Many media figures have swallowed whole, without evidence, a conspiracy theory that Donald Trump became president by treasonously colluding with Russia to steal the 2016 election from its rightful owner, Hillary Clinton. The information operation that pushed this story turned out to have been secretly developed and funded by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee, a fact uncovered only through the tenacious digging of Republicans on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in the face of major opposition from the media and Democrats on the committee.
The information operation has been fed to an increasingly compliant and credulous media with nearly no resistance. Fusion GPS is the Clinton- and Democrat-funded group that initiated the Russia collusion story, although it is now, according to congressional testimony, being spearheaded by the Democracy Integrity Project and funded to the tune of $50 million. The Washington Post quietly admitted, buried the news, really, that the operation was funded by George Soros.
The latest questionably sourced information in support of this dramatic tale that opponents of Trump cling to in order to delegitimize the results of the 2016 election is that former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort secretly met with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in 2013, 2015 and, ominously, in spring of 2016, just as the Trump campaign was heating up. Assange is holed up in London at the Ecuadorian embassy there and published the hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee and Clinton aide John Podesta.

It is amazing how blatantly and repeatedly dishonest the media is. Fake news is a term that describes them very well.
My thing is the FBI planting moles into the Trump campaign....and saying it was to protect him.
Not “buy” it - it’s more accurate to say the media will promote anything anti-Trump regardless of its accuracy to delegitimize the Presidency.
They are, after all, all Democrats.
NO. That paints the media as stupid and naive, but somehow still honest.
When you realize that US corporate/deep-state media organs like WaPo, NY Times, CNN, etc... are propaganda organs, who have clear instructions, it will all make more sense. They are no different, no better, or no worse, than Russian TASS, China People's Daily or Iran Islamic Broadcast service.
All the news that fits, we print.....or make up.
Don’t forget our old friend drudge is running banner headlines every day with all this crazy junk.
I really like Molly Hemmingway.
Mollie has done some fine work and is crisp in laying out her pieces. She’s gone far really fast and deservedly so.
Her angle here is quite good and a tidbit about Soros funding I did not know.
Well done Ms. Hemmingway!
“Not “buy” it - it’s more accurate to say the media will promote anything anti-Trump regardless of its accuracy to delegitimize the Presidency.”
In my comments in post #1 I said it was deliberate lies.
I agree with you.
I'm not sure which is worse, that the FBI is so corrupt it spied on a U.S. Presidential campaign or the media is so biased and corrupt that it had no issue with hiding this story and in fact dismissed this story.
And Satan was really trying to help Eve with that forbidden fruit.
