Wolf Blitzer was receiving interview questions from the Clinton campaign when he was going to interview candidate Trump. While this isn't evidence of lying it is certainly evidence of an unethical relationship between the media and the candidates that it is supposed to be covering impartially. To collude with one of the campaigns is effectively allowing the campaign to skirt FEC regulations and utilize the strength of an entire news corporation to influence the outcome of an election. One could argue that this has the same impact as fake news.

- tomp 10y agoAbsolutely, that's my point. You can hardly call yourself a journalist if the point of your reporting is to bias the public; whether to do that by outright lying or just with skillful deception by omission is besides the point.
