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.

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.

(Snip) Bulk high-fructose corn syrup cost about $0.35 per pound for 2025, only rising from $0.27 in 2015, and remaining fairly close to this price in the past few years, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

There is no hell, sinful souls simply disappear”. These heretical ravings are directly opposed to the Catholic Faith, which teaches us that there is a particular Judgment for everyone, which Bergoglio could not escape. His soul has therefore not disappeared, nor has it dissolved: he will have to account for the crimes he has committed,...

Obama’s office took the unusual step of issuing an emphatic refutation after Trump told reporters that his predecessor had “[tried] to lead a coup” against him and was guilty of “treason” over intelligence assessments suggesting that Russia had intervened to help Trump defeat Hillary Clinton in the campaign. “Out of respect for the office of the presidency,

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released further evidence Wednesday morning, which she claims shows the Obama administration's direct involvement in the 2016 post-presidential election Russia hoax. Gabbard, describing the plot as the "most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history," posted a series of lies which have, in her view, been debunked by declassifying a 2020 House Intelligence Committee report. The report was an assessment of how the Obama administration manufactured a January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, which portrayed Russia as having influenced the 2016 election in favor of Donald Trump. That assessment was "false," Gabbard writes,

The astounding revelations were contained in a Sept. 18, 2020, House Intelligence Committee report that reviewed Russia’s influence on the 2016 contest and was declassified and made public Wednesday by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

Others suggested that it was the fault of President Donald Trump. In a recent airing of “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin joined the fray of frantic phonies pretending Colbert’s firing was a free speech issue. She intimated that the motivation behind the development “could be financial” or “purely political.”
