CNN downplays Michael Flynn 'unmasking' bombshell after years of wall-to-wall Russia-Trump coverage
Fox News ^ | May 13 2020 | Brian Flood

After breathlessly covering the Trump-Russia collusion theory for years, CNN tried to skip past Wednesday’s breaking news about Michael Flynn related to the since-debunked narrative -- but critics say that's par for the course.

Top Obama administration officials -- including ex-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who is now a CNN analyst, and others working with then-Vice President Joe Biden -- purportedly requested to "unmask" the identity of the former national security adviser during the presidential transition period, according to a list of names made public by Republican senators on Wednesday.

They didn’t KNOW to unmask him, he had been in intel and the bastards had to get him out of the administration because he would have found out what they were up to!! The we’re looking for something to get him on listening to ALL of his phone calls for something to get him fired and OUT!!

CNN is like the New York Times/Walter Duranty “non-reporting” of Stalin’s genocide against the Ukrainians in the 1930’s. “See no evil (because we weren’t looking for it); hear no evil because we believed everything the Soviet communists told us; speak no evil about communism nor speak the truth about the genocide it was perpetrating”.

Do I get a brass ring for this one?
