FBI reopens probe into Clinton emails
Democracy means an informed public Bolt wants an uninformed one that allows him to lie and misinform. He was found guilty under Section 18C&D of doing just that and he hasn't stopped.
Straight off the mark Andrew Bolt starts with a lie. When American media is backing away from this story and branding it right wing propaganda Andrew Bolt is throwing it like a Molotov cocktail on bus. Furthermore you will never see Andrew Bolt retract this story or say he got it wrong. "Republican. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) claimed that a letter from FBI Director James Comey indicated that the FBI had “reopened” its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state, triggering a media firestorm. But Comey’s letter says no such thing, and according to CBS News, it’s “premature” and “going too far” to say the investigation has been “reopened.”
Chaffetz’s spin has triggered an avalanche of breathless coverage. Many news outlets quickly reported that the FBI had “reopened” their investigation, including Politico, Fox News, NPR, USA Today,
among others. All three cable news networks have covered the story
non-stop since it broke, often adopting the “re-opening” framing and
suggesting the news is a major election bombshell. Republican
presidential nominee Donald Trump himself subsequently echoed that language, adding that Clinton’s actions were “worse than Watergate.”
If Democracy requires an informed public and money talks as it does here how can we expect an improved Democracy in Australia without Sections 18C and D? Bolt wants to increase his influence by being allowed to print lies which simply amounts to propaganda of any sort dressed as freedom of speech.
"CBS Justice/Homeland Security correspondent Jeff Pegues reported
that sources told him that it was both “premature” and “going too far”
to declare that the investigation had been reopened. (While Pegues
delivered his report, CBS on-screen text declared “Clinton Investigation
Reopened.”
Media Freak Out At FBI Letter, Disregard Facts And Run With GOP's False Description Of Clinton Email Review
The truth
On MSNBC Live, NBC Justice Department
correspondent Pete Williams reported that Comey’s July announcement that
there would be no charges in the case effectively concluded the case
but there are remaining “evidentiary matters” to be resolved before it
can be considered fully closed.
But
Williams noted that if the review is pertaining to the amount of
classified emails sent, it would not change the earlier determination
that a chargeable offense had not occurred. Williams also reported that
“senior officials” have told him that it doesn’t appear that the
Clintons, the Clinton campaign or the State Department had failed to
hand over emails to the FBI and that the agency had found them some
other way. Fox Renews Calls For A Special Prosecutor To Investigate Hillary Clinton Despite No Evidence Of Impropriety
