The trouble with pushing an agenda driven narrative comes when you are forced to switch which narrative you are pushing.
Oh what a tangled web they weave, its only themselves that they deceive.
To: dead
We have inadvertently printed news that no longer fits our agenda. Disregard the previously printed news. It is no longer news.

...what the NYT's long-winded explanation boils down to is that Trump's inner circle was wiretapped, but the difference is whether Obama knew about it or not... Who in the Obama administration had the authority to wiretap the President-elect on his own, without informing the current President? I would sure like to see that list of names.
I think the average voter might believe, just like I do, that there isn't a single name on that list.

The trouble with pushing an agenda driven narrative comes when you are forced to switch which narrative you are pushing. In "1984" it was handled very smoothly -- "We have always been at war with Eastasia."
In real life, such changes become ... messy.

IN THE NY TIMES PIPELINE---JUST THE NEWS THE NYT FEELS IS FIT TO PRINT: only the NYT was brave enough to expose Obama's wire-tapping Trump. We next report Obama's next moves.
Seems Obama has heard disturbing reports that some Democrats have been disloyal to him, and, like any reasonable Third World dictator, he wishes to take (cough) appropriate action.
The next sound you'll hear is Obama conducting surveillance on liberals and progressives. He'll compile dossiers on their sexual activities, financial holdings, and record any suggestions of disloyalty to him.

Great point!
I am reminded of many of the Communist front groups prior to WWII that were demonstrating in the USA for US involvement in the European war to fight the Germans, then, when Hitler and Stalin signed the pact, they changed their placards to plead for isolationism, and for the US not to become involved in the war.
Then, when Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, they simply dropped their placards and held up new ones imploring the US to fight the menace of Germany.
In retrospect, we can all roll our eyes, but hey, it is the exact same thing liberals and the media do quite effortlessly today.
If something becomes more expedient, without any explanation or shame, they change their colors in midstream and carry on as if nothing happened.
Think Eurasia and Eastasia.

Of course he knew about it, he read it in the paper, he got briefings on it. Look, he took credit for the SEALs killing bin Laden, he can do no less here.

Obama is the ultimate control freak. Nobody did anything in his administration without him knowing about it.
