"Remember, it's a rigged system. It's a rigged election," said Donald Trump in New Hampshire on Saturday.

 

The stunned recoil in this city suggests this bunker buster went right down the chimney. As the French put it, "Il n'y a que la verite qui blesse." It is only the truth that hurts.

 

In what sense is the system rigged?

 

Consider Big Media—the elite columnists and commentators, the dominant national press, and the national and cable networks, save FOX. Not in this writer's lifetime has there been such blanket hatred and hostility of a presidential candidate of a major party.

 

"So what?" They reply. "We have a free press!"

 

But in this election, Big Media have burst out of the closet as an adjunct of the regime and the attack arm of the Clinton campaign, aiming to bring Trump down.

 

Half a century ago, Theodore White wrote of the power and bias of the "adversary press" that sought to bring down Richard Nixon.

The Andrew Klavan Show

Is This Election Rigged?

Despite new evidence of Clinton corruption, many on the right are hammering Donald Trump for charging that this election is rigged. But does Trump have a point? Plus an advanced review of the new Mel Gibson movie.

The Klavan audio was funny!

It is a great day to be alive.

Talking Media Bias With Politico’s Alex Isenstadt (Including Project Veritas Videos)

HH: All right, let me read to you a Twitter feed from just minutes ago. Matt Lewis, very estimable Matt Lewis, questions [on Twitte], “Why should liberals want to stoke violence at a Trump rally? Theory, to help Trump win the primary.” Liz Mair, estimable Liz Mair, [responds] “Matt Lewis, 100% correct. At the time, I posted it could even have been pro-Trump forces ginning it up to push him ahead.” She continues, “Remember, Trump was not in a great position in Illinois, and was likely to lose Missouri heading into them. Then Chicago happened.” And I responded to both Liz and Matt Lewis, and to Richard Grenell’s point “This is why near-blackout of Project Veritas Action videos is so disturbing. They show the Democratic manipulations of the cycle. We are where we are, but now how we got there is important.” And I do believe that there is an effective blackout, Alex. I haven’t seen these things, I know O’Keefe is odious to the left in Manhattan-Beltway media elite. I know because of Project ACORN and all of his colorful and often controversial history, and sometimes downright, you know, he got charged with criminal wrongdoing, I believe he was cleared, but I’m not sure. O’Keefe is a controversial guy, but these are pretty damning tapes. Have you watched them, yet?

AI: Well, yeah, you know, I have, but the problem is, is that you know, there have been some, at least some believe there have been some issues with O’Keefe’s reporting in the past with the edited tapes, does he manipulate them in some way? And so there have been some issues, perhaps the primary source, but look, I mean, the problem is, is like, is look at what Donald Trump has been accused of by numerous women now. Look at the…

HH: But that’s shifting. Alex, you’re shifting back. You’re doing exactly what my team hates, which is I’m talking about Project Veritas, you want to shift it back to Trump. I talked about Trump all the first hour.

HH: I hope Trump does. If you’ll do me a favor, go over and find John Harris and say I think they really have to cover these, along with all the caveats about O’Keefe that they want to put in. But that is what is fueling this rigged standard, because you have a huge story, and it’s blacked out over 90%, whereas Access Hollywood, if it’s been played once, it’s been played, how many times you think the Access Hollywood tape’s been played on major network and cable, Alex? Just a guess since it dropped two weeks ago?

AI: Hard to say. It’s hard to say.

HH: More than 500 times?

AI: Yes, I would assume so (laughing).

HH: Yeah. More than 1,000 times?

AI: Who knows?

HH: I think so. I think it’s been played more than 1,000 times. Project Veritas not yet heard by people. That is, to me, a problem with democracy...................(Snip)
