Hillary's pneumonia: the media's lowest moment.

A 68-year-old woman with pneumonia still kept a schedule that most of us wouldn’t make it through. That’s not weak. That’s actually tough as hell.

This isn’t the first time that the press has seen things where there don’t seem to be things, because Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, and others, have them hyper-trained to keep an eye out for those things.

Nothing yet has been found to be seriously wrong with how the Clinton Foundation operates. But after years and years of books and articles pushed by the Stone/Bannon crowd about Clinton corruption, even some mild hint of something based on “optics” and innuendo takes on a life of its own, with the D.C. press.

With this latest episode, I sure as hell hope they got a wake up call. Because today was downright embarrassing for them.

Embarrassing and shameful.

They owe Hillary Clinton a deep, deep apology for unwittingly taking the Stone/Bannon bait, and blowing a situation up into something it was not.

1. Just another ball to knock around in the MSM sewer.

Journalism is not dead, but most of it has been shunted out of the mainstream. With our help.

How many politically involved Americans are reading Newsweek's big article on Trump this morning? This IS journalism addressing a real and important topic.

Many of Trump's business entanglements are with companies owned or controlled by foreign governments and/or involved with foreign political parties, nationalist and other movements, and even religions. Sometimes a number of different ones in one country, sometimes enemy nations in troubled regions. South Korea, Middle Eastern nations, and so on.

HOW THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION'S FOREIGN BUSINESS TIES COULD UPEND U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY
... few Indian political groups hoping to establish close ties to a possible future American president could have missed the recent statements from the Trump family that its company wanted to do more deals in their country. ... “We are very bullish on India and plan to build a pan-India development footprint for Trump-branded residential and office projects,’’ Donald Trump Jr. told the Hindustan Times. “We have a very aggressive pipeline in the north and east, and look forward to the announcement of several exciting new projects in the months ahead.”

That is a chilling example of the many looming conflicts of interest in a Trump presidency. If he plays tough with India, will the government assume it has to clear the way for projects in that “aggressive pipeline” and kill the investigations involving Trump’s Pune partners? And if Trump takes a hard line with Pakistan, will it be for America’s strategic interests or to appease Indian government officials who might jeopardize his profits from Trump Towers Pune?

... However, Trump is very popular with the Hindu Sena, a far-right radical nationalist group that sees his anti-Muslim stance as a sign he would take an aggressive stand against Pakistan. When Trump turned 70 in June, members of that organization threw a birthday party for the man they called “the savior of humanity.”
