AIM Editor Talks About Hillary’s Legal Problems

Accuracy in Media

AIM Editor Roger Aronoff was a guest last week on The Tami Jackson Show to talk about Aronoff’s recent column “More Evidence of Clinton Corruption Yields Little Interest from the Media.”

While the FBI continues its twin investigations into Hillary Clinton’s conflicts of interest at the State Department and transmission of classified information on her homebrew server, the Obama administration and the mainstream media continue to work to minimize the controversy and ensure that Mrs. Clinton is elected president. Most of all, the media have refused to admit that this is more than just a Hillary Clinton scandal.

“And Obama, part of the reason they won’t indict is because he sent her a number of emails,” said Aronoff on the radio show.  “And so he knew what was going on—or if he didn’t he should have. And this is not just a Hillary scandal, [it] is an Obama administration scandal. But the media won’t ever go there.”

“They just want to help her coronation to become president, and therefore they’re willing to overlook really massive amounts of evidence,” said Aronoff.

“Ted Cruz is worse than a puppet — he is a Trojan horse, being used by the party bosses attempting to steal the nomination from Mr. Trump.” – Donald Trump campaign response, April 5, 2016

After Ted Cruz won the Wisconsin primary, some pro-Trump Twitter accounts imploded. Oftentimes using blatantly fake “news” stories from questionable sources, these accounts often claimed that Ted Cruz engaged in voter fraud to steal the Wisconsin primary from the rightful winner, Donald Trump.

This is “sore loser” on steroids.

But even those silly tweets did not compare to the response from Donald Trump’s campaign itself, where Ted Cruz was accused of “coordinating with his own SuperPAC’s [sic] (which is illegal) who completely control him.”

Here is the response, as tweeted by Robert Costa.

Here are some of the funniest-yet-most-pathetic responses to Ted Cruz’s win in Wisconsin:

Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s unhinged ally Roger Stone has been pushing the fake narrative that if former Trump delegates vote for Cruz, they are somehow traitorous thugs who deserve a personal visit to their hotel rooms.

In order to win the nomination, a candidate needs to acquire 1237 delegates prior to the Republican convention. If none of the candidates achieve the magic number of delegates, the delegates hammer it out at the convention, which will take place in Cleveland, Ohio from July 18 to 21, 2016.
