DNC-Media Plants

Overheard

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the DNC-media complex - (Apologies to DDE)

“ This is utterly ridiculous. CNN should be incredibly ashamed and people should be fired over this. As it is, there's no mention of it on their front page despite the fact that they put out a statement about the gay general/Hillary supporter last night.  Michelle spots a John Edwards supporter, an Obama supporter, and a union activist among the questioners. [Mary Katharine Ham] CALLER:  I was listening to you from the opening hour about Hillary planting questions, and I recalled the time when she was on Late Night with David Letterman in her first Senate run, and she answered a whole bunch of questions about the history of New York that David proposed to her, and, of course, she got them all right because she's the smartest woman in the world.  But it later leaked out from a staffer that she was given the questions before she appeared on the show. CALLER:  Thank you.  Back when George Bush senior was running for president, I went to a town hall meeting and in the chance that I would ask him a question or get a chance to do that, I worked very hard to come up with a well-worded question about Supreme Court justices, and then the next day in the media, the local media they said that Republicans had obviously planted the questions, so I called them up and said, "Why did they say that?"  They said, "Well, because the regular people wouldn't be able to come up with questions like that on their own," and I think that Hillary is worried in her campaign that the people are not asking the right questions, aren't intelligent enough to get the right questions out for her status on whatever she wants to talk about. CALLER: But what the problem is, is they don't point this out to everybody and say, "Look, this is a major character flaw.  This means that you can't trust a person like this.  They're willing to fool you. They're trying to fool you about who they are," and it goes right back to what you've already said: How can we fool 'em today? ”
