The Mainstream Media Doing Damage Control For Hillary

The Los Angeles Times is about as biased a member of the mainstream media as there is.  Today, it has an article reporting that the FBI is about to start interviewing Hillary Clinton's top aides as well as Hillary herself in connection with the FBI's ongoing investigation of Hillary's private unsecured email system and the Clinton Foundation.  It's important news because it confirms that the investigation is coming near to a conclusion, but we all knew already that the interviews are imminent.  It's been in the news for a while.  So why is the LAT reporting today again that the FBI is about to speak to Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills and Hillary Clinton?  It's actually to try to defend Hillary.  After spending one paragraph on the "news" of the interviews, the LAT then goes on at length to explain that Hillary is unlikely to be indicted according to "many legal experts".  It then spouts most of the Clinton campaign talking points about dealing with the FBI investigation of her email.  It seems that after a week in which Hillary lost five of six primaries/caucuses to Bernie Sanders (and by a lot), the LAT wants to allay the concerns of California voters.  After all, it's not too long until the California primary, and the polls put that race fairly close.  If Bernie were to win big in California, it just might spook some of the superdelegates into switching sides.

It's funny to think that an article about the FBI investigation of Clinton's shady practices is a defense for her candidacy, but I guess all I can say is "Welcome to the ways of the mainstream media."
