pro-Hillary bias has cost the cable news network untold numbers of viewers. Even CNN CEO Jeff Zuker admitted May 2 the network has become too liberal.
CNN, Washington Post and the Hillary campaign went to great lengths to discredit the Aug. 23 AP report showing Hillary giving inappropriate access to Clinton Foundation donors while Secretary of State. Compared to the email scandal, the Clinton Foundation revelation promises far more political damage to Hillary’s campaign. When you add up the umpteen millions the CF took from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States, it’s no wonder Hillary backs 100% Saudi Arabia’s proxy war with Syria. While most voters can’t fathom the implications, Hillary’s backed an almost six-year war that caused the worst humanitarian refugee crisis since WWII. Taking all that cash from the Saudis and Gulf States, it’s impossible for Hillary to act independently on behalf of the U.S. government. No candidate can aspire to the White House when they’ve taken millions from foreign governments.
