MSNBC analyst Richard Stengel said Thursday that "we in the media" hadn't done a good-enough job of explaining the particulars of the Russia investigation to the public in a "bite-sized way.In the aftermath of former special counsel Robert Mueller's low-key testimony Wednesday on Capitol Hill, the former Obama administration diplomat said on Deadline: White House it was incumbent on the press and Democrats to put significant nuggets from the Russia probe on a "three-by-five card" and repeat it over and over for Americans to understand.
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, who was among the many members of the media critical of Mueller's performance on Capitol Hill, said

Oh for pity's sake, you just kept harping over the same lies and when it came for the moment of truth, you didn't have anything to back them up. This isn't popularity contest, this was about TRUTH.

This is just infuriating. We obviously are stupid in their eyes, they we must be spoon fed by the great know-it-all Media! Ack! See with your own eyes and not with the eyes of another. This is justice.

He IS right. The overwhelming use of a fire hose to spread their message just backfired. But the Dems aren't likely to learn from their mistake - Thank God!

Yeah..... "we in the media" failed to vet Barry Soetoro, even in bite sizes. What about that, "we in the media"?

Here we go again. Lets let the press force feed us just little lies(3x5).If they had just done that we would all bow down to their superior grasp of the complexities of a coup against a sitting president. These clowns remind me of Goebbels minus the club foot. Lie, lie often, repeat time and time again lie, after all what else have they? Against a president who has withstood the combined attacks by the elites the MSM and the Republican and Democratic leaders, who has kept almost all of his promises, as opposed to running on promises and running on "compromise".

Translation, we didn't lie effectively enough. Republicans clearly pointed out how such an investigation was supposed to work. It failed to find any evidence of criminal wrongdoing. There is nothing else to add. What the media wants to do is write a screenplay in which Trump is found guilty and sell that as truth. That is absurd and shows exactly why they are fake news.

"Russia" was the deep-state 'strawman'...the hoax was the Special Counsel enlisted by Rosenstein.

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace (...) said Mueller had "destroyed" Trump's credibility. In her reading, Mueller had laid bare that Trump would be charged with a crime if he were not president.
False! If Trump wasn't President, none of them would've paid any attention to anything citizen DJT had to say. It's only because Trump IS our President that their silky knickers are in a twist. How DARE we elect him President! They make me laugh, sardonically.

What drivel!!!
Mueller directly said he was not obstructed in any way, so what charges would have been brought if Trump were not president?
These media experts cannot accept that:
1. NO indictments were filed because the investigation FAILED to find EVIDENCE that would PROVE, beyond a reasonable doubt that obstruction occurred. The job of Mueller's investigation was to either bring charges or decline to do so, NOT to "exonerate" anyone. Investigators made up their own rules and trampled on Trump's RIGHT to the presumption of innocence. The burden of proof was on Muller's team and they FAILED!
2. The DOJ and FBI was FULL of corruption at the highest levels, most of whom are gone and subject to criminal charges
3. Trump was NEVER given an opportunity to cross-examine witnesses or conduct discovery to challenge the one-sided, biased "investigation." Yesterday's hearings were the first opportunities to challenge investigators and they were found sadly wanting of any credible positions
4. Any effort to obstruct justice would have involved people in addition to Trump, so the idea that Trump was not indicted only because he is a sitting president is laughable because NO ONE was charged with obstruction!
These elitist media folks cannot accept FACTS and LOGIC.
How pathetic!!

I would guess that no one posting here gets their news from MSNBC. So they are right: their viewers are stupid.

None of you can do a good job telling lies, and reporting them to the public as truth about a hoax.
It didn't work now did it?
How are your butts feeling today? After yesterdays dog and pony show you all got bit in the azz. I asked because I really really care!
As Bill J Clinton would say, "Put some ice on it!"

How about this.
Some really bad men decided to break the laws that they were entrusted uphold. They didn't like Mr. Trump, and they put out a lot of lies, and tried to frame him for crimes he never did. Some of the bad men were fired from their jobs, but others are still working to harm the Good President Trump.
Lots of dishonest people on TV continuously lie about Good President Trump, too.
The End.
Is that clear enough for you idiots at MSNBC to follow?

That’s the standard lib line when they lose. “Oh, we just didn’t make our message clear enough.” They never consider that the majority of the American public simply isn’t buying what they’re selling. And, we’re glad that they never get it. Keep up the good work, Enemedia!

In other words, PMSNBC didn't tell the public bullet proof lies that they could believe in.

The tired old Obama meme - if you people weren't so stupid, you'd get with the program. It's my fault I didn't dumb it down enough for the deplorables to understand.
