After 10,000 texts between FBI Agent Peter Strzok and his lover, Justice Dept. lawyer Lisa Page, were made public, the three national broadcast networks very predictably disgraced themselves with their fake coverage of the matter. But then, it would have been actual news had they behaved otherwise, and these networks are not in the business of making or covering real news anymore.
None of the networks mentioned the two federal employees were engaged in an extra-marital affair, and none mentioned the most disturbing message of all, the one Strzok sent to Page reading, “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office – that there’s no way he [Trump] gets elected – but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40…”
Wait, what? The “Andy” to whom they’re referring is obviously FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, but what is this “insurance policy” the two apparently discussed with McCabe, a policy that would presumably undermine Trump should he ultimately win the election? No one at any of the three networks had the curiosity to ask, much less report on that key question.
Nor did any of the networks cover the later exchange that begins with Page texting, “maybe you’re meant to stay where you are because you’re meant to protect the country from that menace,” to which Strzok – who apparently thinks he is the FBI’s version of Batman – replies, “I can protect our country at many levels”, presumably referring to whatever secret “insurance policy” had been hatched in the office of Andrew McCabe.
All of which probably adds up to the real reason why McCabe suddenly decided to cancel his long-scheduled Tuesday appearance before the House Judiciary Committee at the last minute – he may need time to coordinate with the DNC and the fake media on a set of talking points about this “insurance policy”.
But the 20 million or so Americans who for some inexplicable reason still get their “news” from ABC, NBC and CBS all went to bed blissfully unaware of any of this, which, of course, was the networks’ collective goal.
Elsewhere, fake host Anderson Cooper and the PR hacks at CNN had to scramble to come up with an explanation for a highly-inflammatory tweet that was sent out from Cooper’s Twitter feed early Wednesday morning. After President Donald Trump tweeted that “The reason I originally endorsed Luther Strange (and his numbers went up mightily), is that I said Roy Moore will not be able to win the General Election. I was right!”, the Cooper account quickly came back with “Oh Really? You endorsed him you tool! Pathetic loser.”
Cooper then went into panic mode, first tweeting that he “just woke up to find out someone gained access to my twitter account. i have not sent a tweet in days or replied to any tweets. We are looking into how this happened.”
CNN officials, already seeing what little credibility they had remaining – which, let’s face it, wasn’t much – swirling down the Anderson Cooper toilet, later issued an absurd explanation that said that “His assistant inadvertently left his phone unlocked and unattended at the gym early this morning, and someone took his phone and sent the tweet.” Which of course is ridiculously and hilariously false.
Either Cooper sent the tweet or his assistant sent it in a fit of pique. That’s the only rational scenario that would explain this. But rather than just admit that, apologize for the incident, and move on, CNN wants you to believe that some random guy at the assistant’s “gym” picked up the phone, somehow realized he could shoot a tweet from Cooper’s Twitter account, paged through the news to figure out what he wanted to tweet about, and then sent that inflammatory tweet, all while the assistant was working out or whatever he was doing at his “gym.”
The main thing this proves is that whomever it was at CNN that came up with this cock and bull story has no future whatsoever writing scripts for James Bond movies.
Just another day in the fake news never ends America.
That is all.
I sense that the title is an homage to Robert Earl Keen.
I consider his work “Farm Fresh Onions” to be art.
And we are still paying for these seditious liars because have not been fired by the crooked FBI. Someone should pry the lid off this cesspool.
What stopped you from posting the whole thing?
Is there something you need to hide?
Porn? Scientology? A Pokemon fixation?

bumblegummer bumbles along.
Yes and yes. :)
You’re just so clever, bless your little pea-pickin’ heart.
humblegunner, I think I’ve figured out your problem.
All this time I thought it was poor diet and eating habits causing an habitual crankiness and surliness.
I was wrong!
Instead I think you’re spending entirely too much time on FR and this has resulted in consistent and unrestrained zealotry. Probably limiting your time here might result in the soothing of a ruffled soul.
But, just to cover all bases, I still think that your not eating well may be a contributing factor.
In this vein, why don’t you come by tonight? Baked chicken hind-quarters, and parmesan Acorn squash.
We eat well around here and as a result are pretty at ease with the world.
You may be right, I’m sure there are numerous contributing factors.
I appreciate the invitation but am pretty much booked up through the holidays.
bumblegummer’s diet consists of chewing on his own fingernails.
How does the #3 man in the FBI have time to send 10,000 texts to anyone?

So why?
Sorry, but ‘So why?’ what?
Gunner served me the finest Free Range Liberian Monkey Meat Kebabs™® I ever had.
And he did it in an atmosphere filled with panache and good humor.
And guns.
Lots of guns.
I suspect, then, that we lots in common. (Especially the guns).
We all have lots in common. Especially the guns. Lots and lots of guns. :)
Can NEVER have enough guns and/or ammo.
So why was the blog excerpted?
