Hillary Clinton Has Been Exonerated… Again
The question remains: will the media collude with conspiracy theorists to influence the 2020 election? by Nancy LeTourneau, Wash. Monthly

Goes into more than just the latest exoneration.

… Beyond getting the story wrong so many times, it is important for those who colluded to be held accountable because we are now witnessing the same group of people spread conspiracy theories about other Democrats. Peter Schweizer is the one who initiated the whole Biden/Burisma lie in his book, Secret Empires. Just in case Biden isn’t the Democratic nominee, he is about to publish a book this month titled, Profiles in Corruption, that will attempt to smear the rest of the 2020 presidential candidates.

Keep in mind that Schweizer is president of the Government Accountability Institute, which was founded by Steve Bannon and is funded by the Mercer family. He is also senior editor-at-large for Breitbart News. Jane Mayer summarizes what we learned about the Bannon-Schweizer method of collusion from Joshua Green’s book, Devil’s Bargain.

Bannon designed the [Government Accountability Institute] as a means of transmitting partisan dirt-digging to the mainstream media. He realized that, though mainstream reporters were suspicious of partisan opinion, they were open to damning facts about public figures, regardless of the sourcing. He set out, with Schweizer, to produce material that would generate mainstream coverage, and right-wing outrage.

While the Washington Post got the scoop on the fact that the Huber investigation produced nothing, neither the New York Times nor the Associated Press has produced their own story about Clinton’s exoneration (the NYT published an article by Reuters that was solely based on the Post article). That is especially troubling given that those outlets produced the most explosive stories that promoted the pay-for-play insinuations.

It is time for those mainstream media outlets to broadcast that Hillary Clinton has once again been exonerated of the false charges cooked up by her political opponents. Not only does she deserve to have her name cleared, we all need to know that the Bannon-Schweizer method of collusion isn’t going to influence the 2020 election the way it did in 2016.
