The real Clinton email scandal is that a [BS] story has dominated the campaign
#1
A detailed article about the supposed "email scandal". Of course, the people who should read this won't. Or maybe can't: it's long and uses big words.

"If you agree with her on policy, vote with a clear conscience about the server."
This is unfortunate because emailgate, like so many Clinton pseudo-scandals before it, is [BS]. The real scandal here is the way a story that was at best of modest significance came to dominate the US presidential election — overwhelming stories of much more importance, giving the American people a completely skewed impression of one of the two nominees, and creating space for the FBI to intervene in the election in favor of its apparently preferred candidate in a dangerous way.

I suspect you've seen Seth Meyers's take on this...

The email "scandal" is the same as Kerry's 2004 "Swiftboating" campaign.

Just right-wing BS

Be well.

This is what happens when too few people take Faux News, alt.right websites and the 91% of talk radio that is reactionary to task. This is not going away - ever.

Not as long as we have stupid, gullible, uneducated people.

Or, you know, we could reintroduce legislation that was precisely intended to prevent this sort of insanity. I believe it was called the "Fairness Doctrine" - and it meant that rather than allowing a skewed distortion of reality being presented by political operatives, the two mainstream sides of the story would be presented.
