adult swim???
Crickets... I hear crickets when it comes to MSM reporting on the WikiLeaks and National Enquirer stories.
Amazing.
I just went to 10 major news outlet websites (NYTimes, LATimes, Washington Post, CNN, USA Today, Boston Globe, Seattle PI, San Francisco Chronicle, etc.) and out of those, I found two that had a single reference “below the fold” on their main page, and out of those, they were very bland. You would overlook them.
To recognize the extent of the media double-standard, imagine some conservative “operatives” were taped saying the things these liberal scumbag bragged about, and that logs showed they had been to the Bush or Reagan White House hundreds of times for several hours and more, meeting directly with the President on many of them. Additionally, one of the people is a known felon with a significant record.
Just imagine what the media coverage would be like for that, with the video. It would be the main above-the-fold coverage, with extensive video and commentary, debates about how damaging this is to the Republican party and the Administration, on and on and on.
But, we have this.
I think this is one of the most significant political stories of our lifetimes, and look how it is being treated. If there is no traction on this, our country is indeed done for, cooked, and we better start planning appropriately.
God, did I ever need a laugh! Thanks, Chief!
The author fails to grasp this essential truth: it is isn’t bias, it is ownership. The “Mainstream Media” is the Democrat Party’s Ministry of Propaganda. One is a natural extension of the other.
“I think this is one of the most significant political stories of our lifetimes, “
I agree.
Without an unbiased press we just become another dictatorship masquerading as a democracy.
The rewriting of history is already underway and book burning cannot be far behind.

“Which I absolutely do not minimize, if true...”
Well, I don’t know that I would minimize them exactly - but it is fair to say that for Donald Trump (AND Bill Clinton, to be fair about it) - the supply/demand situation with regard to pu**y is so far beyond what you or I can imagine that I’m not sure it’s fair to reason by analogy.
Now that right there is funny!
The media bias, including that of omission of newsworthy items, is depressing. Far beyond the impact to political positions and candidates - it’s a clear sign that our republic is failing. We see centralized control replacing representative republic. We see news sources as an apparatchik of the bureaucracy serving only propaganda. We see our freedoms eroding. We see our system of governance failing to corruption and coercion for personal gain of the elite.
Pray for Trump. Pray for Americans to wake up and be angry, willing to fight, and successful setting this country right. It’s going to take time and it has to start now.
Townhall has been a big part of the Destroy Trump movement
It was the same with Monica's story - our 'news' organizations sat on it until Drudge broke stride. They all knew. Back in the old days they could be 'gatekeepers' without being seen as corrupt.
Those days are over.
The press wants their guys to stay in office... the people in their black books who feed them stories.
When the coin of the realm is ‘information’ bribes come in the form of ‘hot leads’.
Oh - and about eight years ago democrats discovered that putting MORE self serving stories in their packets to newspapers - - for editors to reject - - INCREASED THE NUMBER OF STORIES IN THE REST OF THE PACKET THAT NEWSPAPERS DID ACCEPT.
A minor but typical and recent example: the Cousin Eddies/Dave Matthews on the Democrat National Committee tour bus emptying its sewage holding tank into a Georgia street.
MSM? .............. crickets
If a Trump bus had done this it would be breaking news every hour on the hour. So they have to satisfy themselves trump-eting every off-color joke the Donald has made since he was a cadet at military school.
Americans are fed up with MSM political bias—the media arms of the left wing of Uniparty.
Go Trump, win win win.
Yeah, but O’Keefe is #1 on YouTube.
Should The Beast win next month, conservatives won’t know of re-education camps until they wake up in one.
The greatest danger to our country is the media....And has been for 30-50 years....
Yeah...I hear you. Still, when confronted with irrefutable evidence of the bias, you still find yourself wondering how people don’t see it the same way.
Lack of knowledge...
Lack of critical thinking skills...
