Pete & Lisa Got Caught Tampering With Flynn's 302!
THREE!
THREE MORE EXCITING DAYS OF FAKE NEWS ABOUT THE IG FISA REPORT!!!!
AAAAAAAH HAAAAA. HAAAAA. HAAAAAAAAH!
[sound of thunder]
To those who **claim** to be betting on the ghosts mumbling in the dark in anonymity to the NYT's, WaPo & CNN:
How much have you bet on those anonymous ghosts too chickenshit to put their name behind their claims to the Fake News Media?
Ball park figure? $1? $2?
If you're a news media figure & you're BETTING your "money" [i.e., your credibility as a news media figure] on these ghosts rattling their chains down in the basement, consider this:
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU'RE PLACING YOUR BET DOWN ON.
You don't know who these people ARE.
This is about the dumbest freaking thing someone could do.
Remember what the whole POINT of this meme I created is about:
On the record people who put their faces behind what they're claiming vs. anonymous chickenshits leaking to the Fake News Media.
You know what was HARD for me?
Over 2 1/2 years watching media figures ON THE RIGHT, who claimed to be Trump supporters, taking every Fake News Media story based on anonymous leaks about the Mueller Special Counsel and FRIGHTENING people with them.
Every NYT's, WaPo, CNN story based on anonymous leaks about the Mueller investigation, the Fake News on Left & Right took it & ran with it, with only 1 major difference: Left would claim the 'mountains' of collusion evidence Mueller had was REAL.
Right would say it's FAKE.
I literally watched the EXACT SAME NEWS CYCLE play out over & over again.
NYT's/WaPo/CNN publishes story about NEW COLLUSION EVIDENCE Mueller has, Trump is frantic, WH in panic, etc.
Left/Right Fake News Media GRABS story, runs with it!
And then...usually not even 48 hours later, many times within 24 hours, even the SAME DAY, what happens?
While Right Fake News Media is SCARING everybody about how Mueller is FAKING his collusion case against Trump, the story BLOWS UP and gets debunked.
Here's what I concluded after almost 3 years of watching that.
These people in the Fake News Media here on the Right, the Trump-supporting Right, can't POSSIBLY be this dumb.
I've met some of them, watched them for awhile now.
Definitely NOT STUPID.
So that tells me this is a BUSINESS MODEL for them.
It is not that they can't learn not to trust anonymous sources in stories from the Left's Fake News Media who all have a truly abysmal track record the past 3 years.
They think SCARING PEOPLE is GOOD BUSINESS.
And it's not.
Scaring people is not a good business model when in order to keep them good and scared & in hysterical panic & rushing to your news channel or website, you end up having to endorse LIES to them over and over and over again.
Often quickly DEBUNKED lies.
Now, the MAJOR lie the Left's Fake News Media in the NYT's & WaPo & CNN when it came to RussiaGate during the 2 1/2+ yrs of Mueller's SC, was that he was FINDING KEY EVIDENCE that proved collusion. He was finding a LOT of it.
The major lie of the Right's Fake News Media when it came to RussiaGate during the 2 1/2+ years of Mueller's SC was that he wasn't really finding any REAL evidence of Trump/Russia collusion, but he was getting ready to FAKE IT, and bring & indictments based on fraud.
What was the truth? What did we learn after Mueller finally closed shop, turned in his final report & testified to Congress?
He had NOTHING on Trump/Russia collusion, real OR fake.
All he ended up having was a truly exotic 'obstruction of justice' theory he PUNTED to Barr/RR.
Barr and RR had a look at this obstruction theory, which I and a lot of other people are pretty sure came straight from Andrew Weissman, looked at how it was based on a truly wacky interpretation of the legal statute, had a good laugh, shitcanned it and went out for beer.
I really woke up to what these Fake News People on the Right were doing when I watched them go after Matthew Whitaker with a VENGEANCE for daring to contradict the narratives they were peddling to their readers/viewers/listeners when he announced the Mueller SC would end soon.
Here they were claiming for months that Mueller had indictments coming for Don Jr., for Jared Kushner, and others, that the Mueller SC was nowhere NEAR being finished, no major players in the RussiaGate scandal had been indicted for collusion yet, etc etc.
They were also claiming there was NO WAY Mueller would shut down and end the SC before the 2020 election.
What an absurd idea, that this could possibly happen.
So we got a few weeks of "Whitaker the Deep State Liar" or "Whitaker The Clueless Chump" stories.
AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED?
Whitaker turned out to be TELLING THE TRUTH.
News media people on the Right spent WEEKS attacking this guy for TELLING THE TRUTH.
