- "...Schiff has filled print and broadcast media since January 2017 claiming that he has seen “more than circumstantial evidence” of a Trump-Putin conspiracy.
- ...None of the former Obama administration officials who took to the airwaves immediately after Trump’s election to claim collusion had any evidence of it.
- ...Former Pentagon official and now candidate for New York’s 17th Congressional District Evelyn Farkas claimed in a notorious 2017 MSNBC segment that she advised her colleagues to disseminate intelligence so that Trump could not destroy evidence of collusion. Under oath, however, she testified she “didn’t know anything” about Trump staff dealing with Russians.
...The transcripts also represent yet another blow to the media’s credibility.
...No matter what evidence surfaced to prove the collusion story wrong, the media continued to credential the destructive conspiracy theory.
- It didn’t matter when Objective Medusa showed that former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele’s reports were paid for by the Clinton campaign.
- Or when the Nunes memo explained that the FBI used the Steele dossier to obtain a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign.
- It didn’t even matter when resistance messiah Robert Mueller concluded there was no evidence of collusion.
After Mueller filed his report last spring, CNN’s Jake Tapper said that “I don’t know anybody who got anything wrong.”
Don’t expect anyone in the mainstream media to admit gross journalistic malpractice this time either. The tragic fact is that once-prestigious press organizations, including CNN as well as MSNBC, the New York Times and the Washington Post, weren’t fooled by the collusion hoax.
They were an essential part of it."
