Another email released by Wikileaks provides a deeper look into the inner-machinations of Camp Clinton, where "brown and women" pundits were to be deployed in order to shame other reporters and people on social media into covering Hillary Clinton favorably.
In the July, 2015 email, Clinton top aide Neera Tanden writes to John Podesta about how then-New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg complained to New York Times head Arthur Schulzburger about what he deemed as unfair coverage.
Tanden said that Bloomberg's complaint made the Times staff more "conscious" of the way they covered the mayor, and suggested Clinton could engage the same tactic to ensure favorable news coverage -- the difference being that in addition to Clinton calling in a complaint, "brown and women" pundits could be deployed as a way of "shaming the Times and others on social media" into covering Clinton more favorably.
Below is the email, in which Tanden tells Podesta about deploying browns and females and names reporters that they could "cultivate":
Needless to say, if it had been revealed that the Trump campaign engaged in such a cynical, racist form of manipulation, we'd never hear the end of it.
