WashPost Gushes for Hillary's 'Confidante,' Skips Cattle Scandal Link
The Washington Post published a gooey valentine to Hillary friend (and ally in ridiculous spin) Diane Blair on the front of Wednesday’s Style section. To Clinton-scandal buffs – of whom there are obviously none at the Post – Blair was the wife of corporate lawyer Jim Blair, the fixer who so helpfully assisted the sitting governor’s wife in amassing a $100,000 killing in the commodities market in…

Nets Give 2X More Coverage to Trump Climber Than Hillary E-Mails
On Thursday, the three network morning shows were more interested in a man climbing Trump Tower in New York City than the latest revelations in Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal.

NPR Brings on Anita Hill to Trash Sex Harassment by Ailes, Not Clinton
NPR’s Morning Edition brought on Anita Hill for another of many softball interviews about sexual harassment on Wednesday.
