♦ Candidate Donald Trump is the TV ratings cash cow. ♦ An embargo or boycott by Trump against a news organization can have actual bottom line impact on their finances. ♦ Many angles of reaction emanate from this disconcerting truism.
Additionally, this is 2016.
A presidential campaign year where MSM CFO’s use historical reference to budget hundreds of millions in advertising revenue from the various political campaigns. Entire annual corporate budgets are framed with this projected income in mind. If the revenue isn’t there the down stream impacts are significant.
Talking head pundit contracts were agreed upon, and written, with the corporate side projecting a specific five year revenue. Donald Trump has single-handedly turned off the spigot. This year the media must compete for revenue (ratings) more than ever before.
In order to get ratings, the media must create news.  Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook just found out how desperate they are, watch:

To be fair, this type of inquisition is not journalism. Then again, as we all know, journalism is dead.  Also, just because the inquisition is happening to the other team, doesn’t make it ok, it’s not.

Whether Hillary Clinton unexpectedly took today off to engage in scheduling collaboration with the larger elements of the radical left is an unknown. However, all of the elements are coming rapidly into confluence.
Prepare yourselves, your family and your friends, for a dangerously toxic, racially inspired, coordinated Democrat use of racism to drive an election.  The scope of what is coming has never before been witnessed in our lifetimes.

Hillary Clinton is in a complete state of electoral collapse. Her polling is far worse than what the media is capable of propping up.
Once the professional left cross a particular desperation threshold, what follows becomes predictable; this will be similar to Brexit’s “Operation Fear” only with a traditional American-left-wing twist, the use of race to drive the needed division.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Hillary Clinton’s IT technician Paul Combetta has been confirmed by all reasonable inquiry to be online user “stonetear” as originally discovered by Katica.  The Clinton camp is scrambling and took the day off today in a transparent attempt to come up with a coordinated strategy.

Today, the House Science Committee Chairman Lamar Smith is demanding answers:

(Left) Paul Combetta aka “stonetear”, (Right) Katica

Specifically, Chairman Smith is demanding an interview with Paul Combetta to get answers to the myriad of questions which surfaced yesterday as an outcome of the Stonetear discovery.

Two Platte River Network (PRN) officials Paul Combetta and Bill Thornton, plead the Fifth Amendment last week when subpoenaed to testify about Hillary Clinton’s server set-up before the House Oversight Committee.  Originally,  Science Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) demanded transcribed interviews with seven Platte River Networks employees in July 2016, but was rebuffed.

However, yesterdays reports –an outcome of Katica’s research– that Combetta was specifically asking for on-line assistance to modify emails for a “VERY VIP” client prior to extraction from the Platte River Network server system, have led Representative Smith to demand the interviews be scheduled by Friday of this week: (more…)
