Wikileaks Reveals Long List of Media Canoodling with Hillary Clinton
There is a reason that the establishment media is devoting so little airtime to the Wikileaks revelations: the hacked emails show how many establishment media people are working with Clinton family to rig the election.
Here is a list of some of media actions that have been exposed, so far.
Haim Saban, chairman of Univision
Spanish Language network Univision went on the offensive against Donald Trump almost immediately, leading to a contentious relationship that led to anchor Jorge Ramos being tossed from a Trump a news conference in Iowa in August, 2015.
Now the Miami Herald has reported that Univision’s chairman and Hollywood media mogul Haim Saban pushed the Clinton campaign to take on Trump.
In statement, Saban’s spokeswoman, Stephanie Pillersdorf, acknowledged Saban has “been a supporter of Hillary separate and way before his involvement with Univision,” but said that played no factor in Univision coverage and emphasized that point by saying, “Not even one iota. Zero, zero, zero.”
Saban also denied any influence over the company he’s chairman of in another email Wikileaks published. The Herald reports:
But BloombergBusinessWeek magazine put Saban on its cover in October, while highlighting his close ties to Clinton — and his business and political clashes with Donald Trump.
John Harwood of CNBC, The New York Times
John Harwood is a liberal contributor to The New York Times and a CNBC correspondent who was chosen to moderate one of the Republican primary debates. Wikileaks’s emails have shown he tried to be an informal advisor to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
One topic of concern was the scandal over Hillary Clinton’s private email server. As Breitbart News reported:
Rebecca Quick of CNBC
Harwood’s co-moderator at that Republican Primary Debate was Rebecca Quick, the co-host of CNBC’s Squawk Box and anchorwoman of On the Money.
One Wikileaks email revealed Quick’s pledge to cheerlead for Sylvia Mathews Burwell, President Barack Obama’s nominee for the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. As Breitbart News reported:
Erskine Bowles is the former president of the University of North Carolina and the former chairman of Obama’s National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform.
Maggie Haberman of The New York Times and Politico
Glenn Greenwald and Lee Fang reported at The Intercept on documents that they were given exclusively by hacker Guccifer 2.0 which detailed how political writer Maggie Haberman has helped the Clinton family.
The story from The Intercept also shows how the Clinton campaign plants “surrogates” in the media, often who are on the Family Team.
John Harris, Editor-in-Chief, Politico.
In March 2015, The New York Times reported that Bill Clinton was causing trouble for the campaign by speaking off-script. In response, John Harris, Politico’s top editor, sent an email to Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton chief flack.
It is not clear if the email was a tongue-in-cheek joke by a journalist seeking to break news whenever Clinton went off-script, or insider ingratiation with Palmieri, or a coy request for a job. But Palmieri forwarded the email to Podesta, with her judgement of Harris’s trustworthiness: “Harris is volunteering. Seems sound.”
Donna Brazile of CNN and the Democratic National Committee, Roland Martin of TV-One.
Longtime Clinton ally Donna Brazile, then a CNN contributor but now acting head of the Democratic National Committee, appears to have emailed members of the Clinton campaign to tip them off about a question that would be asked at Clinton’s debate with Bernie Sanders.
In this case, the cover-up is also at least as bad as the crime.
“From time to time I get the questions in advance,” was the subject line of an alleged email in which Brazile gave Clinton’s campaign the heads up for a question on the death penalty.
In a statement released Tuesday afternoon, Brazile denied leaking questions, saying “I often shared my thoughts with each and every campaign, and any suggestions that indicate otherwise are completely untrue.”
However, as Hadas Gold at Politico wrote:
CNN’s Jake Tapper told Larry O’Connor on his WMAL radio show Thursday morning that he believes the leak, including the word-for-word question, must have come from Martin’s camp, telling O’Connor, “My understanding is the email to Donna came from either Roland Martin or someone around Roland Martin.” Tapper went on to say:
One would hope it would have some impact, since the current DNC head appears to be telling a story that directly contradicts all available evidence.
Hours after Wikileaks dropped the material, Brazile issued a statement saying “I never had access to questions and would never have shared them with the candidates if I did.”
Roland Martin himself was more cagey, as Brian Stetler reports:
Dan Merica of CNN
The Wikileaks drop also shows that Hillary Clinton has a real fondness for CNN pool reporter Dan Merica.
The Daily Caller reported that “Clinton’s director of Latino outreach Lorella Preali wrote to press secretary Nick Merrill on February 26, 2016 to describe a campaign trip to Georgia in the weeks leading up to the state primary.
Marjorie Pritchard of The Boston Globe
Pritchard is the Op-Ed editor for Boston Globe and she appears to have gone above and beyond the call of duty, helpfully suggesting to th Clinton campaign when it could run to have maximum impact for Clinton.
In this email, Pritchard makes suggestions about the timing of an editorial;
Louise Mensch, editor of Heat Street
Louise Mensch is the editor of Heat Street, Rupert Murdoch’s latest site, which is targeted at conservatives. Yet the Wikileaks drop shows Mensch is a fan of Hillary Clinton, so much so that she furtively tried to write campaign ads for Clinton.
As Breitbart News reported:
The email reads:
HeatStreet can’t claim to be above using Wikileaks a a source, since it has done cover stories based on the Wikileaks release.
Sidney Blumenthal
Finally, in the names of balance it’s important to note that it’s not all wine and roses for Podesta and the media, as another email shows that Podesta and other members of the team express frustration about Clinton advisor and journalist Sidney Blumenthal.
In this email exchange, John Podesta says something about Clinton advisor and journalist Sidney Blumenthal that many people would agree with:
There’s no indication in the emails that this policy will be implemented.
