Role of the Media

To cover the FBI coverup of its illegal role in Russiagate for one example.

Where are you 4th Estate ideologues now that your heroes are coming apart at the seams? Where are you, oh noble truth seekers. They are a lapdog press caught up in an incestuous relationship with various governmental agencies.

They use the “art” of redaction and justify their phony claims as being for “the sake of national security”..

“To declassify or not to declassify? That is the question, when it comes to the FBI’s original evidence in the Russia collusion case.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI have tried to thwart President Trump on releasing the evidence, suggesting it will harm national security, make allies less willing to cooperate, or even leave him vulnerable to accusations that he is trying to obstruct the end of the Russia probe.

Before you judge the DOJ’s and FBI’s arguments — which are similar to those offered to stop the release of information in other major episodes of American history, from the Bay of Pigs to 9/11 — consider Footnote 43 on Page 57 of Chapter 3 of the House Intelligence Committee’s report earlier this year on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.”

Now then, the claims made by the overtly-biased-left-wing-lap-dog-press are often without merit.

The Left is dead. It crawled up the ass of establishment media. Fascinating to watch the fealty shown by this band of corn-holers as they jettison any of their rebel qualities in favor of kneeling before the techno-soy and metro fascists at google, FB, etc.

Oh and Dick Blumenthal..no lower scumbag in that chamber. Piece of crap not only claimed he served in Vietnam but did so with distinction.

Way to go Dick

Yep. There have been studies done showing that CNN and MSNBC (neither of which are the main source of news for liberals, unlike Fox is for conservatives), are not nearly as far to the left as Fox is to the right. What most "mainstream news media" are really after are ratings and/or subscriptions and website hits, not spreading left-wing propaganda. Trump sells papers and brings in website hits. In many ways Trump is one of the best things to happen to many mainstream news sources, including even the NY Times and Washington Post. Watch the Sunday morning talk shows, and what you nearly always have on the roundtable discussions are a very right-wing commentator or editor or former pol like Chris Christie, a couple of reporters who range from centrist to mildly liberal, and a Democratic Party functionary who is nearly always not as far to the left as the conservative commentator is to the right. Chris Christie pretty much dominates the discussion on ABC's This Week every time he's on, and the same thing often happens on NBC's Meet the Press. To a Trumpite, any news source that criticizes Trump in any way, or doesn't openly promote him and his agenda 24/7 like Fox, is liberal fake news. Hell, Trump himself is on record as telling a CBS reporter that he deliberately goes after the mainstream media so that his supporters won't believe anything they say about him, no matter how true or factual it is. You can't get much more obvious than that.
 
Where is the msm media on James Baker’s testimony? Why is there no follow through on his allegations? Here you have the lead FBI lawyer testifying that the investigation into Trump’s campaign was meant to benefit the Democratic Party. Baker swore under oath that the participants showed a clear bias against the GOP Candidate.

You ask what the media’s roll is



Why is there no msm interest in his testimony .. where are the blood hounds to ask him logical, journalistic follow-up?
 
You guys ought to get out more often..that way you could face the massive amount of ridicule you both certainly merit.

It will help both of you in a personal way to grow out of the basement and back up into the light of day.

As of now it’s looking bleak as the two of you are both huffing fumes off of the moldy shit the last admin left behind.

Join the Trump Train. Be on the RIGHT Side of History.
 
This is not normal in a healthy democracy.

 
“The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in. Within thirty seconds any pretence was always unnecessary. A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic. And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like the flame of a blowlamp.” - 1984
