Scarborough: MSM Ignoring Unmasking Of Trump Aides by Obama Admin
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/31/2017 7:27:00 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On today’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough argued that the MSM is failing to cover the story of the Obama admin “unmasking”and leaking the names of Trump campaign people caught up in the intercepts of Russians.

According to Scarborough, 95% of the story is the attempt by the Russians to influence the election. But that still leaves the 5% that the MSM is ignoring because the people unmasked were disliked, and in the case of Michael Flynn, “loathed” by the media, whereas the improper activity was “by people who, let’s face it, most of the people in the media like and admire.”

It seems like Joe makes sense about what, once a week? Mika, maybe a couple of times a year?

Joe forgot about it too. If you watch the month old clip, no one, including Mika or Willy, reacts to the bombshell. I don’t think Scarborough was on the set at the time.

Here is the cover of today's NYT. Note that they cover the story of the two "Whistleblowers" but there is no coverage of the really big story from yesterday that Trump has invited the members of Congress to view the NSC documents that Nunes is talking about. I couldn't even find a mention of it earlier on Drudge.

So far zero evidence that of the Trump/Russia collusion. However we do have evidence that Obama spied on Trump and his associates.

Every ten days or so Joe has to say something that ‘sounds Republican’ so he can claim the mantle while bashing all his fellow Republicans...(with McCain, Graham, and Jeb as exceptions)

So these reporters are having a cow because NSC folks with the proper clearance showed Rep. Nunes (who also has the proper clearance and need to know) intelligence information relevant to the investigation he is leading.

It’s strange that none of these people seem to get very worked up about unnamed entities leaking classified data to THEM (the reporters), which is a felony.

Spinning, hypocritical bastards.

Well of course. The MSM are biased and cannot be trusted. Yet, they still think that we watch and listen to them and trust them. One of these days they will realize that that we have figured them out. Then again, maybe not.

Joe is an a$$hole. 95% of the story is about the Obama administration illegally spying on the incoming Trump administration using USG intelligence assets and unmasking innocent Americans, a clear felony. We have real evidence this is the case while there is no evidence or proof that the Trump team colluded with the Russians to influence the election.

Very clever of Joe to minimize and marginalize the real story. 5% my a$$.

At the time of that March 2nd interview nobody considered it a bombshell because the narrative was focused entirely on the Trump-Russia story. It was understood — without any fanfare — that Trump’s team was under surveillance ... as evidenced by the January 20th headline in the NYT. It wasn’t until Trump unleashed his Twitter storm on March 4th that anyone really began to consider the legal ramifications of what the NYT had made public. And there’s no doubt in my mind that the startling admissions of this dingbat Farkas were completely overlooked until recent days because that stupid show on MSNBC has no viewers anyway.

If you grant "5% right" as getting it right, yeah, maybe once a week.

He just follows talking points given to him anyway. News reader with a government pedigree.

There is no “ratio” there. The rush to surveil, unmask, and leak is a 100% story in and of itself. It is independent of any other story. Any story about Russia has nothing to do with Trump anyway. This is all concocted BS, and it really makes one wonder about our society at this juncture.

Didn't Yo Hschmo ignore what was right in front of his nose, on his show, several weeks ago?

Its not widely known but the US Government has been legally spying on the Israeli government for quite some time and it possible Trump's people were incidentally caught up in part of that surveillance. This explanation would fit the narrative Nunes gave that the spying was legal, incidental, and nothing to do with Russia.
