Media is desparate to find some false equivalency to smear Hillary, counter Trump vid

All day long they've been harping on the Wiki email release about Donna Brazile. Never mind that these emails are probably phony and coming from Russia. Let's be clear: absolutely no vetting of these emails has taken place in the media. They are raw reporting disinformation being thrown out by Trump/Putin(?) to smear Hillary and the Ds.

We are not yet in the clear from the media's false equivalency bullshit. They are trying as hard as they can to find something, anything to counter Trump's disintegration. I'm guessing the memo came down from the front office, and it's all about sticking to the horserace script, because that has been generating $.

They are craven scumbags.

BTW - have you noticed how the Rs are hung up on emails? Every single "scandal" they float about Hillary/Dems centers around emails. They have no fucking imagination! Don't they get that it's obvious that they are desparately trying to create stories that don't exist? They're just too stupid and lazy to think of something outside of emails.
