Media weren't fooled by Schiff's Russia 'hoax,' they were an 'essential part of it,' says author Lee Smith

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff played “magician” by claiming there was Russian collusion without clear evidence, and the media helped push the narrative for three years, journalist and author Lee Smith argued on Tuesday.

“The press played magician’s assistant, helping Schiff obscure what was going on for three years,” the author of "The Plot Against President Trump" told “Fox & Friends.”

Smith said it was "sad" that Schiff’s Russia collusion narrative was pushed so heavily by the media. He also said that while a lot of “very important press institutions hold the same name, they no longer serve the purpose they had over a decade ago.”

The media is not foled by this but they are fooled by something much deeper - the spirit of anticthrist (AKA “politician correctness”).

they no longer serve the purpose they had over a decade ago.

Decade? I'm 70 and I don't ever remember a fair press.

[Pelham]

Collaborators. Maybe co-conspirators.

[AAABEST]

None of them were "fooled." They were ALL onboard with the coup. All of them, including the piggies at Fox - Cavuto, Hume, Baier, Smith, Napolitano, Ryan etc.

I loved Hume's latest article intended to exonerate himself and his pathetic colleagues. He would have been better off writing "just kidding" and leaving it at that.

CORRECT!

I tend to believe that the dems actually take their marching orders from the Journ-o-list media. The dems haven’t had any original thoughts in decades.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

More and more people are getting more and more pi$$ed off.

The media better clean up their act or else there will be violence.

I can see a mob of angry patriots storming media offices with tar, feathers, guns and weapons.

So listen up, media, straighten up now or kiss your asses goodbye!

[JoSixChip]

We all know what happened and what is currently going on, including democrats. The difference is that the dems don’t care about laws or basic decencies as long as they can advance their goals. Evil exist and there is a right and wrong.

AG Barr revealed DOJ investigations into media leaks .....determining how MSM had scoops
on the Trump-Russia investigation long before Congress was aware of the subject matter.

The linchpin is the Clintons.

========================================

ITEM <><> Journalists Dined at Top Clinton Staffers Homes Days Before Hillary’s announcement of her candidacy
Wikileaks via Breitbart ^ | October 17 2016 | Ezra Dulis / FR Posted by grey_whiskers

Several top journalists and TV news anchors RSVPed “yes” to attend a private, off-the-record gathering at the New York home of Joel Benenson, the chief campaign strategist for Hillary Clinton, two days before she announced her candidacy in 2015, according to emails Wikileaks published from John Podesta’s accounts.

ITEM <><> The guest list for an earlier event at the home of her campaign manager, John Podesta, was limited to
reporters who were expected to cover Clinton on the campaign trail. —snip—

ITEM <><> Wikileaks revealed earlier that late night talk host Stephen Colbert, and his team at Comedy Central, were making TV episodes at the request or order of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) back in April of 2013. So, viewers thought they were vote-smart because they’re informed by a comedian, yet same said comedian was doing Hillary’s bidding the whole time.

ITEM <><> Hillary frequently used the Democrats' "wrap-up smear."......leaking false info about her opponent to the media. When the obedient press published the smear, Hillary would wave it around indicating she was the superior candidate.

===================================

The Clinton Foundation listed "notable past members" they were cozy with.
This page was carried in the Clinton Foundation archives........until recently.

Page has since been deleted from Clinton Foundation archives.

Still waiting for the Official outing of the Whistleblower...the one that Schiff doesn’t have a clue about.

[EasySt]

Death to the Enemedia and their willing, knowing, eager combatants.

*** Still waiting for the Official outing of the Whistleblower...the one that Schiff doesn’t have a clue about. ***

I’m waiting for the Democrats to start throwing bodies out like a hostage situation. They chucked out Al Franken. I’m assuming that Joe Biden isn’t far behind. If they think it’ll satisfy the current DoJ they might be inclined to throw Schiff under the bus (he’s Nancy’s insurance policy).

[GOPJ]

Look, some of them really are stupid enough to be fooled... really. I know it’s hard to believe... they’re NOT all corrupt at CNN and MSNBC... some of them are that stupid.

[Gene Eric]

NBC, MSNBC are Comcast
CNN is ATT

Break them up. Telecom must not control the news.
