CNN is now mixing in pure lies with their usual selective reporting and narrative spinning. The whole "it's illegal to read the Podesta emails, but not for us at CNN, so get all your information from us" (not verbatim) is one good example of that.

MSNBC has had some drone riots lately, with Morning Joe and crew briefly exiting the matrix to talk about the utterly obvious pay-for-play scheme run by the Clintons, a scheme that has often amounted to pay-for-weapons with brutal foreign regimes. They also discussed, but missed the point, an email where Clinton campaign staff were prepping for how to deal questions about Bill (e.g. "How is what Bill Clinton did any different than what Bill Cosby did?"). It was such a marked shift in tone for MSNBC that a lot of Youtube commenters noticed as well. It's on their official channel even.
