Edit: Also, you are a massive fool for linking breitbart, do we need to explain how bad it is to you? :P

Theres nothing on CNN or Politico anyhow.

Bit harsh eh? Personally I don't mind reading a dodgy source now & again, especially if it's got an audience that's taking it serious.

Breitbart is a great online fiction magazine. Up there with Clarkesworld. What's great is that their central theme is stories that look like current events if you're on the far right wing, giving great insights into this type of personality.

Yeah, it's basically the Salon of the right. Then again, it hasn't defended pedophiles and I've found that it's somewhat less likely than Salon to post blatant lies.

Hey man, it's fair and balanced.  Not their fault if you BENGAZI BENGAZI INVESTIGATION BENGAZI assume they are BENGAZI FBI FBI LIBYA saying something that they are not saying.

Quote
One intelligence source told Fox News that FBI agents would be “screaming” if a prosecution is not pursued because “many previous public corruption cases have been made and successfully prosecuted with much less evidence than what is emerging in this investigation.”

Problem being there is this weird quirk in the US criminal justice system.  In order to bring a criminal prosecution against someone, you need to actually accuse them of a crime.

Maybe they can arrest her for 24 hours and see if she confesses to something before they have to cut her loose?  Oh wait... they tried that already.

Look at that face. That's got to be a confession of guilt right there.

Nobody links the Salon here though. And the last time someone brought up the Salon in regards to the pedophilia thing, it was basically a non-issue. Actually, the only time the Salon ever comes up on this forum is to toss that line out there, and have it quickly refuted.

Man, people should link the Salon here so we can chase them away too, because the Breitbart links seem to come in once every couple of weeks.

As long as that far right & far left have an influence in American politics the news sources seem relevant to the topic, at least to me. Hey to me there isn't a single Republican candidate who doesn't seem bug-humping insane, so in a way extreme right wing media gives me more insight into why these candidates exist & why they are taken serious then many more reputable sources.

Even Bush? Who seems to be the most moderate of the group.

Clinton has told a heckler that they are "very rude"

She can detect social cues now, people. She's almost fully trained!

General election polls before the Iowa caucus have very little predictive value, if in fact they have any at all.  A lot of factors that push those numbers right now will be a distant memory by November.
Should I just copypaste this response to any polls that reflect negatively on Clinton, and save you the time and effort?

Although pretty soon, that won't be a valid response. 20 days.

That would save me repeating myself.  Please do.

The influence of Salon and Fox on American politics is like the influence of Luxembourg and Russia on world affairs.
