But where is the proof that the truth matters in Hillary's media coverage? Especially with the NY Times.

Yet here is what the Obama DOJ said in court:
"The Obama administration told a federal court Wednesday that former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was within her legal rights to use of her own email account, to take the messages with her when she left office and to be the one deciding which of those messages are government records that should be returned."
"In the most complete legal defense of Mrs. Clinton, Justice Department lawyers insisted they not only have no obligation, but no power, to go back and demand the former top diplomat turn over any documents she hasn’t already given — and neither, they said, can the court order that."

What's interesting is that this is only being reported in the Far Right media like the Washington Times and News Max here:
"Lawyers with the Justice Department on Thursday told a federal court that Hillary Clinton had the legal right to use her own email account and broke no laws in how she handled those messages, The Washington Times is reporting.
"The lawyers defended the former secretary of state in a legal filing, saying they have no right to order Clinton to turn over any more emails or documents than those she has already given back to the government."
"There is no question that Secretary Clinton had authority to delete personal emails without agency supervision — she appropriately could have done so even if she were working on a government server," the DOJ lawyers said, according to the Times. "Under policies issued by both the National Archives and Records Administration (‘NARA’) and the State Department, individual officers and employees are permitted and expected to exercise judgment to determine what constitutes a federal record."

Yet, the mainstream media has for once not followed the Right wing media here. Their silence on this development are deafening. Certainly the NY Times isn't breathing a word about it.
Because only news that is potentially damaging to Hillary is actually news. Like after seeing Biden on Stephen Colbert last night he hardly sounds like a man who is ready to run for President-and the door to running in 2016 if not slammed shut is certainly closing quickly.
But when there is any innuendo that Joe possibly could run it's front page news. This is not being talked about nearly so much.
I don't buy that Hillary is in any trouble at all.

However, the media certainly has probably hurt her numbers on trustworthiness temporarily at least by being so one sided in their coverage. Emails is the only thing the media wants to talk about.
I get it that they're desperate to show she's in trouble but they are failing in their job at this point. Creating an inaccurate picture just to harm Hillary is pretty embarrassing for these allegedly tough but fair journalists especially at the Times.
If there was any fairness they would at least be talking about what the DOJ said yesterday. But it hasn't made a dent in coverage.
