I have disliked journalists for a long time. Mostly because the hide the truth. They choose not to report on things that make the Left look bad. That sort of incomplete coverage is shameful.

But I really am shocked at how extreme it has all become since 2016. Journalists now openly lie. They just make stuff up to make Republicans look bad. That's worse than hiding the truth.

The First Amendment should not protect liars.

Look up “Smarmy” in your dictionary.
There you’ll find a pix of Scott Pelley.

It is barely even worthwhile anymore (in my opinion) to even point out the lies.

I simply assume nearly everything they say in the Media is a lie, and everything needs to be researched for accuracy.

the actual, for real “whistleblower” in this whole circumstance is the President and this retributive show trial being orchestrated in the House is about Federal retribution upon a whistleblower (President Trump) for having shone the light of day upon their treasonous, seditious conniving

Might have spelled the end for Trump 30 years ago when people actually watched that show.

Is it journalism when a Democrat thief covers up for other Democrat thieves?

For perspective.

Scott Pelley Leads 60 Minutes Impeachment Coverage With Lie: “Whistleblower Under Federal Protection”…

Posted on  by 

CBS Reporter Scott Pelley led the broadcast of 60-Minutes presentation of the House impeachment of Donald Trump with a stunning claim:

“Tonight, “60 Minutes” has obtained a letter that indicates the government whistleblower who set off the impeachment inquiry of President Trump is under federal protection, because he or she fears for their safety.”

(Video and Transcript)

The claim is quite something.  A CIA operative that needs to be put under federal protection?  Wow. Immediately CNN and the media pounced on the opportunity to promote the “whistleblower” as a victim.

Except, they encountered one problem…. it’s not true.   Scott Pelley made it up.

Even one of the lawyers for the CIA whistleblower, Mark S. Zaid, had to try and clean up CBS’s false narrative:  “60 Minutes completely misinterpreted the contents of our letter.”

(Here’s the Link To The Letter)

Heck, if this is the propaganda within the pre-impeachment coverage, can you even imagine how much false media propaganda is yet to come….

UPDATE:  In a rather remarkable turn-of-events, CBS says they stand by their reporting and their sources…..  However, their sources are the ‘whistleblower’s’ lawyers.  The lawyers, aka the “CBS sources”, say CBS is fake news:

So Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election, but now he is colluding with Russia’s enemy, Ukraine? How does this make sense?

I also keep thinking and saying of the DemocRATS...
HYPOCRITES!!!

Pray for America. Pray for our president!

Pelley has never been able to open his mouth without a lie falling out.

A gay relative’s obit was all about how close he and Pelley were. Don’t know if that was a lie for AtTeNtIoN! or they were, uh, close. Don’t know either way but it was creepy.

Media - no accountability. Democrats - no accountability. Deepstate - no accountability. Why would they stop lying and plotting?
