Mika: CNN/Buzzfeed “let their bias get in the way” in running Trump-Russia story
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/11/2017 6:27:07 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Of all the Morning Joe crew, you might be surprised to learn that it was liberal Dem Mika Brzezinski who this morning took the toughest shots at CNN and Buzzfeed for publishing unverified stories containing salacious allegations regarding Donald Trump’s business dealings with, and personal behavior in, Russia.

Mika also speculated that the intelligence community might have propagated the story as payback for Trump having insulted them.

Brzezinski first wondered whether CNN and Buzzfeed went with the story “because they hate [Trump] so much, or is the intelligence community literally putting the screws to Donald Trump because he insulted them?”

The intel community is in for house cleaning after Trump’s inauguration...and I’m sure we will find out that John Brennan is behind all of this.

Didn’t Chuck Schumer say the intels were going to get back at Trump? With a stupid story pushed by some pranksters in their parent’s basement.

Clean house, Mr. Trump!

The FRAUD has made sure to surround himself with people of lesser intelligence than His Petulance.

Dan RaTHer must be loving life right now to have had the “intelligence community” make him look smart by comparison.

The Obama/DemWit swamp of corruption is much deeper and wider than any of us could imagine... Trump should fire every federal employee he can! NONE can be trusted!!!

Brian Williams was all a-twitter too, Mika, but of course fake news is his thing.

When even normally Left-leaning MSNBC is skeptical of the BuzzFeed story, everyone knows BuzzFeed is done.

Mika's value to MSNBC is over next Friday. She was on ValJar's speed dial, and could always be counted on to preach the White House line over the past 8 years.

These fake stories are good bias tests.

Remember Bush43 National Guard story? MSM runs with it until it is proven false, via typeface font.

Bias is the filter to which why categorize (i.e. avoid) sources.

The other angle to this story: “National Review” #NeverTrumpers are still not over it.

MSNBC had Rick Wilson on late last night, at the same time the storyline was being thoroughly debunked by many, including Trump’s team, Freepers, and Russia. On its face, the rumor is laughably ludicrous but that didn’t stop McCain, CNN, and other anti-Trump nut cases from running with it.

Don’t let Mika fool you, she is a far left as it gets but she would like to suck up to Trump and get out of his doghouse. She also would like better ratings than CNN which was so hot on this fake news.

The old Florida phrase 'When you're up to your ass in alligators it's hard to remember the original goal was to drain the swamp" is true. But it just became easier - - Swamp alligators outed themselves - Trump's job just got a whole lot easier.
