Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) passed blame on to the press for giving attention to revelations uncovered by WikiLeaks, which made public emails by top Clinton aide John Podesta and the Democratic National Committee.
When asked by host Jake Tapper if then-President Barack Obama could have done more to strike back against Russia, who is widely believed to be responsible for the WikiLeaks material, Pelosi called the press “accomplices.”
“Well, I think that President Obama handled it as he received information of that — of the highest confidence,” she said. “I do think, with all due respect in the world for the press, that the press could have done a better job, instead of printing every email that came out, and saying this comes to you from Vladimir Putin, they were, hah, hah, hah, John Podesta said this or that. I think the press were accomplices in the undermining of our election by the Russians .....................

It's more and more obvious that she is flippin' going, or is completely, senile.
Like a rabid dog, attempting to bite anyone who gets too close. Are the Dems actually going to turn on their media lap dogs??
This soap opera just continues to amaze.

Oh I see, she has lost it because she is criticizing the press.
But the right is free to call the press enemies of the state and 'the terrorist media' and the president can call them 'enemy of the people'. I see how this goes.

...the irony is she is criticizing the MSM, the loyal press....the press that is completely owned by the DNC.

The press that, nearly without fail, has supported her, and her party through the last quarter century.
She turned on them. If that isn't just a tad bit crazy, not sure what qualifies as crazy. If she were out of office, I could see it. She's not--which is a shame, really...
So, yes, she's losing her, IMHO, somewhat tenuous grip on reality. Turn on an ally, when your party is in the minority, and shows no sign of righting themselves...yep, good tactics there.

The MSM is not owned by them. FOX is MSM, would you not agree? I don't see CNN always being nice to the DNC. I look at it every day. So if they own it, they are managing it poorly.

Thanks for the observation....WikiLeaks already answered this question.

No I would say most people think she is nuts because her views rarely seem to touch reality anymore...
this attack on the press is just more circumstantial information confirming that thought.
eta: I find it amusing, maybe if they keep attacking the press some of them will go back to something resembling journalistic integrity.
