Mueller's work is done, Trump's been vindicated — yet some outlets still want readers to take them seriously?
By The Political Insider Staff | March 25, 2019
Now that we know the Trump-Russia “collusion” story the media have been obsessed with for two years was all a hoax, exactly how many stories did they put out about it?
Over half a million.
Axios reports that since May 2017, exactly 533,074 web articles have been published about Russia and Trump-Mueller, which in turn have generated “245 million interactions — including likes, comments and shares — on Twitter and Facebook.”

Axios determined these findings by compiling data from social media analytics company NewsWhip.
Think about it. The same liberal mainstream media that constantly mock conservative news as not credible or unreliable have now published over 500,000 stories that have generated nearly 250 million social media interactions — and they still think we should take them seriously?
The mainstream media have proven themselves to be the biggest conspiracy theorists out there.
How about TV time? It gets worse, though, in our view.
The Media Research Center (MRC) said that major media gave 2,284 minutes of coverage to the Russia probe.
“From January 20, 2017 (Inauguration Day) through March 21, 2019 (the last night before special counsel Robert Mueller sent his report to the attorney general), the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts produced a combined 2,284 minutes of ‘collusion’ coverage, most of it (1,909 minutes) following Mueller’s appointment on May 17, 2017,” MRC reports (emphasis theirs).

“That’s an average of roughly three minutes a night, every night, for an astonishing 791 days — a level of coverage normally associated only with a major war or a presidential election,” MRC notes.
Astonishing indeed. Shameful, too.
The fake news media won’t stop. As if that weren’t bad enough, fake news outlets like CNN are still camped outside Robert Mueller’s office.
The Political Insider reported Monday:
“CNN’s Evan Pérez said Mueller was spotted dressing down at the office,” reports The Week. “On Thursday, CNN’s Shimon Prokupecz noted that Mueller didn’t leave for lunch as he usually does.”
Heavy stuff, indeed.
“And on Friday, it seemed Mueller didn’t even show up — the biggest special counsel news of the day until the Department of Justice confirmed Mueller had wrapped his report completely,” The Week notes.
[Will they] discover if Mueller ate lunch in his office or maybe what color his underwear is? What is his favorite movie? How does he like his steak cooked?
When will these reporters go away?
This is a new low for the media from which they might never recover.
Conservative news is needed more than ever to inform readers based on fact — and not partisan witch hunts.
And who knows what the next media Trump witch hunt will be.
Stay tuned for the facts and only the FACTS.
Some continue to say the lamestream media reports news when the last two plus years has been nothing but lies
Trump was already doing well in the polls before the public was told, in essence, that the 500,000 plus stories and 24/7 coverage of the mueller investigation were ALL LIES.
That’s gonna move his numbers even higher.
This report shows the real collusion among the leftist media to ‘flood the zone’ with the narrative they want everyone to believe. And it works. I have a neighbor who absolutely believes President Trump is the anti-Christ.
Too many useful idiots in this world and leftists know it.
JoMa
Bet that the lamestream media will lie. It’s what they do. I still expect them to come back any minute and say we made a mistake.... hitlery won. 2020 will be no different if the lamestream can lie ... they will lie
I think Trump can pull in 330 plus electoral votes.
And though I think he’ll win it, the ironic thing is he doesn’t need FL to win.
95 percent who voted for him last time say they’ll vote for him again.
that’s a STAGGERINGLY high number.
“...normally associated only with a major war or a presidential election”.
To the left and media, this is a major war against both Trump and his voters and a re-litigation of the 2016 presidential election with the goal of removing Trump.
Perpetrating and perpetuating hoaxes is nothing new to the media scribblers. I’m sure every one of us can name several hoaxes stretching back decades, some big, some small, but all designed to fool and manipulate the public.
The only difference between the Russia Collusion hoax and the others is that this has been getting near hysterical coverage for close to 3 years. It was in the summer of 2016 that Hillary Clinton first started accusing Trump of being a Russian agent or pawn.
The average IQ out there is 100—democracy means that we are often ruled by morons.
That is more horrifying than the worst horror movie.
Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.
It’s the only way to watch the “news”.
Only 500,000!??? I don’t ever watch their tripe and I must have seen more stories than that on the net...
May your thought be the true outcome
Are you kidding?? My thoughts are worthless :)
That’s an actual poll, that 19 out of 20 who voted for him are going to vote for him again.
HE MUST have won converts in the past 2 plus years.
Likely many.
A year and a half is a lifetime in politics I know, but let’s keep praying.
Amen
Bumpity Bump.
