After the report was released on the Russia collusion investigation, it has become clear that FISA requests were approved by judges based on the Steele dossier -- a report funded for and written by anti-Trump hacks. Over the last few years, however, many journalists denied this to be the case. Oh no, they said time and again, the Steele dossier wasn't (much of) the basis of the FISA request(s) to spy on former Trump adviser Carter Page at all. No sir. Twitter-user @Techno_Fog was so kind as to collect tweets from those journalists about the matter.
To start with: the Washington Post's Shane Harris. On January 12, 2018, Harris wrote: "I am telling you the dossier was not used as the basis for a FISA warrant on Carter Page."

This list is far from exhaustive. Many more names of journalists could be added to it, which just goes to show how incredibly dishonest they all have been -- and still are, considering that virtually none of them have apologized for spreading misinformation.
Fake News, thy name is Mainstream Media.

Because Alinksy's Rule # 12
RULE 12: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
The Ministry of Propaganda will cover for them.
Misinformation is their job.
They are propagandists, not reporters.
The LSM is nothing more than the propaganda arm of the DemocRat party.
“These Reporters All Lied About the Steele Dossier, Carter Page, and FISA Warrants”
The Lame Street Media has become the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. If their mouths are open they are lying.
Much of what the FISA report documents, was known two years ago (if only unofficially). This has always told me that the FISA court itself was complicit. As details of the fraud leaked out, you would expect the court itself to demand answers. As far as we know, that has never happened.
Since the FISA court is supervised by Justice Roberts, just one more reason to distrust him.

It's a hell of a lot easier to list the competent and descent reporters - you don't need much more than the fingers on one hand - maybe not that many.
“Lied” is such a harsh word..maybe they were just stretching the truth? You know so as not to hurt anyone’s feelings? They were just kidding and no one should ever face any consequences and definitely go jail. I am sure they will never do it again..or worse.
These are not, and never have been, journalists fearlessly reporting truth.
They (MSM) say only what THEY ARE TOLD to say by the democrat party, so dems can cover up their corruption.
Everything our so called media reports is either twisted/distorted/slanted to Dem benefit or is an outright lie.
Actually what they did was take Russia’s Side in the War on America, they were all spewing RUSSIAN TALKING POINTS, Financed by Hillary and the DNC
Corrupt media comprised of hate filled Leftist activists.
btt
As head of FISA, Roberts must recuse from the Senate trial, he is a fact witness. The proceedings must be headed up by the Chief Justice. (Constitution). Roberts would have to give up the Chief Justice title, meaning a new Chief Justice would have to be appointed. This is going to take more popcorn than you planned for.
