(6,436 posts)4. you are absolutely right. I don't think they have the staff to document all the times M$M
has treated GOP Big Lies re Hillary's email "scandal" as fact. It would be far easier to document the few times the Corporate media actually had a report about HRC's emails/server that WAS NOT a repitition of GOP disinformation/Big Lies.
