Not at all. The Dems would - and it might be an easier sell that late in the game. However the media is really governed by profits and a big scandal will always get viewers. In addition, you'd get bonus air time while they debate what effect it would have on the imminent election.

The only thing I would add is that at this point the Clinton's have been attacked (rightly or wrongly) so often through the years that it may carry less weight than usual. Regardless if you think they are crooked or the victims of a witch hunt another investigation probably just confirms that opinion. Whereas if something similar happened to an unknown it would carry more sway.

No. The media is really governed by the liberal progressive worldview of NYC and other major urban centers and this is in great part due to the types of people who enter the field. Feeling/empathetic individuals who are strongly attracted to causes. Literary smart, not necessarily math/spacial reasoning smart. Binarys not analogues. Communalists not stoics.

Same holds for all forms of media and communication such as actors, screen play writers, authors, academics in the social sciences, public servants in policy making positions.
