Media flouts facts on Susan Rice
The Hill ^ | April 6, 2017 | Jonathan Turley

Posted on 04/06/2017 2:19:57 PM PDT by confederatecarpetbag

here is a common expression in the media that there are “some facts too good to check.” It is used in jest to reflect how you sometimes hate to give up a great story for the real facts. That tension was well on display this week as media seemed to tie itself into knots to avoid admitting that there are legitimate questions raised by the “unmasking” allegations surrounding the actions of Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice.

Turley is a Democrat but I think he's fair. Amazing when you juxtapose his commentary with that of Jennifer Rubin at WaPo: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2017/04/06/susan-rice-is-a-pawn-in-trumps-effort-to-tear-down-the-system/?utm_term=.9b4a3180edb1

Just goes to show that Rubin is a shill for the Deep State.

The MSMedia can do whatever it wants, if there’s evidence, President Trump will find a way to get it out there.

LOL. His conclusion is that the press is objective, just missing the boat on the Rice story. He's only slightly less a DEM shill compared with Andrea Mitchell, Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon, the "news" people he singles out for his narrow criticism.

Turley is an honest liberal as when liberals were not Marxists and serial liars and criminals but the loyal opposition. They are no longer this.

Anybody have the GIF that banners “The Democrat Party is a Criminal Enterprise” If you do email it to me via Freepmail. I can not find mine anymore.

Reporters are now so committed to refuting Trump that they are refuting actual stories. The loss of objectivity in the response to the Rice story reflects a broader problem of the press focusing so hard on Trump that it is losing sight of its own bearings. The irony is that Trump was wrong about the media but many in the media seem to be working hard to prove him right.

Wrong, Turley. Trump had it right about the media all along. The media has just simply quit any pretense of objectivity in their efforts to tear Trump down.
