During MSNBC’s 10 a.m. ET hour on Wednesday, anchor Thomas Roberts gloated that the latest Donald Trump controversy pushed another Hillary Clinton scandal out of the headlines: “Trump’s comments continue to hurt his overall message, this time distracting from a potentially damaging release of e-mails that could have cost the Clinton camp precious support among independents.”
Turning to New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters, Roberts asked: “How do journalists cover the latest turn in the Trump campaign, especially given the spin that it's the media fanning the flames?” Peters complained: “...there are two different media worlds right now. There is the way that conservatives and Republicans are getting their news and then there is the way that the rest of the world is getting their news.”
