What does everyone think about the wikileaks vids?
Part 1
Part 2
More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.

Seen 'em. Strongly recommend anyone who hasn't watched yet to do so. None of the content surprised me, but it was nice to see some actual investigative journalism for once. Televised news is pathetic.

I've heard some independent youtube media channels allege that the mainstream media has been paid off by the Clinton campaign not to report bad stuff about Hillary or to down play such stories.

Looking at CNN headlines, it's not hard to believe that.

I'm not one of those tinfoil hat conspiracy theory guys, not even remotely. And I sure as hell don't like Trump. Or Clinton. But I do believe that.

Payoffs come in different forms, such as exclusives. News is not journalism anymore on any network devoted solely to news. It's business. And the products are tailored to a particular audience. People watch what they want to see and don't watch what they don't want to see. So networks don't air the things their target audience doesn't want to see. In the end, it IS about money, but direct payoffs aren't necessary.

Yes, I agree.

By "payoffs", I didn't nessicarily mean money, more likely access and "preferred-ness" from the White House after Hillary becomes president.

There is definitely something dark going on within the government, and that they are doing everything they can to prop up Hillary. Seems like the closer we get to this election, the closer we also get to having a war with Russia.
We are all just sloguns waiting to have our triggers pulled.
