Remember the discussions of “optics” and trying to manufacture the perception of support for Hillary Clinton? It’s all a pretense; a fraud; a corporate media ruse.
Well, a great example comes today from “The Hill”, an on-line media outlet promoting the speech of candidate Clinton. Notice anything, well, ‘odd’ about the picture:
It’s a 100% photoshopped image (link) assembling multiple rally crowd pictures to give the impression of Hillary Clinton in St. Petersburg.
Hillary is holding a rally at the St. Pete Colliseum in down town St. Petersburg. Located at 353 4th Ave North, the Coliseum venue holds approximately 4,000 people. Hillary Clinton didn’t come close to filling it:
A couple of hundred people showed up [door count puts the number at 171] within a St. Petersburg venue capable of holding in excess of 4,000 without seating (link).
But the media,… well, in the land of make believe, they just can’t help but manufacture the optics because the same media are selling an entirely different story with their polling:
At this point, the action of the media is beyond ridiculous. Some in the media even note their own embarrassing behavior:
[…] Polls shows that journalism is one of the least respected professions in the country, and with Trump calling out media organizations for their bias, widespread slanted reporting is bound to reinforce this point — and to backfire.
Trump’s campaign is throwing down the gauntlet to the political class. If journalists are seen as the mouthpiece of that class, they may soon find themselves covering Trump’s inauguration. (link)
As if on a very predictable cue, pollster Patrick Murray strolls in to deliver his narrative.
With ABC (Disney) dropping their media poll on Saturday night, and with Monmouth today having joined the collective, the circle of wagons has closed and our prior prediction stands affirmed.
The photo shop pics are amateurish at best. All of her rallies are nothing more than choreographed photo ops. No substance at all.

The head of the Hawaiian Dept. of Health who’d declared the alleged fraudulent long form BC as the “official” BC was a member of the same Indonesian cult to which Bari’s mom once belonged (whose late founder Bari greatly resembles) and also had ties to Chicago. When she mysteriously died as a result of a small plane crash over the water between Oahu and Molokai, a crash that everyone else survived with no injuries (including her initially), the person who replaced her as the head of the HDH is a Commie from – wait for it – Chicago.

Love the comments on Twitter (in the link). You cannot fool people with a obvious photoshopped picture.

It isn’t photo shopped. The image is from 19th April 2016, Think about it? They can’t have an actual photo of an impending rally so they have to use a place holder image. What is so hard to understand that they would use an older image until the live stream starts?

Trump is going to crush in that first debate. Sanders supporters and commonsense independents will be awaken. Many more in the hard hit areas of the country of all demographics will wake up. After that the media will have no where to run, so their heads will explode (figuratively). It will be similar to Trump’s home stretch in May, remember Trump wasn’t supposed to be over 50% in NY.

She might not even survive the debate. I wonder what kind of chemical cocktail they will have to cook up just to keep her standing.

If you look at the photoshopped image, underneath Hillary’s left hand, it appears to be Bill Clinton(red tie) and Chelsea. That makes this even more humorous.
