Thought it would be interesting to compile a list of MSM, or other prominant news outlets that are covering the four page FISA memo that was introduced to the HOR Thursday. Please include links if you wish!
Nothing on www.cbsnews.com
Nothing on www.nbcnews.com

this won’t take very long....
La Times had it yesterday (I know, I was surprised too) ... they kind of pooh pooh it but also quote the R’s talking about how serious it is.
let’s see ... gooogogogogoogogogllleeee ... I think this is what I read last night.

At least not on the current home pages (mobile) of the above sites (today).
Unnamed sources tell me these alleged “news” outmlets are reporting fake news.
What FISA memo? There is no FISA memo. There never has ben a FISA memo.
Someone should email Drudge and tell him that the memo contains a section on sexbots..... That would get a 3 siren alert from him.
Buried in the 13th paragraph in a Twitter story at wapo
“As the effort lead by some Republicans to curtail special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation into the election meddling has heated up, Russian-linked accounts helped amplify a Twitter hashtag calling for the release of a memo the group hopes will help discredit Mueller’s work, according to Hamilton 68, a research firm that tracks the malicious accounts. The #releasethememo hashtag was tweeted by these accounts nearly 4,000 times in the last couple of days, the firm said.”
Funny, CBS was the only one that had a story on their front page yesterday, that I could see.
The Rolling Stone article also mentioned the “Russian Bots” angle.
So again,the counter-attack is against the avenue of the message instead of it’s content (recall Wikileaks/Servergate).
Thanks for posting those links.
I am surprised at the CNN article’s depth, but of course not it’s slant.
And so here’s my question for everyone:
If so-called conservative news outlets, talk shows and web sites (read: alternative information outlets) get more traffic than what some folks like to refer as “main stream media”, why call them mainstream?
Yes, I’m going to preach this until we all start to get it.
Why is it that our side needs ‘validation’ from so-called media outlets we don’t even trust? Is it so the ignorant masses will see our side of things?
Newsflash: they could report this stuff on all the channels and it wouldn’t make a difference. It’s about HOW it’s reported and how often it’s repeated.
Haven’t we proven of the last year that collectively we can reach more people that CNN, NYT, WP, etc?
Want proof? Look who’s in the White House.
Bottom line: I don’t care which propaganda mills are (or are not) reporting it. Fact is, WE ARE - and that’s what counts. Keep spreading the word.
just my $0.02.
jimjohn - OUT.
