For the Record - MSM and the Trump Setup

by Kim D.

On Friday, October 7th the Trump tapes dropped and the timing (two days before the second presidential debate) appeared fishy:

Just amazing to me that @NBCNews won't comment today on why they could not manage to publish the tape even though they knew it was there.

Agreed. This tape, which has allegedly been conveniently sitting on the shelves at NBC collecting dust for 11 years, could have been released during the primary. The question we all need to be asking is why NBC waited until now to drop this bomb.

NBC had tape 11 yrs. Apprentice producer says they have more & worse. So why not release in 2015? In March? Why wait till October? #MSMBias https://t.co/WCEEHhZKd6

According to Stephen Miller of Heat Street,

NBC’s behavior surrounding the tape is highly suspicious and raises several questions: 

• Stelter reports that NBC found the tape on Monday, and were still debating how to report on its existence when it was leaked to the Washington Post on Friday. What really was taking NBC so long? It only took the Post a few hours to publish the material.

• Was NBC sitting on the audio because it was worried about the damage it would do to Billy Bush?

• Why did someone within NBC feel compelled to leak the audio to the Washington Post? Was it because NBC never actually intended to release the audio until after the election? 

Is this a coordinated effort between the Clinton campaign and the MSM? Some think so especially after hearing Anderson Cooper's grilling of Trump over the tape, essentially getting Donald to claim he was guilty of participating in "locker room" talk and nothing else.

 

This exchange was scripted and, some believe, intentional as a set up for more damning revelations about Mr. Trump's lewd behavior towards women. It appears this tactic is working; since the debate, the stories are flooding the Internet:

October 10th - Law Newz: Turns Out Donald Trump Attacked Women Who Accused Him of Sexual Assault. This Year.
October 10th - Media Matters: Meet Jill Harth, One of the Trump Sexual Assault Accusers His Media Surrogates Ignore.
October 10th - Los Angeles Times: 'Far worse' comments by Trump? Pressure grows on TV execs to release unedited 'Apprentice' tapes.
October 11th - Patch: Gloria Allred Representing Clients Accusing Trump of Sexual Abuse or Harassment, She Says.
October 11th - Independent: Donald Trump: More women come forward alleging they were sexually assaulted by Republican candidate.
October 12th - USA Today: Ex-Apprentice' contestant Maria Kanellis: Donald Trump is a hypocrite.
October 12th - Vox: The sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump, explained.
October 12th - Buzzfeed: Teen Beauty Queens Say Trump Walked in on Them Changing.

Shall I go on . . . there are tons more. So what's the point? While it's hard to give Donald a complete pass on his pre and post presidential-run behavior, this smells of a coordinated attack which would be fine if Hillary and her many corrupt dealings were given the same attention by the liberal mainstream media.
