The Daily Caller is serving up some seriously sloppy Clinton campaign coordination via Wikileaks. The latest? It appears that Donna Brazile was providing the Clinton campaign with debate and townhall questions for far longer than initially anticipated. According to the Daily Caller:
In the March 12 exchange, Brazile mentions Martin by name and offers to provide more than just the one town hall question that she is known to have shared with the campaign.
“I’ll send a few more. Though some questions Roland submitted,” Brazile wrote to Palmieri in the March 12 email thread, which is entitled “From time to time I get the questions in advance.”
The question she provided to Palmieri matched verbatim a question that an exonerated death row inmate asked Clinton the next night.
CNN and host Jake Tapper have strongly denied sharing that question or any other with Brazile or anyone else.
But an email released on Monday casts new doubt on the network’s claims that it never shares questions with outsiders.
On March 5, Brazile tipped the Clinton team off to a question that was to be asked the next day at a debate that was hosted by CNN’s Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper.
“One of the questions directed to HRC tomorrow is from a woman with a rash,” Brazile wrote to Podesta and Palmieri.
“Her family has lead poison and she will ask what, if anything, will Hillary do as president to help the ppl of Flint.”
Look. We understand that many in the media believe that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. Whether you agree with them or not is besides the point. The job of a journalist is not to tip the scales in favor of any one candidate, but to investigate the records of the respective candidates in this campaign and present them to the American people.
This looks an awful lot like CNN taking sides here. Remember this incident, and process future stories accordingly.
