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.

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.

Of course the media outlets downplayed it.
They were part and parcel of it. The co-operative guilty parties.

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.

Gabbard provided 'receipts'. They are not claims.

The MSM are coconspirators. Things will be getting rough for liars for the next 3 1/2 years. Nobody trusts a liar, not even other liars.

I agree with Gen. Flynn. All records related to Obama's residence down the street from the White House should be seized. Who was behind the autopen? Obama bought the house close to the WH for a reason.

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.

It troubled me to see Obama, Brennan, Comey, and others getting away with the crap they did to this great country. Hooray, the Trump team exposed these rats and will put them in prison. obama, the man who has done more harm to this country, should be in prison now.
