Okay, so, I wasn't going to submit these here because I've really had quite enough of politics for the year but it seems the mainstream media are having an absolute blackout on anything critical of Hillary, to the point of CNN has both coincidentally lost a sitting congressman's satellite feed immediately after mentioning wikileaks and tried to tell their viewers that even reading the wikileaks emails is illegal.
These two videos by Project Veritas Action, apparently with more to come, are the result of a year or so of actual investigative journalism and deserve coverage somewhere though. I don't personally care at all if you like Hillary or not but it's always better to know the truth than to stick your head in the sand, so here they are.
The first part in the series is titled Clinton Campaign and DNC Incite Violence at Trump Rallies. It basically shows precisely what it says it does. Hidden cameras capture Scott Foval of Americans United for Change not so much admitting as bragging that they have operatives in numerous major cities that are actually trained in how best to incite violence at Trump rallies.
The second part of the series is again aptly titled Mass Voter Fraud. In this video Scott Foval is again captured going into minute detail on how not only go commit mass voter fraud but how to get away with it.
Scott Foval and Robert Creamer (also in the videos) are currently unemployed as a result of these videos. Whether Mrs. Clinton should be as well, that's for you to decide.

Yes, obviously, which is why I made the comparison.
I thank you for your service, in keeping with the tradition of not RTFS, but your assertion appears to be contradicted by said media refusing to mention what looks like a critical election story uncovered by old-school investigative journalism which has drawn 5 million recorded viewers [youtube.com] in two days, and 2.7 million in one [youtube.com], with more of the story promised to come.

For sure, I didn't watch the video. My comment was about media, not the content of the video.
First video - "Rigging the Election" would better be called "Dirty Tricks in line at the Trump Rallies." Clearly dirty tricks. I'm not going to get on board with, "Getting Trump supporters to throw a punch in line at a rally" = "rigging the election." It's despicable, I don't condone it.
Second video - They describe a method to register illegal voters and how to bus in voters to vote in place of people who have moved. That is voter fraud alright. No one can deny that. And those bastards need to go to jail.

Of course they'll cheat. I wonder why they bother trying to hide it anymore. They've already demonstrated that Hillary is above the law. She can do whatever she likes and the establishment will never prosecute her. They've really enjoyed rubbing our noses in that fact, so I don't see why they don't also steal the election openly and rub our noses in that, too. I am sure they'd have great fun drinking their cognac on their balconies while the powerless masses gnash their teeth in the gutters below.
Washington DC delenda est.

Which gets directly to the point. The so called media will first attempt to simply not speak it, but if that fails and the story breaks through they will deny that any serious crime happened, certainly nothing jailworthy. Because they must, at all cost, maintain their Narrative that there is no 'real' election fraud and that all discussion of it is undermining trust in our government.
They are 'too big to jail.'
It started when Nixon was weak and decided 'it would be too painful' to contest the outright fraud that put JFK in the Oval Office. It is now hard to find a historian who disputes that it happened. But once it was made clear that even if they got caught the Republicans would cuck out 'for the good of the Republic' and allow the cheating to go unchallenged it has grown ever worse every cycle. As the lying bastards in the media wing of Democrat Party insist that it is UnAmerican to want to prevent fraud it grows ever worse. Senator Franken's final margin of victory was smaller than the number of convictions for election fraud. Ponder that statement.

After reading and participating, I come to this conclusion:
Neither side is going to scream too much about the other side since they both do it. "kettle, meet pot."
The videos have been out long enough for the republicans to have jumped all over them. They could have commercials running, they could have brought it up in the debate... they didn't.
We, so much to the joy of "they", spend our time bickering about which side is worse and miss the real truth that the system is broken, not rigged, broken.
Each side does it's best to take advantage of those breaks.

It is worse than even that now. Back when Nixon was surrendering 'for the good of the country' there was still a hint of a two party system. There is only now one 'side', the UniParty. It is like the Harlem Globetrotters, the Democrats are the Globetrotters and the Republicans are the Washington Generals. They pretend to be two parties, they go out on the field and play a sham game for the amusement of the audience but the Generals know that a) the audience is there to watch the Globetrotters, b) the audience expects the Globetrotters to win and c) it doesn't really matter since their paycheck says "Globetrotters, Inc" on it too. Besides, what would they DO if they actually won? The Republicans now look to the exact same 'sunny uplands of history' as the Democrats. Even 99% of the Conservatives only want to slow the trip down because of the transition costs; but most of the 'hills they would die on' are hills the Progressives took from their fathers.

You put a lot of stock in videos from someone known for fraud. I'll reserve opinion until after I see the unedited video.
