Since when does the press fight so much to keep a classified, hot-button political piece from being leaked? And now they are spending more time condemning Trump instead of discussing the contents of the memo. Just walked by a tv with Bloomberg on, with the anchor (for a financial news show) bitching about it. Isn't leaking shite their job, what they get up in the morning to do, their raison d'etre?

At the very least, while the memo may not show any direct illegality, it demonstrates clear impropriety at the highest levels of law enforcement in an effort to influence an election, as well as the aftermath of it.

At the very least, people from both sides can surely recognize that the standards applied for a FISA court warrant need to be remedied significantly.

Like Firemen running to a fire. Democracy dies in darkness. Truth needed now more than ever.

... except if it implicates a Democrat or gives any benefit to Trump.

Media reaction is entirely predictable and boring.

The leftist media is leftist.

When they’re implicated in it and are being paid by the Dems.

literally right after a movie about one of the most important press freedom cases in history is released, based on the release of classified information

They normally are more than happy to flout classified restriction to publish their investigative stories.

They sold out long ago.

They are nothing more now than the propaganda wing of the democrat party.

You're both right but it can't be a surprise to either of you

You give the media any out, especially given how reckless some of the "selling the memo" arguments were by less cautious Republicans, and MSM will qualify the shite out of it

More unsettling is the fact that from top to the everyday person is ok with what happened

it's why Trump needs to continue speaking directly to the people and bypassing the mess that is the MSM.

If evidence continues to be revealed he should do a prime time TV event from the oval office to speak to the public directly one on one about all of this in simple terms.

Since they became implicated.

Today’s media is obsessed with making news rather than reporting it.

What was the out for the IRS scandal? Hillary having the Benghazi YouTuber jailed? "I'll have more flexibility after the election"?

These things weren't even covered outside of Fox

McCarthy was right

The media is just the propaganda appendage of the DNC.

This more than anything is what will start to break the MSM. The Fake News Awards started the ball rolling. This is only the first little morsel of corruption and revelations to come. By the time it's all out, 95% of America will not believe anything the MSM says anymore. Brilliant move by MAGA.

This is not surprising:



Most of the MSM are the Pravda of the US.

John McCain crawls back from the veil of doom to croak out support for the democrat position.

John...Johnny..Can I call you Johnny? Die already, you traitorous cup of pus.

They are closing ranks. Providing no analysis, just commentary.

Thankfully the ball has been rolling and that is why the MSM is lashing out and acting more desperate. They are on the verge of being completely irrelevant.
