Fox News reported it and social media and conservative news sites are on it.
The MSM … not so much.
The New York Times pushed it to Page A16 with the headline “Trump tries to deflect Russia scrutiny, citing a crooked scheme by Obama.”
The Washington Post didn’t mention it at all.
ABC and NBC both chose to ignore the story on Monday evening, then gave minimal coverage on Tuesday morning, when they defended the Obama administration. [Rice is married to ABC Executive Producer Ian Cameron so no surprise there.]
CBS cited unnamed sources who said there was nothing wrong with what Rice had done.
CNN’s Don Lemon also stressed that the Trump team was not surveilled or spied on “illegally.”
Well … yes. There was nothing ILLEGAL about the surveillance or the unmasking. But there’s a long road between illegal and WRONG.
Susan Rice abused the power of her office to help get Hillary elected.
CNN’s Don Lemon said that covering the story would “insult your intelligence” and “aid and abet the people who are trying to misinform you, the American people.”
Riiiiiiiiiiiight.
I mean … never mind that if it had been a Republican administration doing the unmasking, these media whores would be spewing spittle and outrage. Why should we listen to, much less BELIEVE these people after they spent MONTHS insulting our intelligence about Russia?!
WaPo and other Left Stream Media outlets are filled with righteous indignation that President Trump didn’t care to throw out the first pitch for the Washington Nationals’ season opener.
How dare he, the freakin’ fascist, break this “century” old presidential tradition?!
Hmmm … let me think? How about Barack Obama, who only did the Washington Nationals’ first pitch once in his eight years?
On March 24, 2017, the Planned Parenthood abortion facility in St. Louis sent yet another botched abortion patient to the ER.
This represents the 65th documented patient hospitalized with abortion complications by Planned Parenthood in St. Louis since 2009.
“We consider this the most dangerous abortion facility in the U.S.” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.
“If any other medical office in the country was calling for emergency assistance for patients as often as this facility is, it would be a public scandal. Investigative reporters would be falling over themselves trying to expose this safety crisis.
“But since abortion is involved, there is not one word from the media.Their silence is enabling this dangerous abortion business to continue the carnage of babies and mothers alike.”
Our national media made no secret of the fact that Obama and his team had spied on Team Trump.
They thought it was great good fun and that there would be no repercussions. After all, they and their man Barack had been getting away with much worse for 8 years.
Then on March 4, Trump tweeted that Obama had spied on him.
Suddenly, the media had to deny what they’d been telling us all along in hopes of covering Obama’s back side.
But Trump was telling the truth.
The link to the full story by John Nolte, including evidence to support each claim.
During MSNBC’s coverage of the London attack yesterday, Matt Bradley expressed more concern about the violence helping conservative politicians than about the harm it had done to the victims!
Bradley also downplayed any possible connection between the attack and Islamic terrorism, saying that MI-5 had found no terror link so far.
Minutes later, London police announced there was a terror link.
Meanwhile, the political editor for the British magazine New Statesman tweeted:
Never mind that they all spilled the same color blood.
I heard that Trump’s approval at Gallup has dropped. I am 100% sure this has much more to do with the MSM’s relentless criticism than it does with what Trump is actually doing.
During the previous administration, they ignored the president’s flubs, scandals, historical ignorance and serial lies. Today, they give zero credit where credit is greatly due, while focusing obsessively on truly stupid stuff.
I stopped listening to them during the Bush administration, when I realized the Iraq War they were describing was 180 degrees different from what my own kids, whose boots were on the ground, were telling me about.
If you watch nothing but the MSM news, you probably have no idea that our country is doing well.
Here is President Trump’s weekly address. What he talks about matches the economic indicators that show big increases in job creation and a remarkable drop in our national debt, hopeful things the MSM is probably not telling you about.
3/18/17: Weekly Address [3:47]
Comments Off on “The days of economic surrender are OVER.”
The mainstream media’s open hostility to President Trump may be starting to backfire, according to the latest IBD/TIPP poll.
The poll, conducted from Feb. 24 through March 4, included 909 responses who were surveyed using live interviewers on cellphone and landlines. It has a margin of error of +/‐ 3.3 percentage points.
RESULTS:
55% said they’ve grown “weary from the media’s persistently negative coverage of President Trump.”
54% said the news media “has assumed the role of the opposition party, constantly opposing the president and his policies at every turn.”
Not surprisingly, Republicans overwhelmingly hold these views.More important is that a majority of Independents, plus 3 out of 10 Democrats do as well.
SESSIONS:On March 2, 2017, Democrats accused Trump’s Attorney General Jeff Sessions of misleading Congress during his confirmation hearing. While admitting that the statement Sessions made to Congress was not actually false, the MSM still devoted more than 1 hour and 12 minutes to the subject.
HOLDER:On June 28, 2012, Obama’s then-Attorney General Eric Holder became the first Cabinet member to be held in contempt of Congressfor withholding documents from the House investigation into the Obama administration’s Fast and Furious scandal. The MSM yawned.
3/7 UPDATE: I just corrected the title on this graphic. It originally said, “Media covers Attorney Generals” which I realized today was wrong on two counts. “Media” is plural, so it’s “they cover”, not “it covers.” Also the correct plural for Attorney General in American English is “Attorneys General.” Sorry ’bout that. I actually knew those things yesterday. Dunno where my brain got off to OR WHY BOB DIDN’T CATCH IT! lol
