Montage of media mantra yesterday, "baked it"

Posted: Nov 1, 2016

RUSH: Montage of a bunch of people from all over the place -- CNN, Washington Post, New York Times, you name it -- over the Comey announcement on Friday and what it means. DON LEMON: This e-mail scandal, is it baked in with voters? MARK MCKINNON: Most of this is baked into the cake. PAUL BEGALA: The damage of the e-mails (snickers), that's all baked in. KARL ROVE: The people who are for her, already have this baked in. JUAN WILLIAMS: I think most of this is baked in. LANHEE CHEN: This is something that I think is relatively baked in. JOHN DICKERSON: One of the things Democrats have been saying -- hoping, praying -- is that what they say is that these views are baked in. ROBERT COSTA: ...baked into the polling. They're baked into voters' perceptions. CORNELL BELCHER: To certain extent, it's already baked in. LIS SMITH: Right, because this is baked in. ASHLEY PARKER: A narrative that's always baked in the cake. DAVID CHALIAN: Yes! There is a largely baked-in factor. NICHOLAS CONFESSORE: You've probably baked in the e-mail stuff already. BRIANNA KEILAR: This sort of goes to what's already baked in with Hillary Clinton. EDWARD-ISAAC DOVERE: We're also at the point where this issue seems to be baked in. RICK WILSON: I think a lot of them are baked in the cake about how people feel about Hillary Clinton. RUSH: Sixteen different people, all saying, "Nah, it doesn't make any difference what he said. It's already baked in! People supporting Hillary already factor it. They already baked in the emails! They already baked it in. And the people opposing Hillary? That's not gonna change anything. They've already baked it in." Now, you even heard some Republicans in this. Karl Rove was in this list of people. Robert Costa. (Well, he's not a Republican. He used to write at National Review. He is at the Washington Post now.) ;
