Byron York sent out a tweet that informed us that the left wing media really should not be publishing handed objective articles, but instead should be putting out propaganda:
Washington Post media columnist wants journalists to be harder on Trump. Comes up with catchy name for new approach: 'Fairness First.' https://t.co/eHpFAGV51a pic.twitter.com/IDVOOmkGwp

It’s already happening.
The House intelligence committee was given a briefing last week and it was immediately leaked, most likely by Adam Schiff and his staff.
Intelligence officials warned members of the House Intelligence Committee last week the Russians were attempting to interfere in the 2020 presidential contest with the goal of helping Trump win reelection, according to reports.
The briefing was conducted by Shelby Pierson, the Intelligence Community election threats executive under outgoing acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire. During the meeting, Pierson warned that “Russia was interfering in the 2020 campaign to try to get President Trump reelected,” according to five people familiar with the matter cited by the New York Times.
It was intentionally mischaracterized by Schiff the leakers.
CNN’s Jake Tapper cited a national security official “I know and trust” who rejected the framing of the story along with “others with firsthand knowledge.”
“What’s been articulated in the news is that the intelligence community has concluded that the Russians are trying to help Trump again,” the official said. “But the intelligence doesn’t say that.”
Tapper’s source said “the problem is Shelby said they developed a preference for Trump” and “a more reasonable interpretation of the intelligence is not that they have a preference, it’s a step short of that. It’s more that they understand the president is someone they can work with, he’s a dealmaker. But not that they prefer him over Sanders or Buttigieg or anyone else. So it may have been mischaracterized by Shelby.”
National Security Adviser Robert O’Brian disputed the report
“I haven’t seen any intelligence that Russia is doing anything to attempt to get President Trump reelected,” O’Brien said, calling the rumor a “nonstory.”
“I think this is the same old story that we’ve heard before,” he said. “Our message to the Russians is: Stay out of the U.S. elections. We’ve been very tough on Russia, and we’ve been great on election security.”
On Twitter Shem Horne shows just how slimy the NY Times has become

This blockhead swallowed the propaganda whole and then tried to sell it
MSNBC’s @Lawrence O’Donnell: "The president is a Russian operative. That sounds like the description of a bad Hollywood screenplay, but it is real, and it is Vladimir Putin’s greatest achievement.”

Maggie Haberman, who routinely pens anti-Trump screeds in the NY Times, became the blind squirrel who found a nut:
“Mr. Putin, the analysts agree, mostly seeks anything that will further take the sheen off American democracy and make presidential elections in the United States seem no more credible than his own.” https://t.co/0Sm9hiDSSR

Yet she and The Times always serve as the useful idiots who spread Russian propaganda to the other useful idiots like Adam Schiff who then use it to try to harm Trump. They also divide the country in so doing but it appears the fabric of the nation may be sacrificed on the altar of the Church of Trump Hatred.
I would be remiss in not including this NY Times smear
NYT has never written anything nearly as snarky or dismissive of Adam Schiff or his staff as they do here about Kash Patel and Nunes, even though the latter were far more accurate about FISA than the former. https://t.co/DcXZcs28zg pic.twitter.com/ZJbfWBktOZ

For his part, Donald Trump wants Schiff investigated for his incessant leaking:
President Trump said Rep. Adam Schiff should be investigated for leaking claims that Russia will interfere in the 2020 presidential election to help Sen. Bernie Sanders win.
“Nobody said it to me at all,” the president told reporters about not being briefed about Russia. “They ought to investigate Adam Schiff for leaking that intelligence.”
The president also suggested that Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, released the information to hurt Sanders’ election chances.
That’s just too much fun to imagine.

