  on saturday the press began to figure out that they had been conned by republicans again but not before the clinton email news lead in swing state newspapers 
  the clinton email news leads in almost every single one of the big swing state papers this morning observes politico reporter gabriel debenedetti the clinton email news leads almost every single one of the big swing state papers this morning  pictwittercomtreowhnmm

  the fbi investigation spread like wildfire last night this is the result of the press once again taking republican smoke and claiming theres fire 
  this observation isnt mine along the washington posts greg sargent pointed out that there is only an upside and no penalty for doing this  for both republicans and the press this is how gop hypeaheadofthefacts gets rewarded by medias willful perpetuation of smokefire effect zero penalty only upside httpstcovmzltracl

  even though early polling shows there hasnt been an impact in swing states  and even though the majority of americans have already made up their minds each time her emails are brought up hillary clinton falls in the polls 
  a gallup poll showed that emails are the most americans have heard about clinton not that she is the most qualified candidate in modern history or how her policy on paid family leave might impact them  but the emails that she was already cleared on 
  even though one result of the comey letter has been to energize clinton supporters  at a time when she was facing a likely win that can create complacency this still isnt an acceptable practice 
  republican fbi director james comey finds himself in the hot seat today after sending a letter that has no precedent obviously would impact an election that was then just  days out and is now  days out and actually bore no information well thats inaccurate the letter bore inaccurate smoke and innuendo that has already been cleared but the damage has already been done 
  while ron fournier and others suggested that democratic objections to this unprecedented violation of the rules by comey was just more partisan folly the truth is even more disturbing 
  by even suggesting that objecting to violating a longstanding rule is partisan we are allowing the press to enable republicans to continue pretending there is no reality 
  in reality no matter which side of the aisle you are on its a rule not to comment on ongoing investigations that could impact an election the reasons for this are obvious and the potential ramifications for abuse are terrifying for both parties  for instance its obvious that the fbi is investigating the trump campaign for coordination with russia but we dont headline that because the fbi hasnt commented on that because 
  to do so would violate the rule not to interfere with elections 
  so its really quite frightening to hear people claim objecting to violating this rule is partisan even as the trump campaign is benefiting from the adherence to said rule if the rule applies to donald trump it should apply to hillary clinton 
  asking that this value be applied to both sides is not partisan 
  we must stick to reality we must not allow our need to appear objective cause us to fall so far down the rabbit hole that we enable republicans to keep drinking the nofact koolaid 
  the press did the republican smoke is a real fire thing all through president obamas terms at one point claiming he was implicated in benghazi emails because a reporter allowed a republican aide to read him said emails  and of course it turned out that the emails didnt say what the aide told the reporter but that was learned much later and as everyone knows a lie travels faster than the truth 
  and now american voters in swing states who read papers will think the fbi is investigating clinton 
  so comeys letter did damage hillary clinton even if she wins the election the letter damaged her and down ballot democrats 
  the media never learns they take republican smoke and innuendo and treat it as fact every time they look like fools to those who know there was no there in the comey letter but the average voter doesnt live for political updates 
  the irresponsible damage is done 
  the media got suckered into buying the gops bogus clinton fbi email tale added by sarah jones on sat oct th
