Legacy media outlets largely silent on
Tulsi Gabbard's bombshell Obama administration claims

Original Article

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard suggested last week that intelligence was "manufactured and politicized" by the most powerful people in the Obama administration in 2016 and Americans will finally learn the truth, but legacy media outlets didn’t take the announcement particularly seriously. (Snip) MSNBC, meanwhile, spent more time downplaying Gabbard's report and similarly suggested Republicans are using it to distract from unflattering news. "The latest distraction comes from the national intelligence director, Tulsi Gabbard, who put out a baseless report Friday accusing the Obama administration of manufacturing intelligence that laid the groundwork for the FBI’s Russia probe into Trump," MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin said.

 For patriotic conservatives, political revelations of this kind elicit a mix of hope and trepidation mindful of a plausible reality: "In America, the president reigns for four years, and journalism governs forever and ever." (Oscar Wilde)

Of course they are. Coverup is their primary "news" approach to anything that doesn't look good for Dems, especially The Zero.

How can we either 'force' the Main Stream Media (MSM) to start presenting both sides of the news or get our message to the millions who are under their sway? The owners of these leftist media outlets would sooner sacrifice their right nuts than sell to someone on the right, so I am not optimistic. Reversing the evil which has been perpetrated across generations of Americans will likely take many, many years, and sadly I think America is doomed unless we wrest back our education system from top to bottom so as to teach our children to think for themselves.

From the article: "NewsBusters analyst Jorge Bonilla was stunned the story was only covered by one of the legacy Sunday public affairs programs after NBC’s "Meet the Press" and ABC’s "This Week" ignored it." Why? Because the MSM views Hussein as the Black Messiah/Hope and Change. Their destructive goals are aligned. More government is the answer. Hussein's wife, the Always Angry Wookiee(sometimes with a hair bun), leads the charge of low information electorate sheep.

If you're going to commit the crime of the century (so far), you'd better make it so unlikely and outlandish that no judge will believe it.

The MSM were happy accomplices to all crimes committed by the left. The last thing they want to do is any sort of honest reporting on anything that is exposed. That would ultimately be tantamount to a confession. No doubt there are "journalists" who are in the process of lawyering up; as more exposures are forthcoming and whistleblowers come forward the breadcrumbs will lead directly to the media. If their numbers are bad now.....just wait.

CNN's found more pictures of Trump with Epstein. Oh, they'll talk about that. They've been digging for dirt on Trump, but you can't get them to focus on the Russian hoax. Their doors need to be shuttered the sooner the better. That would be history. And then the prosecutions.

We built ALL of this and Obama attempted to tear it down. He has been trying since 2008 to destroy America and he fails at every turn. I hope there is some time in Leavenworth for him at the end of all of it. Squishy Miss Lindsey of South Carolina refused to say the word "treason" but that's exactly what it is.

While some headlines fret over a weak jobs report, Marlin Steel CEO Drew Greenblatt sees something else entirely--a once-in-a-generation boom in American manufacturing that the media is missing. "This is a re-industrialization of America. This is a fabulous, optimistic time," Greenblatt told Fox & Friends Weekend on Sunday. "[And] the mainstream media is missing what's happening. It's such an optimistic, good time for a factory worker, and these are good jobs… we need more of these jobs in our country," he continued, tying the outcomes to President Donald Trump's tariff structure, which he sees as reversing the long-standing trend of foreign dumping and offshoring.

We've seen in recently declassified documents that Hillary Clinton didn't do this alone. She commanded dozens, if not hundreds, of willing participants, including the George Soros foundation, President Barack Obama, the FBI, the weaponized intelligence agencies, and others, to bring Donald to his knees.Buried deep in the latest tranche of declassified documents called the Durham annex report, however, a deep state hawk has found something that is equally or more evil than changing intelligence to manipulate one election's outcome.

The Trump administration withdrew $200 million in federal research funding to the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) after a Department of Justice (DOJ) finding Thursday that it had violated the civil rights of Jewish students. As Breitbart News reported earlier this week, UCLA settled a lawsuit brought by Jewish students — and was promptly hit with a DOJ finding that it had violated the Fourteenth Amendment and the Civil Rights Act. Breitbart News reported: In April 2024, UCLA allowed anti-Israel students to set up an “encampment” in the center of campus. The university surrounded it with metal barricades and allowed activists to patrol the encampment boundary.
