THINK OF THEM — AND ALL THEIR COLLEAGUES — AS DEMOCRATIC PARTY OPERATIVES WITH BYLINES AND YOU WON’T GO FAR WRONG: No Consequences From Media Peers for Reporters Caught Colluding With Hillary: Colleagues yawn while star reporters like Thrush and Leibovich cooperate with Clinton campaign. Now, anybody engaged in similar cooperation with Trump — or any Republican — would be made a pariah, of course.
CHRISTOPHER WILLARD: Bernie Supporters Should Vote Trump Because Hillary Will Reinforce Dynastic Globalism: “A vote for Hillary Clinton is simply a vote for an establishment insider, for politics as usual, and worse for a continuation of dynastic rule.”
NPR SAYS SMALL FIBS LEAD TO BIG LIES: Hey, NPR, your fave candidate, Hillary, is a blizzard of lies. Does that make her an Ice Age of fibs?

To be fair, conservatives have been getting the “Gorillas in the Mist” treatment from the MSM for decades.
This time around though, how much of it is projection, funded by the man who hired Rather to be his anchorman after he cooked the books in 2004, and who is allegedly a 9/11 truther?

REPORT: Steven Den Beste has died. I’ll miss him. I’ve missed his blogging for years. He was a giant in the early days of the blogosphere. And even afterward, he made his contributions, like his Unified Theory Of Left-Wing Causes. Rest in peace, Steven.
MY USA TODAY COLUMN: We’re At War Around The World, But Our Campaign Is About Groping. “A different Democratic presidential nominee — former senator James Webb, say, or even Sen. Bernie Sanders — could separate himself from Obama’s policies and their results. But Clinton can’t. Obama’s policies, and their ugly results, are Clinton’s policies as well. Better to talk about sex, even Bill’s affairs, than that.”
NOBODY TELL NOTORIOUS ROBOPHOBE MATTHEW YGLESIAS: Scarily real SEX ROBOTS to replace humans? Bizarre festival coming to UK.
The two-day event, the International Congress on Love and Sex with Robots, will explore robot emotions, personalities, humanoid robots, intelligent electronic sex hardware and entertainment robots.
The lecturer agreed to give the conference the go ahead after it was banned in Malaysia.
Dr Devlin blasted calls for sex robots to be banned.
She said: Our research aims to carve a new narrative, moving away from sex robots purely defined as machines used as sex objects, as substitutes for human partners, made by men, for men.
“A machine is a blank slate – it is what we make of it. Why should a sex robot be binary? What about the potential for therapy? It’s time for new approaches to artificial sexuality.
“Cutting edge research in technology and ethics is vital if we want to reframe ideas about the human-tech relationship.”
Earlier this week the World Health Organisation said anyone who failed to find a sexual partner should be classified as disabled – perhaps the sex robots might one day be availabe on the NHS.
Sex Robots have their fans and their detractors in roughly equal measure.
David Levy, the chess champion and author of Love and Sex with Robots said: “I believe that loving sex robots will be a great boon to society.
“There are millions of people out there who, for one reason or another, cannot establish good relationships.”
But last year some scientists called for a ban on Sex Robots and even created the Campaign Against Sex Robots.
It’s sad to see such rampant robophobia.

TEST DRIVE: 2017 Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE Manual. “Before we get into the nitty-gritty details of how this hit parade of Chevrolet performance parts translates into test results, let us remind you of how well this sub-$50K Camaro SS 1LE performed at this year’s Lightning Lap competition at Virginia International Raceway. In Turn One, its 1.11 g of grip matched that of the Ferrari 488GTB, and in the uphill esses it managed a higher average speed (121.6 mph) than the McLaren 570S. Do we really need to tell you how many 1LE Camaros you could buy for the price of either of these exotics?”
