Opacity of ogling onomatomania II...






Hat-tip Zero Hedge. We knew about Google; we knew about Facebook (who are trying to blame algorithms [must be Al Gore Rhythms]: "Even though the math part of the data is unbiased, if the data encodes these social biases, it's hard to get away from that") but now pretty much all the major social networks (Google, Facebook, Buzzfeed, Instagram, Snapchat) are "fixing" their feeds...and I don't mean repairing.



How is it possible they missed (not slightly corrected) the biggest story in the USA* for so long?

* That the Hillary Clinton email-server investigation will be re-opened. The Director of the FBI (independently i.e. ignoring Attorney General Loretta Lynch [I wonder why?!!]) sent a letter to Congress saying that they had discovered e-mails that were relevant to the investigation. All this was ignored and stories with forty or more times fewer mentions getting preference. Wow, that data encoding social biases sure is effective.



Some say it could be payback; the whining Democratic supporters and Clinton shills and HRC herself are being very hypocritical; this is certainly not unprecedented...oh, against a Democrat nominee maybe it is.



Anyway, what we have here is...a popcorn overload!




Update 21:30 GMT: Ex CIA: "Nobody uses a private email server for official business. Period. Full stop."...[Link] "Anyone else who did such things in the government would long ago have been tried, convicted and sent to jail."



Exactly.

Odious open obscurantism...




They're right: "The Clintons are perhaps the most corrupt political family in American history. The Bushes may be second, but even they maintained a certain decorum in the White House. Neither Bush president would think of cussing out a secret service man or angrily hurl a White House antique at a spouse. The Clintons are at heart common grifters. They’re lying, vulgar confidence tricksters who continue to enjoy pushing the criminal envelope because they’re used to getting away with their crimes. Both should be in prison. Right now."

Yep; both should be in prison for various different things too. [edit] The cartoon mentions 'corrupt media' and CNN but to be honest it should have also named and shamed NBC, CBS and especially MSNBC too. Disgracefully biased - such blatant omission distortion and sometimes downright lies should be criminal acts. Almost on a par with the BBC!

Overt omissions III...




The current tranche* of deeply disturbing and highly incriminating emails from Wikileaks about Hillary Clinton (and the Obama administration in general) is just so massive that ignoring it should be a criminal act. Current MSM reporting...almost zilch. The below for instance:



Hat-tip: Weasel Zippers. For interest, HERE and HERE my previous thoughts on the Benghazi disgrace. Again: "Trump needs to blow this thing up."



* from John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign Chairman and former President Clinton's ex Chief of Staff
