The Mueller Inquisition has yet to find the smoking gun
linking Trump to the Russians and the media is getting impatient.
Buzzfeed, repository of junk
journalism that it is, put out a story recently claiming that Michael Cohen
alleged in testimony that President Trump urged him to lie to Congress. Soon
thereafter, Special Counsel Robert Mueller himself publicly characterized the
story, related to the Trump-Russian collusion investigation, as “not accurate.”
Neither
The New York Times nor The Washington Post ran with the story,
citing at least one source that directly contradicted the BuzzFeed story.
BuzzFeed
has repeatedly announced that it is standing by its story and is asking that
Mueller’s office clarify what facts and allegations it is challenging.
Despite
the lack of corroboration, ABC, NBC and CBS donated a total of 27 minutes of
airtime to the “bombshell” story, while MSNBC’s Chris “I Felt This Thrill Going
Up My Leg” Matthews was also pluckily holding out hope that the story would
prove true. And CNN Legal Analyst Jeffrey
Toobin worried that, if the story proves untrue, the fake report would leave many believing that “the news
media are a bunch of leftist liars.” If the slur fits…
CNN
also warned that the “bigger picture” was the possibility that viewers could
lose faith in the media and the veracity and integrity of The Fourth Estate. (Yes,
forget the takedown of a sitting president, it’s all about you who so
selflessly serve the public by attempting to indoctrinate them into your way of
thinking). Heaven forbid those viewers should believe in “fake news” just
because it demonstrably exists, as has just been proven…again. BuzzFeed, you
may recall, is the same outlet that touted the now disgraced dossier that
started the Mueller investigation in the first place.
This
story could still prove true. There may yet be one or more allegations against
Trump that damage—or end—his presidency. That doesn’t change the fact that no
one brings more shame upon those in the Western mainstream media than they bring
on themselves. With the release of every “bombshell” story and each fevered
allegation against the president, the media slobbers all over itself with
impeachment lust, only to be let down once more.
It’s as
if those in the media kept reporting that “Chicken Little says ‘the sky is
falling!’” and, upon finding this a lie, were only concerned that people might
stop believing Chicken Little.
What a
bunch of Mayor Turkey Lurkeys.*
