No, Chuck Todd, All Murdoch Media IS Alike, And It's Wrong
There are two things going on in this clip.
The more important one is that Pete Williams is putting to rest all the conspiracy theories that the FBI is somehow prepping a jail cell for Hillary Clinton because reasons!
No they aren't, no they haven't, no they won't.
The other thing happening is that Chuck Todd is quoting both the Wall Street Journal AND Fox News as if they are completely independent of each other rather than owned by right wing propagandist Rupert Murdoch. That's a crime against journalism, Chuck.
Chuck Todd calls it "a bunch of rough headlines for the Clinton campaign" when it's two headlines both from Murdoch. Then Chuck speaks on behalf of right-wing propaganda: "Fox is standing by its reporting that there is a 99% chance that at least five foreign intelligence actions breached Clinton's private server."
I'm sorry, proof? Nevermind. Let's go to Pete Williams for some actual reporting.
CHUCK TODD: First of all, what is the status of the FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation?
PETE WILLIAMS: There really isn't one, few want to call it an investigation. That's a term of art in the FBI. There was an initial inquiry that was opened a couple months ago based largely on media reports and a book called "Clinton Cash."
Holy crap so last summer some FBI agents asked some questions about a Clinton hit-job book that has been debunked as just that, and then stopped asking about it because nothing was there? Okay. What else ya got?
