Nolte: Lying Media Shell-Shocked by Robert Mueller’s Fact Check
Breitbart ^ | 19 Jan 2019 | John Nolte

Posted on 01/19/2019 1:09:34 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Everyone in the establishment media knew BuzzFeed’s report about President Trump suborning perjury from his then-personal attorney, Michael Cohen, was a lie. What they did not expect was special counsel Robert Mueller dropping a fact check on them. They all knew it was a lie.

How could they not?

To begin with, BuzzFeed admitted it could not verify its own story. Secondly, the story made absolutely no sense.

There were two huge tells proving the BuzzFeed story a lie. 1) It made no sense that the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., testified accurately about the very thing Trump reportedly told his lawyer to lie about. 2) BuzzFeed made even less sense with the claim that the special counsel had emails and texts proving the president’s wrongdoing when we all know the president is famous for refusing to use email and texts. And only emails and texts from Trump himself would rise to the level of a smoking gun.

There are seven other reasons everyone knew this story was a lie, including the lead reporter, Jason Leopold’s, history as a liar and fabulist.

How else do we know the media knew it was a lie…?

Well, after the Mueller bomb dropped, here is Jake Tapper suddenly admitting CNN was “quite skeptical” of the story — but only admitting this after the far-left outlet spent all day blasting a story it was “quite skeptical” about to scream IMPEACHMENT.

And here is Meet the Press moderator Chuck –If It’s True — Todd admitting that neither he nor NBC News had any idea if the story was true. Nevertheless, MSNBC spent every minute of the day screaming IMPEACHMENT.

‘People are stupid’ ... by design. The populace is at the low point in deiscernment ability that the KGB designated as necessary to end this Republic.

Hasn’t Buzz Feed already played this game before with the ‘Russian Dossier’?

Too funny - they are on Mueller’s side and expected him to validate their lies even if it trashed him the rest of the way - what he did, he did out of self-defense.

Just try to imagine how much further we could have been along in the last two years on the economy, trade, immigration reform, and foreign policy, etc, if the ‘rats weren’t seditiously foot-dragging and sabotaging every pro-American effort.

It wasn't just the paleoleftist mockingbird stream media, the Fox mockingbird stream media was screaming it too. Especially Shep McFaggotsfag.

Isn’t that the truth! I hope all these seditious foot-dragging sabotaging federal employees end up getting RIF’d.

Hi.

If there were evidence that candidate Trump or anyone in Trump’s campaign had “colluded” with the Russians, it would have been leaked to the MSM two years ago.

Think about it. The FBI and NSA were conducting surveillance of Trump and his campaign from the start, to include the transition and presidency.

Any evidence would have been leaked two years ago to stop him.

The deep state, in this instance is a Charlie Foxtrot. Thank G-d.

What they did not expect was special counsel Robert Mueller dropping a fact check on them...Joe DiDenova said last night that Mueller came out and made the announcement because had he not, the to-be Attorney General Barr would have fired him as soon as he took office - Barr plays by the book, would have demanded an investigation into where the story had come from and would not have stood by to let the falsehood stand - there's about to be a new, for real sheriff in town.....

I was thinking the same thing.
Buzz Feed has already demonstrated that they are a tool for the swamp.
So what's the angle now?
Muller comes out and unchacteriscly denies the report.
Wow. What a respectable guy.

I question if the populace discerns anything at all about the whole flap. It is an event within the media

I suspect that the LEFTIST, so-called “mainstream” media is in FULL PANIC MODE, as Mueller’s comment UNDERSCORES that President Trump is 100% CORRECT on the FACT that 90% of what the TV networks claim is: FAKE NEWS.

Public trust, once lost, is difficult or impossible to regain.
(Personally, since the LIES told by ABC, CBS & NBC during the War in RVN, I’ve believed LITTLE that the main-SLIME Press has claimed. = I’m too old of a bunny to be FOOLED by their LEFTIST LIES.)

Yours, TMN78247

” they are on Mueller’s side ...”

I won’t judge Mueller until his report comes out or he makes public statements. I naively hope his report gives evidence-based conclusions with no evidence of bias. We’ll see.

I don’t know why his staff spoke out on the Buzzfeed thing.
