When the Press becomes part of the cover-up

Look, we’ve never had a Free and Independent Press. They have always tilted toward the Left.

But regardless of that inherent bias, what is happening today is completely unprecedented.

Any pretense of objectivity has all but vanished.

And in their effort to protect Obama, Clinton and the Democrat Party, the Press has made the conscious decision to be part of a cover-up.

We sure have come a long way since Watergate, haven’t we?

Last night, Tucker Carlson had Sharyl Attkisson on to discuss the lack of interest the so-called Free Press is showing for the ever-expanding scandal of the FBI’s surveillance and the Steele/Clinton Dossier.

It’s worth watching this all-too-brief segment.

“We have invited some of the propagandists into our news rooms. We allow them to dictate the talking points and messages du jour. And it’s getting more difficult, I think, to find sort of down-the-middle, unbiased reporting.”

This is a damning statement from a member of the press.

And one, I’m sure, will not get any attention from most mainstream news outlets.

Attkisson’s right.

News has become Propaganda.

But it’s far worse than that.

They have become part of the cover-up – a willing participant in the effort to hide the truth.

While CNN and MSNBC – and the rest of the Enslaved Press – eagerly await the Schiff “Well Oh Yeah?” Memo’s release, Senator Grassley’s criminal referral for Christopher Steele has corroborated the information revealed in the Nunes memo released last week.

But as Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberley Strassel points out on Twitter, the Grassley memo is pretty much being ignored by the once Free Press.

1) Why isn't the (mostly) unredacted Grassley memo front page news? Here's why: Because it confirms the Nunes memo and blows up the Schiff talking points (which the media ran with).

2)It is confirmation that the FBI's FISA application relied on the dossier and a news article, and worse, on the credibility of a source in the employ of the Clinton campaign.

3) It is proof that the FBI did not tell the Court the extraordinarily partisan provenance of the dossier.

4) It provides evidence that the FBI presented the FISA Court with materially false evidence, in the claim that Steele had not talked to the press. And then shows that even after Steele admitted under oath that he had, the FBI did not tell the FISA Court in its renewal.

5) It provides evidence that Steele was getting information from the Clinton team itself! Via the State Department! So now, not only do we have a dossier based on unnamed shady Russians, but on Sidney Blumenthal. How much of this was engineered by the Clinton campaign from start?

As Mark Levin said on Hannity Monday night, it is beginning to look like Hillary Clinton paid for a FISA Warrant.

This story — coupled with the newly released texts from the FBI’s own chatty, star-crossed lovers — is shaping up to be a far bigger scandal than Watergate ever was.

Ordinarily, this was the kind of story the Press salivated over.

But not anymore.

Instead of scrambling to expose this widespread corruption, the propagandists in the Press are actually the ones trying to cover it up.

We are now witnessing the self-inflicted Death of Journalism – Suicide by Dossier if you will.

And it really is unbelievable to watch.