I wonder, when was it last that the liberal media employed “fairness”? Since the Bush administration, they’ve been nothing but a Democrat propaganda tool, though much less overt than they are now.
The paper thin premise that because Trump won and there is a place called “Russia”, Trump HAD to have been helped by them to win launched numerous “investigations” yet the information that Russia favors a socialist who honeymooned in the Soviet Union and sang its praises here at home merely ignites debates about whether or not the information should have been exposed. Yeah, I think we can forget about any sudden outbreak in liberal media “fairness” running rampant.
@Deplorable Me: I don’t think that the propaganda twist in the news media started with Bush. We just started having other news sources that showed us the propaganda. The media was always pro-communist dating back to duranty’s pulitzer. The way they destroyed a good man, Joseph McCarthy, for simply telling the truth is another example.
@Bookdoc: No, it didn’t start then, it only began to be a steady and unwavering liberal droning then.
@Bookdoc: The CIA has long been in the media with non stop operation mockingbird. Now they rub our noses in it openly hiring CIA operatives as analysts.
Didnt realize how much nazi spies embedded in the cia hate America.
Mc Carthy was right, he just rushed a bit and ignored the constitution.
Where is the media screaming how Bernie LOVES dictators and dictatorships?

Imagine if Trump praised Castro’s forced indoctrination of the population. Hell, they go apesh*t when he tries to destroy them instead of making excuses for them.
Operation Mockingbird was cx’ed; however, there are still three ongoing surveillance operations by cia and nsa of a similar venue. one must realize that the media is not journalistic in tone but righteous left in tone and action. if one recalls, the ceo of cnn touted that the American people are entitled only to information that cnn and the other media outlets deem necessary. Hitler took control of the press from 1933-34. the readers must realize that the control of the media is continually subverted by outside forces.
berni is a true diehard communist.
recall that intelligence officers are just long term agents who serve whoever is in the White House. life long slugs on government payroll-no different than welfare recipients.
@MOS #8541: Mockingbird is alive and well, they just changed the name, evidence Brennan releasing a copy of the debunked dossier moments after Comeys failed attempt to blackmail Trump into compliance with the same document “called a “briefing.” Followed by a media frenzy
How did they get a classified government document?
How proud they were to print Russian disinformation!
The Left including its media, feels it has no other option.
For example how can they fairly report about Richard Grendell, America’s highest serving openly gay man?
Not honestly.
And for another for instance, how many people stayed up last night into the wee hours to see the greetings and support for President Trump in India?
A Red Carpet treatment in every way.
And later, a 125,000 person stadium, packed to the rafters with cheering support as President Trump gave Americans a history lesson into India’s President Modi.
The media has to lie and try to hide such success.
I wonder how they are spinning the loosened Corona virus?(Shame on that career Obama holdover who sent Americans infected home!)
@Nan G: The kung flu is being hyped there is no accurate information being released. 2 million got diagnosed in China every year with pneumonia. Before the Kung flu. (toxic levels of air pollutiona Yale review which stated that the mixture of toxic elements in the air is unprecedented in human history. ) apx 300K a year die from the crap commie health care when they get pneumonia.
Horrific air quality brings on lung infections of all kinds, including pneumonia. Pneumonia is THE illness attributed to the coronavirus. How convenient.
The Chinese government has recently ruled that testing patients for the coronavirus isn’t necessary for a diagnosis of “epidemic illness.” A CT scan of the lungs is sufficient. If the patient thus shows signs of pneumonia, he/she is labeled “a coronavirus case.”
We fear what is unknown, so hence media black out on real information. Boom stock market hit, driven 80% by algorithms that scan news stories.
The corona virus is also the common cold. https://web.stanford.edu/group/virus/corona/colds.html
Most common colds are viruses, Kitt.@kitt:
But specific viruses cause them and spread them.
If the Chu Group Lab of Stanford wants to lump them all together, that’s not a very precise group statement.
But the Spanish Flu of 1918 was caused by a different virus than the Bird Flu or the SARs virus or this Corona virus.
Each one is different.
All of them might lead to pneumonia and death.
The rates of death per thousand infected is different, too.
And, yes, air pollution such as China’s can lead to pneumonia and death, too.
The Spanish Flu had a 4% death rate per infection.
The Corona virus’ death rate is less than 3%.
@Nan G: Outside of Chinas shitty medical care the deathrate is even lower. The idea of Panic and run based on communist released info seems a bit illogical.
We just could’nt leave American citizens to the Chinese medical system, the comparison with the cold and the kung flu is neither virus once your system overcomes it gives you immunity from getting it again. (per daily mail)
