Nixon was a staunch “progressive”. But the media hated him for being anti-communist.

Watergate was a media coup. It served as a warning to all politicians that the media held their careers in there hands.

It was a consolidation of the power of the mediacracy.

Meanwhile, from watching the news, the major evil in the world is Trump University.

Kirby said that while it was wrong to edit the video, there's no basis for investigating the issue further.

"There were no rules in place at the time to govern this sort of action, so while I believe it was an inappropriate step to take, I see little foundation for pressing forward with a formal investigation," he said.

"I'm pretty sure there were no rules in place for recording people in the Oval Office and yet everyone went out of their minds over those 18 minutes. Live and learn, I guess. Live and learn."

This “altering” of videos is now becoming epidemic.

On Hannity last night, there was a similar “staged video” done by Telemundo at the epic California protest. Did you see that one too? Geeeez, it’s becoming common practice for the Left.

These media creeps are getting out of control.

I’m thinking also about that guy... what is his name... the one who just last week was outed for saying reporters are no nothings and he sold the boobs on the Iran Missile deal, and they wrote it up exactly as he told it.

He is an appointee, alright. A hitman for the administration and beholden in his position, to Valerie Jarrett.

Good guess. And she is only responsible to one person. Or is he to her?

Kirby is a total disgrace and should be court-martialed (I believe he was an admiral. Whose navy I couldn’t tell).

Zactly! That’s him. Ben Rhodes! A real serpent. He would do just this kind of “alteration”, wouldn’t he, or know whom to call upon to get it done.

Thank you, Prince!
