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.

Millennials and X-ers get most of their "news" from Facebook [journalism.org]
I get what you're saying, and I think a lot of old people underestimate how much young people rely on social media for news. I wouldn't be incredibly surprised if your statement was true, but it isn't backed up by your link. Your link is showing that Facebook has a wider reach for that demographic than any of the other news sources measured, not that it is the source they get the most news from. Note that the percentages in the poll add up to well over 100%. If a group of 10 people each read 1 story a week from Facebook, and 20 stories another news source (that varied from person to person), Facebook would still be the most popular news source by the metric used even though there would be 10 other news sources that each provided twice as much news as Facebook.

In fact, reading further, they actually list the sources that Millenials cite as their main source of political news* and Facebook doens't make the short list: CNN (21%), Local TV (10%), Fox News (8%), Google News (7%), Yahoo News (7%).
*The entire scope of the polls being discussed is political news, not news in general, so this isn't a switch-and-bait.
