Colin Powell: Bill Clinton Still ‘Dicking Bimbos’ Jonathan Ernst/Reuters Based on his leaked emails, it seems a safe assumption that Colin Powell will not endorse or vote for Hillary Clinton. After Democratic megadonor Jeffrey Leeds emailed Powell on July 24, 2014, to tell him he’d gotten Rudy Giuliani to admit that President Obama is a “decent man” and that Hillary Clinton is “not stoppable” for the 2016 election, Powell confessed: “I would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend I respect.” He noted that she is a 70-year-old person with “long track record,” but is hampered by being “greedy, not transformational, with a husband still dicking bimbos at home (according to the [New York Post]).” As previously reported, other emails from the Powell hacking show the former secretary of State slamming Clinton’s “hubris” and calling Donald Trump a “ national disgrace.” Read it at @WillRahn

CBS “clarifies” editing Bill Clinton’s remarks on Hillary fainting posted at 12:31 pm on September 14, 2016 by Jazz Shaw There’s been an update to the story which John covered last night dealing with CBS deceptively editing an interview with Bill Clinton about his wife’s fainting episodes. For those who missed this moment of perceived media bias, the short version is that Bill gave an answer to Charlie Rose which seemed to contain some relevant information regarding Hillary Clinton’s health. In the original interview, when asked about her fainting spells he said, ““Frequently — well not frequently, rarely, on more than one occasion, over the last many, many years, the same sort of thing’s happened to her…” That’s the original version which everyone saw. But when the same story was covered on the evening news, Clinton’s answer was mysteriously shortened so the sentence began with, “Rarely, on more than one occasion, over the last many, many years…” Needless to say, the implications were rather obvious for many observers. In response to John’s piece, Richard Huff, Executive Director of Communications at CBS, supplied us with the following (unedited) statement. The clip in question from former President Clinton’s interview with Charlie Rose ran in its entirety on CBS THIS MORNING, CBSNews.com and on CBSN, CBS News’ 24/7 digital streaming news service. One clip that ran on CBS Evening News was edited purely for time while on deadline for the live broadcast. I didn’t add any emphasis because I don’t want to distill the CBS response in any way. That’s what we were given. And there is no apology contained in the statement… it’s just a claim that Clinton’s answer was “edited purely for time.” With the official response out of the way, allow me to interject a single follow-up question. Are you kidding me? It was a fairly lengthy interview and they used a good bit of it in the report. The total amount of time they saved in the editing process by removing those four words was less than three seconds. And even if we were to believe that there was a pressing need to shorten the segment by two and a half seconds, speaking as someone who’s had to be involved in segment editing in the past, this defies credibility. You shorten a segment by removing questions and answers which don’t provide enough impact to the story. If you are going to edit a particular response, you might cut out the end of an answer when the subject begins wandering off into unrelated material or pausing too long to gather their thoughts. You don’t clip out the beginning of the answer when the subject is directly addressing the question being asked and (in this case) providing what would obviously be some explosive and relevant information. Granted, everything that Huff said in his response is accurate. The full answer did air in other shows. But the one where they chose to clip it was the CBS Evening News. You know… the sterling standard for journalism where busy people who can’t watch cable news all day supposedly go for the most important information? Sorry, Richard, but we’re not buying it. This episode is disturbingly similar to when CNN Headline News blurred out the New Jersey hero’s Trump t-shirt. We can’t definitively conclude that it’s company-wide policy, but somebody in the organization made the decision to do that and it’s a decision which happened at a point in the chain of command where it made it onto the air. This applies to both the CNN and CBS incidents, but the difference is that CNN actually apologized for it and called it an error in judgement. CBS is apparently going to stick to their guns and claim that this was just a technical issue. To say the explanation strains credibility is an understatement.

Momentum shifting Trump's way in Nevada, poll finds By Eugene Scott, CNN Updated 1:48 PM ET, Wed September 14, 2016 Story highlights"The momentum has swung toward Trump," pollster Patrick Murray saidTrump has 44% of voters' support while Clinton has 42% Washington (CNN)Donald Trump is leading his rivals in Nevada, a state where Hillary Clinton was leading the pack in July, in a four-way Monmouth University poll released Wednesday. The Republican presidential nominee has 44% support of voters while his Democratic rival is at 42%, within the poll's margin of sampling error. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson stands at 8% and the state's "none of these candidates" option received 3% of support. "The race in Nevada is still tight, but the momentum has swung toward Trump," said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute. Ohio poll: Donald Trump has narrow lead over Clinton The poll was conducted September 11 through 13 in the days after Clinton's recent pneumonia diagnosis was made public. Green Party candidate Jill Stein will not appear on Nevada's ballot. Trump has the support of 88% of self-identified Republicans while 90% of Democrats back Clinton. But independents in the state overwhelmingly support Trump over Clinton -- 43% to 29%. Clinton is significantly ahead of Trump with non-white voters, 63% to 28%, but Trump continues to carry most white voters, 51% to 33%. Clinton takes half of the female vote, beating Trump, who has 40%. But Trump is ahead of Clinton with men and has 48% of the male vote to Clinton's 34%. "These demographic shifts are within the margin of error for these demographic groups, but they suggest that Trump has had a little more success solidifying his base in Nevada than Clinton has," Murray said. Despite Trump's lead, only 30% of Nevada voters have a favorable opinion of Trump. More than half -- 55% -- hold an unfavorable view of the Republican candidate. Clinton has a 34% favorable rating and a 54% unfavorable rating. The Monmouth University poll was conducted by telephone with 406 Nevada residents that are likely to vote in November. The survey has a sample margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
