Ever since Mike Cernovich dropped the bombshell report over the weekend outing Obama's National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, as the person behind the unmasking of the identity of various members of Trump's team who were 'incidentally' surveilled during the 2016 campaign (see "Confirmed: Susan Rice "Unmasked" Trump Team"), a report which was subsequently confirmed by Eli Lake of Bloomberg earlier this morning, everyone has been wondering who within the Trump White House or the intelligence community supplied him with such a massive scoop.
But, as it turns out, Cernovich didn't need a 'deep throat' within the NSA or CIA for his blockbuster scoop, all he needed was some well-placed sources inside of a couple of America's corrupt mainstream media outlets. As Cernovich explains below, his sources for the Susan Rice story were actually folks working at Bloomberg and the New York Times who revealed that both Eli Lake (Bloomberg) and Maggie Haberman (NYT) were sitting on the Susan Rice story in order to protect the Obama administration.
"Maggie Haberman had it. She will not run any articles that are critical of the Obama administration."
"Eli Lake had it. He didn't want to run it and Bloomberg didn't want to run it because it vindicates Trump's claim that he had been spied upon. And Eli Lake is a 'never Trumper.' Bloomberg was a 'never Trump' publication."
"I'm showing you the politics of 'real journalism'. 'Real journalism' is that Bloomberg had it and the New York Times had it but they wouldn't run it because they don't want to run any stories that would make Obama look bad or that will vindicate Trump. They only want to run stories that make Trump look bad so that's why they sat on it."
"So where did I get the story? I didn't get it from the intelligence community. Everybody's trying to figure out where I got it from. I got it from somebody who works in one of those media companies. I have spies in every media organization. I got people in news rooms. I got it from a source within the news room who said 'Cernovich, they're sitting on this story, they're not going to run it, so you can run it'."
"If you're at Bloomberg, I have people in there. If you're at the New York Times, I have people in there. LA Times, Washington Post, you name it, I have my people in there. I got IT people in every major news room in this country. The IT people see every email so that's how I knew it."

And while this could certainly be interpreted as a clever ploy to protect his real sources, Cernovich's video comments seem to be validated by both his tweet from yesterday afternoon...
...and the fact that Eli Lake of Bloomberg was able to conveniently confirm Cernovich's story with his own article this morning.
All of which just begs the question of what other stories the mainstream media is sitting on in an effort to protect their chosen candidates.
They covered for him for 8 long years. Even Hagerman wouldn’t run the story even after he’s out of office. DemocRATS will never change.
If it was legitimate, shouldn’t she have stayed quiet rather than going on PBS and saying “I know nothing?”
I’m not arguing with you, just trying to think it through. I believe she lied to Woodruff. I want to hear Lake’s segment on Levin’s show.
Guess again,lives with parents as of 4 months ago.
Not really he’s a pig.Did you ever read his book?
Never tell the enemy what you are doing.
He expects sex if you date him.He just throws out his penis and says what am I suppose to do with this.Did you read his book.
Exactly, and Newsweek was sitting on THAT story as well
That point was discussed, and from what I recall, Lake indicated that Rice followed with a comment that neutered the remark; e.g., “that was in violation of ethics...” or something remotely relevant.
This is sedition. Nothing less.
No, I have not read his book.
Remember, Cernovich also says his inside sources are predicting an elite pedogate take down coming eventually.
This used to be Drudge’s M.O. Has Cernovich taken over from Drudge as the breaker of big stories?
awww, free hugs.....
Don’t you just want to hug everyone here?
That’s why,ask him he will admit it.Why he was picked for the outside circle I will never know.He’s a pig.He doesn’t care.
The American Press is out of control, and totally corrupt at the top. Name ‘em and they’re dirty and without conscience. letting innocent be plundered and slandered, forced to retire, or resign, or else so locked down they are unable to function in their jobs and careers.
There must be consequences and accountability, law suits, and verdicts, sentencing, jail time and break-the-house fines, licenses revoked, multiple firings and suspensions.
Nothing else short of the Hammer of Justice falling on these evil, treasonous institutions will impact a scintilla of change, without HUGE repercussions for their corruption.
Get lost.Truth hurts.
Are you saying they got the story wrong?
I think Cernovich is really stupid for revealing these tidbits and that he has spies on the inside.
Bad OPSEC.
That's what all the obot douchebag leftists say. You sound just like an obot douchebag leftist.
Churchill actually tried to warn Stalin that the Abwehr was tricking him into killing off all the competent Soviet generals, and that an invasion was imminent, but he would not or could not believe it. After all, he had a treaty with the Nazis and they'd helped him gobble up half of Poland. It will be fun to watch fair play turn about as these "news" rooms turn over rocks trying to figure out who the mole(s) is (are).
