The Insidious Power of the Media Disinformation Campaign for Hillary Clinton

Thank God for the new media, since without it, so many facts would never be covered. Now the great challenge is to extend the reach of that new media.

Fewer examples of the bias of the old media exist than how Bill and Hillary have been able to get away with countless things since they arrived on the national stage over twenty-five years ago.

The above title is from a post by Mark A. Hewitt American Thinker, but first, here are headlines from the Drudge Report this morning:

8 OFFICIALS QUIZ UNDER OATH

GOODWIN: Lynch falls under Clintons corrupting influence…

COMEY TAKES CENTER STAGE…

Indicted or not indicted?

DANGER: Could be charged with making false statements…

Here is Mark A. Hewitt:

The conservative radio personality, Chris Plante (WMAL, Washington, DC) opines that the most insidious power of the media is their power to ignore.  While it is certainly true that the chief editor of a major newspaper or the producer of a network newscast has the ability to spike or kill a story, which is essentially their way of “ignoring” the news if you will, what is more subtle, deceitful—and dare I suggest corrupt—is their penchant to frame a story to fit a specific narrative.  They no longer report the news, but they do shape a message.

There is not a finer example of the media ignoring the facts and shaping a message than what we are witnessing regarding Hillary Clinton’s email server, the classified material on that server, as well as the case of the missing emails.  The media have embraced the Clinton campaign’s narrative that there is “nothing to see here,” that there wasn’t some “mishandling email controversy,” at most, or repeat Secretary Clinton’s own bogus statement, “using a personal e-mail was permissible” as “other Secretaries of State did the same thing.”  Other excuses have been thrown against the wall to see if something will stick, such as, she was “trying to protect her privacy” or “she was clueless about how regular emails work on a conventional computer.”

Anyone in the intelligence community and DOD holding a top secret clearance with Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI)—a type of classified information concerning or derived from sensitive intelligence sources, methods, or analytical processes—knows that not only is Hillary Clinton (and her minions) lying but that the media—unable to completely ignore the multifaceted issue—has shifted to shaping the narrative.  The KGB disinformation service couldn’t have done a better job.
