BREAKING: Democratic Party Calling “Emergency Meeting” To Consider Replacing Hillary Over Health

Just think, if HIllary gets the boot, all we need is for Trump to have a little (non-fatal, I'm not a monster) heart attack to get a half-way decent election.

When the conspiracy was people pointing at coughing fits, bathroom breaks, out-of-shape Secret Service guys with weird objects in their hands, catatonic stares and really bizarre facial expressions it was one thing to dismiss it as a ridiculous reach by those aligned against her.
When you watch her collapse, then get dragged and shoved so forcefully into a waiting van that her feet aren't touching the ground and a shoe falls off her foot it's no longer a conspiracy. It's a fact that there's a problem.
This might be the best thing to happen to the DNC, anyways. She was toxic, and now they suddenly have an opportunity to remove her and put someone else in her place. As long as that person has no ties to the Clinton machine then whatever <i>might</i> be out there in reference to email servers, Clinton Foundation, or the rest it could only be positive.
No one wants Clinton as our President outside of the Party elites, some diehards, and people who'll blindly vote a woman as Social Justice sort of statement. The only reason Clinton was a handful of points away from Donald Trump is because it's easy to hate her less than Trump, and even with that massive advantage she was barely winning.
That said, it sure won't be Sanders. All the party elite shit aside, he quit the Democratic Party and went back to independent after she was officially nominated.

I think it's too close to the election for her to drop out.

She's not going to drop out. All the sites that are reporting that are click bait shit sites like the one posted above. No actual notable news worthy site is saying that. LOL. It's all speculation and stupid. She's a succubus. You can't get rid of them that easy.

That's one of the worst parts of this election. People are so turned off of "mainstream media" that they don't realize outlets like CNN (although they may cover stupid stuff sometimes and not always focus on what you want) actually practice journalistic integrity to report things that have been verified through multiple sources. So much of "reporting" on the internet is utter bullshit with no factual basis.
Either that or it's just criticism of media which, when substituted for news, creates a feedback loop of well-poisoning and feeding confirmation bias.

In general terms anyone who refers to 'the media' is probably not someone who's opinion on the matter you should take very seriously.

I love when Trump calls out "the crooked media" to news anchor's/journalist's faces then follows it with "not you, though."
It's like saying something racist in front of a black person, then ending it with "but you're one of the good ones."

I think we've already discussed in this thread how people seem to have problems seeing the difference between "news pieces" and "opinion pieces" whether they're online articles or television news stories.

If editing changes the meaning of source material to its antithesis, then yes it's *bad* editing and crosses the line to deceitful revisionism.
