Where’s the wall-to-wall coverage …
Something hidden in the New York Times … An initial version of a story about the corruption trial of Senator Robert Menendez in the New York Times didn’t mention that he is a Democrat. According to Josh Jordan on Twitter, the information was “quietly added” to the story. If this was a Republican, the headline would have screamed “GOP Senator faces corruption trial tomorrow.” This is the Times’ subtle bias at work.
Unfair to Democrats … The Hill published a laughable op-ed by defense lawyer Joel Cohen that said prosecuting Menendez for corruption “unfairly punishes Democratic voters.” Like that should have anything to do with it. The gist is that since NJ has a GOP governor, if Menendez needs to resign from the Senate, a GOP senator would most probably replace him. This is simple: If he’s guilty, this is Menendez’s fault alone.
Media gray-out … While there has been some coverage in the media of the trial, it is scant and often confined to spaces off the front pages. You have to dig to find the coverage. Bre Payton, writing at The Federalist, has a good breakdown of the lack of coverage.
Cable networks not covering … Over the last 48 hours, on the cusp of the trial, the only network to cover it was MSNBC, with a short mention in the 9:30 news rundown this morning and a brief mention on Morning Joe yesterday, where it was stressed that Menendez has a presumption of innocence. There was no mention on any of the “Sunday shows.”

Fake news media ignores true news.
Of a Democrat criminal.
Keep that in mind as these irrelevant chihuahuas nip at Trump’s heels.
Gotta protect their buddies. Wouldn’t want any negative publicity dontcha know.
And why ain't they screaming to high heaven?
The longer they continue down the path, the harsher the judgement and price they’ll pay. Trump is trying to do handle the country’s business. However, within the next two years the target will become his opposition including that within his own party and the failing NYT.
It’s OK.
He did it with the best of intentions.
He only wants to help the little people by stealing their money.
We should all have a good sob and let him go. He’s a Virtuous Victim of the Evil Anglos, what can he do except extort people and sell influence?
It’s all our fault.
Trial and conviction just enhances a democrat’s resume ala Alcee Hastings and Marian “Dem Bishes set me up” Berry from DC
And where do tell....are the Pubbies...? <<
Do you really need to ask?....
They are cowering in the corners asking.....Gawd!..will I be next???
The headlines the next day: TRUMP CAN'T SWIM!
And I don't believe they are cowering.....
Don’t faint; I’m shocked. CNN actually described him as a Democrat. Maybe they’re pretty confident in liberal judges? Dunno

We will see how this shakes out.
So let’s keep this post trending. We can not rely on the MSM to actually report news since they are biased and only report news that follows the narrative.

“Trial and conviction just enhances a democrat’s resume..”
Street cred..
FakeNews = Largely fictional, heavily biased story designed to divert attention from important real news and or advance the SJW, Libtard agenda.
UnNews = MSM ignoring actual important news that doesn’t fit the SJW, Libtard agenda.
