As new details emerge about the Obama administration’s broad spying-and-leaking campaign against the incoming Trump administration, reporters have a choice to make about whether to cover this story honestly, at long last. There is a brief window of time afforded the media to get the story right. They should take advantage of it.

They will only report what their globalist masters tell them to report.

Yeah, they'll report it. As Trump persecuting those poor, poor, defenseless bureaucrats who work so hard for little pay.

They'll only report they're told to report by China, or is it Russia...or Nasty Nancy...or Soros...or the DNC or any other stinking anti-American that comes down the pike. It's what they do.

More spot-on analysis from Molly Hemingway. Let's hope American voters have (1) developed herd immunity to the MSM and (2) adopted what Vietnam prisoners of war did 50 years ago: Listen to Radio Hanoi and believe the opposite.

"Media Must" . . . . Yeah, whatever! The media is going to do whatever the media wants--whether they have an audience or not. My belief is that they get most of their funding from American-hating entities, not advertising, so they don't give a whoop what anyone thinks.

The media are Democrats. That is not going to change. The media does not care about their reputations. The media are propagandists that gauge their results by opinion polls, not by how truthful they have been. That is why the media doubles down on their lies to get the opinions they want. The ideology is what matters, not the truth.

Mollie, it is already too late for them. They threw their dice in with the democrats, and thanks to that, the democrats are going to drag them down to destruction with them. People, we have it in our power to completely bring the media to their knees if we will only stiffen our spines and use that power.

A truthful journalist states the obvious. LDotters have long been skeptical about the MSM. That is why it is so shocking to the oldtimers to see some being influenced - swayed or at least made to doubt - by what those liars put out. Hemingway was on Mark Levin last night. Made it clear that rather than reporting what was really going on during the coup to take down Donald J. Trump, whether at the campaign/election level or after he was elected, the media joined the coup...

It is already too late and even media people who see where this is going say "But Trump" which is an excuse to absolve their behavior.
I agree there is room to be a critical, reputable reporter without being a Trump fan. But let's face it, when 95% of reporting is negative, ALL of them are in too deep to back out now. Their reputations are already destroyed. If Fredo said Trump was God, I wouldn't believe him. The few people that Mollie cites as accurately reporting on the spying scandal are doing so because they don't want to look like morons. It was like trying to deny the sun came up this morning.
"The truth is an existential threat to journalists" Mollie says this in relationship to the #Obamagate story but I would suggest it is a true statement of the current nature of journalism as a whole because they are NOT journalists, they are propagandists. Lying is now the nature of who they are and truth is their enemy.
We ignore their NATURE at our peril.

Bach (typo but I'll call it an intended pun) when I and my buds were teenage musicians, the guitar player's father and provider of rehearsal garage asked a few questions. He said, Do you want to be rock stars?" Obvious unanimous answer. Who are your favorite musicians ? Each of you bring me an example next rehearsal. We each brought in a different album and put them on the stereo with our favorite song from the album. The dam Dad listened to all of the and said ….
They're pretty good. By the way, that's your COMPETITION. Get practicing.
These "journalists don't realize that they are a garage band and they read like one.

Don't hold your breath, Mollie. The most we can expect is it could be briefly reported at 2am while everyone is asleep, then the story will be buried by 6am. The newspaper rags will publish a paragraph on it appearing on Page 41 at the bottom.

FTA: The truth is an existential threat to journalists, which is why the more activist among them are scrambling to kill the story and paint it as a distraction.
Mollie is more optimistic about journalists finally telling the truth than I am. I think they have a personal interest in keeping the pubic in the dark about Obama's crimes and will never tell the truth to their readers/viewers. The battle lines are drawn and their double standard will forever remain.

They placed their bets on the wrong pony soldier, there is no taking it back now. If they have to lay off thousands of people and sell their buildings and printing presses they will have earned every bit of that misery. Maybe they can sell it all to China where lies and propaganda are more fashionable.

"Too late for them"? For me that line had passed decades ago. In the 1970's I wasn't really a political person, but I started noticing a true anti-gun bias in both news print and television. It just kept getting worse and worse. Now, it's so obvious that anyone who is not a brain-dead koolaide drinking liberal can see it.

The corporate propaganda machine is the enemy of the people. Boycott their advertisers, bankrupt their parent corporations, never consume their lies.
