Confronted with accusations of media bias, NBC journalist Kristen Welker actually insisted that there is “no proof” of collusion between journalists and Hillary Clinton. Talking with Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway on Monday's MTP Daily, Welker asserted, “Kellyanne, there is no proof there is any type of the collusion that you're talking about.”

After Conway scoffed, “Oh, my goodness,” the journalist denied “that there is any media bias that you're talking about.” The Republican spokeswoman shot back: “Did you see the journalists donations... that by a margin of 27-1, journalists, working reporters have given money to Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump?”

In fact, this study by the liberal Center for Public Integrity found that 96 percent of 2016 campaign cash from journalists went to Clinton.

And that example is just the start. The recent dump of WikiLeaks documents found that New York Times correspondent Mark Leibovich, in an e-mail to Clinton aide Jennifer Palmieri, said of interview questions for the Democrat: “I wanted the option to use all -- and you could veto what you didn't want. That's why I selected the 5 or 6 I sent to you.”

Politico ’s Glenn Thrush, in an e-mail to Clinton campaign operative John Podesta, said, “I have become a hack. I will send u the whole section that pertains to u. Please don’t share or tell anyone I did this. Tell me if I fucked up anything.”

A new study by the Media Research Center found that Trump doesn’t have a single major newspaper endorsement.

“No proof” of “collusion” between Clinton and the media?
