How Many Democratic Scandals Does It Take For The Media To Give Them Proper Coverage?
SeriouslyMedia.com ^ | Oct . 26, 2017 | JOSEPH A. WULFSOHN

This week, CNN launched a new ad campaign called “Facts Firsts.” In its ad, it featured an apple and a narrator explained how some may try calling it a banana, but it’s still an apple. There was both praise and mockery of the new campaign. Nonetheless, CNN clearly sees itself as the one outlet in all of news media where facts come first. So how much time did CNN spend on a subject like the Uranium One deal that’s now being scrutinized? Within seven days since the story broke, it dedicated less than four minutes (according to conservative media watchdog MRC.) That amount of coverage was clearly dwarfed by the coverage they gave to President Trump‘s feud with Rep. Frederica Wilson and Gold Star widow Myeshia Johnson or his spat with outgoing senators Bob Corker and Jeff Flake. CNN is in good company with underreporting, since CBS only gave it 69 seconds and ABC and NBC gave zero coverage to Uranium One. And just this morning, ABC News failed to give a full report on how the DNC and the Clinton campaign funded research for the Trump dossier, making a roughly 30-second reference at the tail-end of another report. Which begs the question: how many Democratic scandals does it take for the media to give them proper coverage? There are plenty of controversies that can be discussed, but there are six politically damaging stories in particular that Democrats would rather not talk about (and apparently, the media as well):

This site, or maybe just the author of the article at the site doesn’t quite get it. THE MEDIA, AND THE DEMOCRAT PARTY ARE ONE, AND THE SAME.

They will not.

The media conflates genital issues over everything.

The left has a lock on their minds because everything to them is an issue below the belt.

Does someone have an address I can send bananas too at CNN? I would love to see a campaign whereby CNN started receiving bananas in boxes.

The MSM will NEVER cover Democratic scandals by calling them ‘Democratic scandals’.

The media are involved up to their greasy necks - the Steele dossier, for example, which would have had no effect whatever on the election without open media complicity. The entire “Russia interfered” meme, cooked up by Hillary and her campaign staff on the day after her loss, depended entirely on the media to pass the word. Those who weren’t open partisans or bought outright were frightened into cooperation by 0bama’s employment of the IRS and the DOJ. Which he learned from You Know Who in the first place.

The media are co-conspirators with a foreign power to obstruct justice - appoint a special prosecutor and see how they like it.

News coverage is not needed to cover scandals. DOJ just needs to do their thing in silence, then in one day indict the whole nest of vipers.

No cevwrage then? Well, maybe they’ll cover the sentencing.

The Ministry of Propaganda is not there to distribute facts, it is there to broadcast a narrative.

The narrative must always support the agenda.

Don’t hold your breath, when we say the media is 95% Liberals we mean it. When we say these liberals, take your pick, editorialize all news reports to skew anti-Trump, just watch them.

Put Hillary or Pelosi in Gayle Kings chair or NorDUH ODonnells chair and you would not notice ANY difference in the reporting as it will sound like the “reporter” is a card carrying liberal party member activist.
