How Do We Know The Wall’s A Winning Issue For Trump? The Moron Media’s Pivot To Russia.

Donald Trump, Journalism, Media, Russia, The Establishment, The State

The Wall must be a very good issue for President Trump. How do we know this? Russia. The stark-raving moron media, with the aid of agents of the permanent state (F.B.I.), have pivoted to Russia.

The cabal now suggests that “Trump Was Secretly Working on Behalf of Russia”:

In the days after President Trump fired James B. Comey as F.B.I. director, law enforcement officials became so concerned by the president’s behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests, according to former law enforcement officials and others familiar with the investigation.

The inquiry carried explosive implications. Counterintelligence investigators had to consider whether the president’s own actions constituted a possible threat to national security. Agents also sought to determine whether Mr. Trump was knowingly working for Russia or had unwittingly fallen under Moscow’s influence.

The investigation the F.B.I. opened into Mr. Trump also had a criminal aspect, which has long been publicly known: whether his firing of Mr. Comey constituted obstruction of justice.

Agents and senior F.B.I. officials had grown suspicious of Mr. Trump’s ties to Russia during the 2016 campaign but held off on opening an investigation into him, the people said, in part because they were uncertain how to proceed with an inquiry of such sensitivity and magnitude. But the president’s activities before and after Mr. Comey’s firing in May 2017, particularly twoinstances in which Mr. Trump tied the Comey dismissal to the Russia investigation, helped prompt the counterintelligence aspect of the inquiry, the people said.

Buried in this journalistic rubble—in this pile of piss-poor, self-serving, one-track analysis, which should have been entitled, “This Could Have Happened”—is this:

No evidence has emerged publicly that Mr. Trump was secretly in contact with or took direction from Russian government officials. An F.B.I. spokeswoman and a spokesman for the special counsel’s office both declined to comment.

A better title for this latest New York Times garbage: “This Could Have Happened.”

Left Libertarian Tries Hard To Shed Light on Fake News, But Sheds Only Darkness

Donald Trump, IMMIGRATION, Journalism, libertarianism, Media

On the Trump-Acosta relationship, Reason magazine’s Katherine Mangu Ward writes the usual light, breezy commentary, lacking in gravitas, typical of left-libertarians.

Her eyes are wide shut in wonderment: Fake News Media? What? Where? What’s that?

Via the NYTimes, naturally

Even after two years of this administration, it is alarming to hear a president refer to the press as “the enemy of the people” and to consistently attack and undermine the media as it tries to hold him to account. It’s especially jarring when he singles out individual reporters for criticism.

No wonder Ms. Mangu-Ward got my award for the stupidest statement made to Saint Tucker Carlson, last year, in favor of a border-less America.

She told Tucker that, “If we had a billion people in America, America would be unstoppable. That would be amazing.”
There’s a method to the open-border religion, preached, invariably, from the alternate universe of the TV studio or creature comforts of a stately home.

Watch Randi Kaye Generate Fake News For CNN

Elections, Ethics, Journalism, Media

Here is the SHAMEFUL Randi Kaye of CNN. She is not asking her subjects open-ended question, as a journalist should.

INSTEAD, Kaye’s questions suggest the right answers her subjects must furnish. And when the subjects reply, Kaye has chosen to do a partial voice-over, rather than allow the viewers to  hear their opinions unvarnished.

Disgraceful. The very embodiment of generating Fake News.

‘Just Sit Down’: POTUS Stands Up For Civility, Firmly Accosts Out-of-Control Jim Acosta

“CNN should be ashamed of itself having you working for them,” Trump said. “You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN.”

Trump added that the way [Jim] Acosta had treated Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was “awful.”

The president then moved to address the next questioner

Trump had acted as magnificently before.

I had previously commented on “Trump’s firm, forthright, masterful control” in similar situations, observing that when Trump takes control of the media scrum, he is doing something much more fundamental.

As I pointed out in “The Trump Revolution: The Donald’s Creative destruction Deconstructed,” and before it:

As this writer sees it, Trump was doing something much more modest and more valuable.

Common rules of procedure are as traditionally Anglo-American as they come. Instinctively did an ethnic agitator seek to sack a common American custom. As reflexively, Donald Trump moved to restore a timeless, civilizing practice.
