Trump Campaign Distributes Memo Telling Media To Steer Clear Of Collusion Conspiracy Theorists
Daily Caller ^ | March 26, 2019 | Chris White

Posted on 03/26/2019 7:55:20 AM PDT by COUNTrecount

President Donald Trump’s campaign team is distributing a memo requesting members of the media to stay away from pundits who promote claims that the president colluded with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election.

“Moving forward, we ask that you employ basic journalistic standards when booking such guests to appear anywhere in your universe of productions,” the memo to TV producers notes. The memo, which was reported by Axios’ Jonathan Swan, cites former CIA Director John Brennan and Democratic California Rep. Adam Schiff as two such people who should be handled with care.

“At a minimum, if these guests do reappear, you should replay the prior statements and challenge them to provide the evidence which prompted them to make the wild claims in the first place,” the memo notes. It effectively lectures cable news channels like CNN and MSNBC about how to do journalism.

Trump Tweet...

The Mainstream Media is under fire and being scorned all over the World as being corrupt and FAKE. For two years they pushed the Russian Collusion Delusion when they always knew there was No Collusion. They truly are the Enemy of the People and the Real Opposition Party!

They don't know how to do that.

The media went off the rails and has neglected any sense of fairness or skepticism. Until and unless they shape up, we are right to identify them as Leftist activists with mics and cameras, NOT journalists.

IMHO, the White House intends to deal with the liars and frauds, by law suits or maybe fines(?).

The media will do exactly the opposite of what this memo requests. Da Nang Dick will be invited to speak hundreds of times.

The “media” is such a pathetic joke and an embarrassment to the First Amendment. What integrity-free putzes.

Perhaps in these WH press conferences, whenever collusion is brought up...Sarah should hand out tin-foil hats to the journalists, and congratulate them on their conspiracies.

The media’s 24/7 coverage of the bogus collusion could have had triggered more serious consequences.

There was real “animus” toward Trump seen in the hacked emails of Obama’s FBI, DOJ and the rest of the intel apprat.

The buzz is there were sotto voices all over the place looking to “take Trump out.” We know they are very good at rub-outs.

Yes, writing memos to the media to lecture them on standards is a waste of time. The current crop of “journalists” that infest the media are permanently biased against Trump and will continue to relentlessly attack him.

Broadcast license renews and in-kind donations during the campaign.

This season will be heaven for accountants and compliance specialists. /smile

I think a lot of it come from their own imagination...

“Anonymous source”, to journalists, actually means “this is what I thought up last night”....

They are not journalist..and the only way for these “news” outlets to redeem themselves would be to fire..at the very least.. half of their employees.
Which they will not do.

This is so great. Like a dream coming true.

When the sappy CNN types say “Oh, we are protected under freedom of the press....”
we can say “Don’t change the subject. We were discussing reputable journalists and professional standards. Nothing to do with you guys at CNN.”
