MSNBC: Covering Trump Surveillance Story Helps Russia ‘Undermine’ American Democracy
Newsbusters ^ | April 3, 2017 | Kyle Drennen

Posted on 04/03/2017 5:42:11 PM PDT by kevcol

So desperate to discredit a bombshell Bloomberg report that former Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice sought to unmask Trump transition officials caught up in intelligence surveillance, on Monday afternoon, MSNBC host Katy Tur outrageously suggested that simply reporting on the story was helping Russia “undermine our democratic institutions.”

During the 2 p.m. ET hour, Tur talked to the journalist who broke the news, Bloomberg View columnist Eli Lake, and tried to dismiss his reporting by conflating it with a blog post from a conspiracy theorist: “Eli, the same details from your report appeared last night in another report by the man who pushed the Pizzagate story. Does that concern you?”

Does this mean they are looking for a way out of the Russian interference elected Donald Trump story? Of course it is.

After months of this Russia crap I can say that the complete and total sum of their argument is this: Trump colluded with Russia cause everybody just knows. Their concrete proof: there is no way Hillary could have lost otherwise.

They are absolutely apoplectic as of this moment that their Russian meme has been hikacked by the fact that it’s being exposed for the abuse of power set up Job it was and is.

To illustrate the absurdity of their position: I accuse Juan Williams and every democrat congress person of watching and trafficing in child pornography. I have no proof of this as of now. But given the seriousness of this allegation every democrat member of congress and liberal journalist needs to be investigated. Moreover, we need an independent panel to investigate this. I will not be satisfied until this happens and, as of now, Juan Williams and his cronies have offered zero proof that they do not watch and traffic in child pornography.

I am not to sure the Russian attack on our election is even true. BUT THE OTHER day I read an article that our intelligence agencies had the ability to hack computers and make it look as though the Russians did it. NOW the second in command at the FBI wife ran as a Democrat and the Democrat Party supplied her with a lot of money to run. What does that say and indicate to the public how above board all of this is. Pay attention folks.

It’s confusing. The Dems are the party of diplomacy. Shouldn’t they not be damaging our relations with a foreign nation by pushing these hysterical claims? I heard one of them say Russia was our enemy a few days ago. Diplomacy isn’t what it used to be.

If they gave a damn about Russia influencing our elections they would have given this whole DNC Russia hacked the election 2 seconds of coverage.

To whatever extent our republic has been damaged by Russia, it is entirely the obsession created by the media by their effort to damage the President. Plain and simple.

Four more years of this government and this media and we would have been worse off than Stalin’s Russia, Mao’s China, Fidel’s Cuba...

That one is still green, wet behind the ears.

It’s just a mere coinkydink that they discovered this principle of news coverage backlash at the same time as the tables have turned on the Dems ala Russia. Coinkydink I tells ya!

Covering Trump Surveillance Story Helps Russia ‘Undermine’ American Democracy...as opposed to undermining American Democracy on your own by persisting in covering the bogus Russian story instead of the many ways the Obama administration used the government against its own citizens.....

The press knew all along - they were sitting on the story. The whole kit and kaboodle’s corrupt.
