Robert Mueller Is No Match for Fox News
NY Times ^ | Quinta Jurecic

Posted on 12/01/2018 4:19:29 PM PST by conservative98

The allure of a Mueller report lies in its imagined promise of a single, definitive truth capable of cutting through the haze of lies, confusion and “alternative facts.” But Mr. Corsi’s and Mr. Papadopoulos’s antics are a warning that this hope will inevitably fall short. Conspiracy theorists and prosecutors live in different worlds: The first, unmoored from truth; the second, devoted to proving facts beyond a reasonable doubt. Mr. Mueller has the power to charge Mr. Corsi for lying; he has already done so to Mr. Papadopoulos. Rather than crumbling, though, their falsehoods have continued to spread and grow — and they’ve taken root in the media ecosystem in which the president chooses to spend his days (Fox News).

By now it’s clear that the special counsel is not armed with a silver bullet, not because the facts are not bad for the president but precisely because they are. If facts were enough, Mr. Trump would already have been impeached.

The media are complicit in this massive conspiracy of high treason. With any luck, they’ll be brought to justice. Mob justice.

A NYT writer defines themselves as being only bright enough to be a journalist.

Which means they’re not exactly up there with folks who actually have talent.

Nice try, oh little teeny writer.

They’ve been operating under the assumptions of the Watergate reality, where all the have to do is run the right story in the Washington Post and Trump would slink off in disgrace. Now they’re finding out that it’s not like that, Trump will fight and his base does not read the Washington Post except for the humor.

I just read up on some of her stuff via her ramblings on Twitter etc. She/He/It is an exceptionally vapid and pathetic creature.

We have reached the point where the New York Times and their liberal friends are unwilling to re-consider their beliefs in the light of new information. The author is just projecting her world view, beliefs, and feelings as if they were the truth, and is incapable of considering any evidence which doesn't support her view.

Of course this shouldn't surprise anyone, we have people who believe the earth is flat too, along with many other irrational ideas.

Never felt more heroic than after successfully dragging myself to the grocery store to buy soup while sick.
Jurecic thought that to be worthy of a Twitter post. What a mind.
