ke News: For eight years, it was virtually impossible to get reporters interested in legitimate Obama administration scandals. Now, reporters are so eager to run scandal stories about the incoming Trump administration that they are making them up.

Case in point is the CNN hit piece on Rep. Tom Price — Trump's pick to head the Health and Human Services Department — for supposedly engaging in insider trading last year.

What happened to the “golden shower” story?

It seems to have vanished.

And I’m still waiting for Tom Arnold’s “tapes”.

Bump. Because the media, the so-called “Fourth Estate” has become a Fifth Column.

The main stream media is the pipeline/pathway for the progressive’s efforts to use Neurolinguistic programming on the low information portion of the population whose votes that still need to execute their agenda. Say it often enough (Susan Rice) and many accept it as truth... Somewhere George Orwell is laughing.

No, they won’t. They hate him and he hates them. This is war.