I can't TELL you how much that pissed me off.
Because that's the SECOND tell you're dealing with a Fake News Media, whether of Left or Right:
They not only peddle lies to their audience with enthusiasm when they should know better, they also end up attacking people who are speaking the truth.
This is why I HATE THEM.
It was obvious to anybody who bothered to research and dig that not only was Mueller NOT finding any real collusion evidence, there were plenty of signs that he was in NO POSITION TO TRY TO FAKE A COLLUSION CASE EITHER.
I spent 2 1/2 years explaining why.
Mueller learned VERY EARLY ON in the existence of the SC team he formed that THEY WERE BEING WATCHED by both RR and Horowitz.
Mueller had people stripped off his team for misconduct, 2 of who's names became nationally famous in Dec. of 2017 when Horowitz released text messages.
There were plenty of other signs Mueller wasn't finding anything real. That team got so desperate, they ended up futilely digging through the long-deceased Fred Trump's estate taxes.
"They're just being thorough!" it was claimed.
Hell no. They were THAT DESPERATE.
So here's the 3rd tell you are dealing with Fake News Media of the Right: They are LAZY.
They don't do any digging or researching, they're often just taking the latest FAKE NEWS from the Left based on shit sourcing & tweaking it a bit & then slapping their byline on it.
3 Tells of Right's Fake News Media:
1) Bad business model based on fear/panic
2) Attacking people who turn out to telling the truth.
3) Lazily taking Left's Fake News, tweaking it & slapping their masthead on it.
And you know what?
Everybody sees it at this point. After almost 3 years of following this stupid business model, a whole lot of people figured out what they were doing.
I may not be perfect, but early on I figured out something very powerful about this news business.
And I encapsulated that very powerful idea in my pinned tweet, which I have kept pinned to my home page for more than 3 years now, all during this RussiaGate/SpyGate stuff:
The capital you function on in news media is TRUST. You lose some of that every time your readers/viewers figure out you sold a lie to them.
Any business model that entails take the Left's Fake News Media stories based on chickenshit anonymous sources who are often lying or wrong and tweaking it and then rushing it out the door to your own audience here on the Trump-supporting Right is doomed to failure.
That is not my opinion.
That is a fact.
It's only a matter of time.
Eventually, after you ended up staking your reputation on the chickenshit ghosts the Fake News Media of the Left is basing their stories on, you'll have burned your credibility to the ground.
And you'll have only YOURSELF to blame for that.
When people start tuning you out and turning you off and moving to more trustworthy sources of news, understand:
This was inevitable. You set yourself on this course, you followed this path.
Now, to sum up this thread:
Almost 3 years of watching the same Fake News cycle play out, week in, week out, with Fake News outlets on the Right taking the Left's Fake News & dressing it up a little bit & then peddling it themselves, that was HARD for me.
It was HARD to watch.
I pushed back as well as I could, and when I was given a platform at The @EpochTimes, I believe I made full use of it in pushing back against all the Fake News of the Left & the Right that was being used to scare people or discourage them.
But I want you to understand.
Waiting for almost 3 years for Mueller's Special Counsel to end exactly the way I knew it would, when the truth would come out & all that Fake News that had been peddled for all that time would suddenly be exposed for the lies they were?
I'm a patient guy, but it was hard.
That's why I'm so happy these days as we wait for the FISA report to drop on Monday.
Because when WaPo/NYT's/CNN started publishing Fake News about the FISA report based on anonymous ghosts & the Right's Fake News Media took it & endorsed it & peddled it also....
This is EASY.
Because THIS time I only had to wait about TEN DAYS.
Not over 2 1/2 years.
TEN DAYS.
I already know about 75% of what this report is going to say. Because I did the research & the digging for 2 years ever since Dec of 2017.
And I ***KNOW*** in whom I have believed.
I'm not betting ***MY*** credibility as a news media figure on chickenshit anonymous ghosts mumbling in the dark to the NYT's/WaPo or CNN.
That's why I'm going to be proven right AGAIN & a whole lot of Fake News people on the Right are about to have their credibility set on fire yet again.
Trump NEVER said what he's said about this FISA report about any previous IG report.
Same for John Solomon.
Same for Devin Nunes, Lindsey Graham & Rudy Giuliani and a whole bunch of other people who had no problem whatsoever talking on the record about it.
So I can't WAIT for Monday.
I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve trying to will the sun to go down just a little faster.
News media here on the Right will be much better able to support Trump & what he's doing for America once's all these Fake News peddlers over here on the Right are gone.
And you can quote me on that.
