Oh please

The next fake story about Hillary Clinton is now queued up.

Tonight I’m seeing a lot of tweets linking to a Washington Examiner post with the absurd headline: Clinton team blasts reporters with noise machine during Hillary fundraising speech.

OK, so let’s go to the tweets this hysterical story is based upon. Note that these tweets do not say “Clinton staffers” did this, although the Washington Examiner hack piece states this as a fact.

The video clip with the “noise machine turned on:”

Here’s what it sounds like with that static noise machine turned off at the @HillaryClinton campaign fundraiser pic.twitter.com/keyuXwQad2 — Stan Bush (@StanBushTV) April 8, 2016

Can you hear the difference?

And do you think the Clinton campaign would actually use a “noise machine” to try to prevent reporters from hearing what she was saying? In public? Reporters, who…. you know… report things?

(Public address systems sometimes have static, by the way, especially when operated by non-experts switching over to a different set of microphones after a band plays.)

Wouldn’t a “noise machine” also prevent the audience from hearing her, or was this a super-special noise machine that only targeted reporters?

Please tell me this isn’t going to be a real story in the rest of the media. Somebody, please.
