Scandalous Media Bias: There have been two major ongoing investigations involving President Trump. One is looking into whether Trump colluded with Russia. It's borne no fruit. The other involves abuse of power at the highest levels of government to hurt Trump and is producing damning evidence by the bushel. Guess which one the press is ignoring?
National Review writer John Fund relates an interesting story. He was waiting to go on the air and struck up a conversation with another prominent reporter in the network's green room.
Why, he asked, aren't reporters actively investigating the suspicious activities at the Justice Department and the FBI regarding the Trump/Russia and Hillary/email investigations?
Fund says the reporter "bluntly told me 'There's only room for one narrative on all this. And it's all about Trump.' "
You might think that reporters are chasing facts wherever they might lead, and "speaking truth to power," especially when that power involves the CIA, FBI and Justice Department.
Instead, it's all about the "narrative."

The fake news media made its mind Trump is guilty of colluding with Russia.
Its not the facts, is the narrative that matters.
And nothing is going to shake their allegiance to the narrative.
Even when the facts contradict/challenge/discredit it.
Good article.
It shows how the Mediacracy has worked for decades.
The Media define what information the public should have, how that information should be interpreted, what politicians should be elected,what is scandal and what is not.
Give a ideologically 98% identical group of people this power, and they effectively run the country.
Now, thanks to technology, there is a little bit of alternative media. That control has been broken by a leader who would not let the media define him.
That leader is Donald Trump.
Anybody out there see a nice, safe, bloodless, legal, constitutional way out of this mess?
............me neither.
They are completely ignoring it. They continue to say the words “Russia investigation” every day.
F*ck the media.
