Newly released emails show reporters telling the Obama Department of Justice that they were unenthusiastic about covering the tarmac meeting between former President Bill Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch during the 2016 campaign.
Clinton and Lynch met privately aboard Lynch's plane at a Phoenix airport in June 2016. Critics charged that the meeting was inappropriate given that Lynch's Department of Justice was actively investigating Hillary Clinton for her use of an unsecured private email server during her tenure as secretary of state.
Emails obtained by the American Center for Law and Justice show that reporters at the New York Times and the Washington Post told the Department of Justice's director of public affairs at the time, Melanie Newman, that while they were writing stories on the controversy, their editors were making them do it.
"My editors are still pretty interested in it and I'm hoping to put it to rest by answering just a few more questions about how the meeting came about-who approached who, how did they realize they were in the same place," the Post‘s Matt Zapotosky wrote on June 30, 2016, two days after the tarmac meeting.

And now this story has to be covered by The Washington Free Beacon, so still hardly anyone will see it.
Just like the soaring stock market, no news there. Makes me laugh at what these "journalists" consider worth putting in print. No wonder subscriptions are down.
The MSM seems like the princess in The Princess and the Pea. No matter how good it gets, that tiny lump is always going to be what they complain about.
Talk about collusion!
