MSM IS NOT THROUGH PROTECTING HILLARY IN THEIR 'FAKE NEWS' TALES!

Hacking elections: Trump vs. Bill Clinton: not even close
 
By Jon Rappoport
 
On the one hand, we have unverified claims that Russian hackers stole emails from the Democratic National Committee and passed them to WikiLeaks, who released them.
 
Supposedly, the contents of the emails were so embarrassing, they helped sink Hillary Clinton's campaign.
 
We also have unverified claims that thousands of websites and blogs somehow operated under Russian influence, during the campaign, on behalf of Trump and against Hillary.
 
But imagine what major media would have done to Trump, if the following events occurred:
 
IMAGINARY EVENT ONE: The Russian government contributed money to Trump's campaign.
 
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED: In a new article, former CBS investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson writes: "If you've watched politics a little while, you may remember the scandal broken by The Washington Post in 1996. The Post reported evidence of China directing contributions to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) during the presidential contest between Bill Clinton and Republican Bob Dole---a violation of US law."
 
If Trump was embroiled now in what Clinton was embroiled in then, the press would go over-the-top insane now.
 
IMAGINARY EVENT TWO: A foreign-born Trump fundraiser is actually convicted of illegally raising campaign money.
 
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED: Sharyl Attkisson writes: "Taiwan-born Maria Hsia, a fundraiser for Clinton Vice President Al Gore [in 1996], was convicted of illegal campaign fundraising."
 
Substitute a Trump campaign worker for Maria Hsia, and the press would go over-the-top insane now.
 
IMAGINARY EVENT THREE: A Russian-born Trump supporter is convicted of trying to give major money to Trump.
 
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED: Attkisson writes: "Eventually, Taiwan-born Charlie Trie was convicted of improperly attempting to give large donations to the Clinton's legal defense fund."
 
IMAGINARY EVENT FOUR: A Russian national is convicted of violating election law after he gives large donations to Trump.
 
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED: Attkisson writes: "Taiwan-born Johnny Chung was convicted of violating election law after making large donations to the DNC (which were later returned)."
 
IMAGINARY EVENT FIVE: A Russian fundraiser for Trump, who actually works at the US Dept. of Commerce, is convicted of campaign finance fraud.
 
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED: Attkisson writes: "Chinese-born John Huang---a DNC fundraiser and Commerce Department official in the Clinton administration---was convicted of campaign finance fraud."
 
If the press treated Bill Clinton then the way they're treating Trump now, given the actual crimes committed on behalf of Clinton by Taiwanese and Chinese nationals, reporters and editors and their allies would have called for Clinton to be encased in a tube and shot off in a rocket to Mars, never to return.
 
But Clinton served out his term in office. There was no widespread scandal. The impeachment proceeding involved him lying about sex with Monica Lewinsky, not criminal campaign activity. In Democratic circles, and even in the press, many people still revere Clinton as a major statesman and philanthropist.
 
But don't worry. 
 
The press isn't biased. 
 
They have no covert agenda. 
 
Of course not. 
 
All is well.
