I am just stunned reading all this. I just can’t believe a majority of people are not interested in this.

Maybe it is too confusing to follow for most, however, it seems pretty straightforward to me. All these people were out to get Trump.

The media isn’t pulling it all together into a story that people can grasp, like they did for, say, Watergate. Because of its complexity, it can hide in plain sight.

Oh if the tables were turned, the MSM would make sure it was dang clear to Americans what Republicans in FBI had done wrong, and everybody within 6 degrees of them had done wrong. As it is now, nothing to see here, move along.

The majority of people in this country still rely upon the mainstream media for news and information.

What little is coming out about this in the mainstream press, is either being downplayed, or spun in such a way as to make President Trump look like the guilty party.

I agree.

I think part of the problem is indeed that the whole thing IS somewhat complicated.

I liken it to the Whitewater Investigation. If you take the time to try to absorb it, it is clear there was criminal behavior on the part of Hillary Clinton. But it takes some commitment to wade through it, and most Americans have an understandable tendency to have their eyes glaze over after about three minutes on stuff like this.

That tendency is what the media and the Left primarily are banking directly on exploiting, and they do it shamelessly. It is their current Modus Operandi with all things Trump.

It is why they lurch seamlessly from one anti-Trump media scrum to another. Did anyone wonder today why Puerto Rico is BACK in the news and how it is all Trump’s fault? That isn’t an accident.

Dan Bongino often describes the hows-and-whys of this in the context of what we see each day, and I buy into it completely. They are so unhinged now they are even blaming the hurricane itself on Trump.

The Left is fighting a rear-guard action, because they have nothing else, and it has become so clear that the entire “Russia Collusion” fabrication is unraveling, witness this article by Sara Carter, and there are others like Jeff Carlson, Chuck Ross, Lee Smith, John Solomon, Byron York, Margo Cleveland, and the like who are doing the work that the media SHOULD be doing to expose this.

Unfortunately, as the Left has discovered to their delight, many Americans STILL watch media offerings without considering there might be more to the presentation the media makes with events and stories than the desire to inform Americans of the truth.
