Corruption & Collusion

By Cal Thomas Modern journalists have little in common with those I was privileged to know when I was a copyboy at NBC News in Washington in the 60s. Todays journalists will disagree but as numerous surveys have shown the public trust in what is collectively called the media has sunk to an all-time low. Only the media think they dont have to change and can continue to sell a product more and more people refuse to buy. WikiLeaks dumps of Clinton campaign emails with reporters should contain enough proof for any reasonable person that big media is in the tank for her. In what may be unprecedented The New York Times allowed Hillary to edit her own quotes. John Harwood chief Washington correspondent for CNBC showered praise on Hillary in emails to her campaign chief John Podesta. Clinton staffers discussed which emails to release and which to delete. She has claimed the deleted emails were personal not work related. A Chapman University survey has found the top fear of American voters is corruption in government. If true why do so many intend to vote for Hillary perhaps the most corrupt politician ever to seek the presidency? The WikiLeaks documents also expose Hillarys private vs. public contradictory statements on several subjects. The Washington Examiner reports these include transcripts of paid speeches she has tried to keep secret. Three years ago Hillary told an audience at a luncheon for the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago Vanguard that the flow of Syrian refugees into Jordan had put Jordans security at risk.
