Wikileaks: Colbert Report Gave Clinton Foundation Control Over Production

Leaked email: Comedy skits produced to make Clintons look good

The Colbert Report apparently colluded with the Clinton Foundation to create a favorable public opinion of the controversial organization, according to an email released by Wikileaks.

In the 2013 email, Craig Minassian, the foundation’s Chief Communications Officer, said he had the comedy show produce two skits about the Clinton Global Initiative which promoted positive aspects of the Clinton Foundation.

“John, I hope you got a chance to see The Colbert Report‘s two special episodes I had them do about CGI University that we taped in St. Louis this weekend,” wrote Minassian. “This is the link to last night’s with a sketch about commitments and the monologue and WJC [Bill Clinton] interview aired Monday.”

“Hope you enjoy and looking forward to your feedback. Next will be your Colbert appearance!”

There has to be something similar going on with SNL. It is obscene how they demonize Trump and are still praising Hillary 3 weeks after election. Along of promoting Hillary, they appear to be covering their ass for being wrong. Instead of being barely funny, SNL is just sad and maddening.

Any one else notice the MSNBC adds, ran on DVR recorded Comedy Central programs. Maybe more stations, but I have noticed it on Comedy Central. You cannot rewind, and you cannot re watch. It is not recorded, but somehow inserted in DVR recordings. Their anchors are praised as super heros, on the front line and reporting the real news. Again, you cannot rewind to re watch the ridiculousness of the "inserted" adds. I have never seen anything like it!

Just wait until Trump gets things turned around and actually working like they should be, then all these wannabe news stations will be singing a different tune especially if their corporate centers start making money. But I doubt the MSM will ever be normal ever again. They all destroyed themselves when they got into bed with the dirty Clinton's. The same holds true with the newspapers at least what's left of them.
