Untold Stories of the MSM

100 years after the Russian Revolution replaced the Romanovs with the Bolsheviks and more than a quarter century after the fall of the Soviet Union, you would hardly think that Russia would consume so much air time in 2017; considering all the other fish we have to fry such as ISIS and North Korea.  However, it would come as quite a surprise if Russia did not end up making a list for the 10 most talked about stories of 2017. “New Day”, CNN’s morning program, spent 2 hours and 16 minutes on Russia Wednesday morning.  After years of downplaying the threat to the United States posed by Russia, the media and the Democrats now consider Russia our number one national security threat.  Beginning shortly after President Trump’s election, they have been incessantly peddling the narrative that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia in order to secure an election victory.  Even as weeks and months go by without a smoking gun, they will not let it go. 

The media’s most recent obsession revolves around a meeting Donald Trump Jr. had with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower five months prior to the 2016 Presidential Election.  The lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, claimed to have dirt on the President’s opponent Hillary Clinton.  No evidence exists that then-candidate Donald Trump had any knowledge of the meeting.  The meeting bore little fruit in Team Trump’s quest for opposition research as Ms. Veselnitskaya used the meeting to talk about Russian adoption.  In an interview with NBC News earlier this week, Veselnitskaya claimed to have no affiliation with the Russian government; poking a hole in the collusion theory.  After this story first broke, Trump Jr. released all e-mails pertaining to this meeting.  One of the e-mails informs Trump Jr. of the existence of incriminating information on Hillary Clinton’s dealings with Russia and talks about how this is “part of Russia and its government support for Mr. Trump.”  Following the release of this e-mail, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), the Democrats’ 2016 Vice Presidential Nominee, suggested that Trump Jr. committed an act of treason when he agreed to the meeting.  Make no mistake: the media and the Democrats will not stop pushing this narrative until President Trump is either impeached or defeated in his bid for re-election.   

 

I mentioned this in one of my school newspaper articles last year; but I feel like it’s worth mentioning again.  In 1992, two of the Sunday morning talk shows hosts that supposedly report “objectively” had major roles in Democratic presidential campaigns.  “Meet the Press” host “Sleepy Eyes” Chuck Todd worked for Iowa Senator Tom Harkin’s unsuccessful bid for the Presidency while “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos worked as the Communications Director for Then-Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton’s successful presidential campaign.  Study after study has shown that the mainstream media is loaded with partisan Democrats.  Bernie Goldberg, who worked at CBS for nearly three decades, wrote about this phenomenon in his book Bias, published in 2000.  The media’s bias got so out of hand in the age of Obama that Goldberg wrote another book called A Slobbering Love Affair.  In this book, Goldberg provides cold-hard numbers that show that the American media has supported Democratic presidential candidates consistently for about half a century.  These statistics prove the media’s left-wing bias far beyond a reasonable doubt.  Many of the American people, especially those on the right, first realized this a long time ago while others are just waking up to this sad truth; most likely as a result of the release of e-mails from Wiki-Leaks that expose the cozy relationship between the Democrats and the mainstream media.  

 

Since the media is convinced that collusion is a mortal sin, you would think that they would display equal outrage about a Politico report that Hillary Clinton and the DNC colluded with the Ukrainian government to try and prevent Donald Trump from becoming President.  However, because of the reasons I mentioned in the previous paragraph, the mainstream media barely even bothered to cover this story when it was first published six months ago.  The media eagerly abandons its traditional watchdog role in order to protect the Democratic Party; which has done its share of mingling in other countries’ elections, as well as encouraging other countries to mingle in ours. Let’s not forget that Former President Obama did everything he could to make sure that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to win re-election; spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer money to bolster his opponent.  Three decades earlier, liberal hero Ted Kennedy penned a letter to the Soviet Union where he offered to help boost the image of Soviet leader Yuri Andropov through a series of TV interviews in exchange for help from the Soviet government in derailing Ronald Reagan’s re-election bid.  Kennedy’s genius idea blew up in his face as President Reagan’s 1984 re-election saw him capture the largest electoral college landslide in United States History; winning 525 electoral votes to his opponent’s 13.

 

 

 

Anyone acting as if the meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a mysterious Russian lawyer will ensure the end of the Trump Presidency is clearly mistaken. The mainstream media wants the American people to focus on this “collusion”, hoping they will ignore the blatantly obvious collusion between the MSM and the Clinton campaign.  The Democrats also want to keep the Trump-Russia collusion story alive; hoping no one finds out about Ted Kennedy’s push for Soviet interference in the 1984 Presidential election.  Slowly but surely, the American people are finding out these hidden secrets.  It should not be much longer before more people trust palm readers than the mainstream media.
