WashPost's Margaret Sullivan: Media Still Far Too Neutral with 'Trump Unbound'
Newsbusters ^ | February 24, 2020 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 02/24/2020 9:17:06 AM PST by PJ-Comix

President Trump's acquittal in the Senate is driving some of the media's worst Trump haters into a tizzy. The media's bias has been intensely negative -- and yet the problem is apparently it's not intensely negative enough.

In The Washington Post, where each morning their front page screeches of how "Democracy dies in darkness," media columnist Margaret Sullivan is bizarrely urging the media to drop its "neutrality at all costs" model and go all out in opposition to Trump .

It’s pretty hard to drop ‘neutrality’, when you are in 5th gear, and the accelerator is flat to the floor, with no traction being noted.

I went to the original WaPo article this article is about and started reading the comments.

Their readership is certifiably insane.

They believe we currently live under a "Putin-style dictatorship" where Trump can call up the local sheriff and have you imprisoned, never to be seen again. They believe that he will never be removed from office, that it doesn't matter who they vote for because the votes will be thrown in the garbage. I look for counter-comments where somebody sane points out their lunacy, but nope, they all just agree with the points. And they're furious with the WaPo because they support Trump by not reporting on this nuttiness. Maddow is the only person in the media they fully trust.

Seriously, they are batshit.

Add this to your list of things to read...
>>
>>
>> Knew some of these details but when they’re all tied together like this, it is absolutely jaw dropping - especially the Lisa Barsoomian spouse info, which I did NOT know! With all of this in plain view - where is the JUSTICE?!?!
>>
>> It is no wonder these people want to impeach Trump. They know he is going to get them all if he gets reelected.
>>
>> Here’s what it looks like when all the pieces are sewn together. It smells like conspiracy and treason.From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation.A Grand Jury had been impaneled.Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity.”Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared.
>> Hmmm, now you would think that an honest investigator would be able to figure this out.
>> Guess who took over this investigation in 2002?
>> None other than James Comey.
>> Guess who was transferred in to the Internal Revenue Service to run the Tax Exemption Branch of the IRS?
>> Your friend and mine, Lois “Be on The Look Out” (BOLO) Lerner.
>> It gets better, well not really, but this is all just a series of strange coincidences, right?
>> Guess who ran the Tax Division inside the Department of Injustice from 2001 to 2005?
>> No other than the Assistant Attorney General of the United States , Rod Rosenstein.
>> Guess who was the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during this time frame?
>> I know, it’s a miracle, just a coincidence, just an anomaly in statistics and chances, but it was Robert Mueller.
>> What do all four casting characters have in common?
>> They all were briefed and/or were front line investigators into the Clinton Foundation Investigation.
>> Now that’s just a coincidence, right?
>> Ok, lets chalk the last one up to mere chance.
>> Let’s fast forward to 2009.....
>> James Comey leaves the Justice Department to go and cash-in at Lockheed Martin.
>> Hillary Clinton is running the State Department, on her own personal email server, by the way.
>> The Uranium One “issue” comes to the attention of Hillary.
>> Like all good public servants do. You know - looking out for America ’s best interests. She decides to support the decision and approve the sale of 20% of all of the US ‘s Uranium to no other than — the Russians.
>> Now, you might think that this was a fairly straight-up deal, except that it wasn’t: The American People got absolutely nothing out of it
>> And they’re investigating president Trump for “collusion.” However, prior to the sales approval, no other than Bill Clinton traveled to Moscow, got paid 500K for a one hour speech, and then met with Vladimir Putin at his home for a few hours.
>> Ok, no big deal right?
>> Well, not so fast: the FBI had a mole inside the money laundering and bribery scheme.
>> Guess who was the FBI Director during this time?
>> Yep, Robert Mueller, who even delivered a Uranium Sample to Moscow in 2009.
>> Guess who was handling that case within the Justice Department out of the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland ?
>> None other than, Rod Rosenstein.
>> Guess what happened to the informant?
>> The Department of Justice placed a GAG order on him and threatened
>> to lock him up if he spoke out about it.
>> How does 20% of the most strategic asset of the United States of America end up in Russian hands when the FBI has an informant, a mole, providing inside information to the FBI on the criminal enterprise?
>> Guess what happened soon after the sale was approved?
>> $145 million dollars in “donations” made their way into the Clinton Foundation from entities directly connected to the Uranium One deal.
>> Now guess who was still at the Internal Revenue Service working the Charitable Division? None other than, Lois Lerner.
>> Ok, that’s all just another series of coincidences. Nothing to see here, right?
>> Let’s fast forward to 2015.
>> Due to a series of tragic events in Benghazi and after the 9 “investigations” the House, Senate and at State Department, Trey Gowdy who was running the 10th investigation as Chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi discovers that The Hillary ran the State Department on an unclassified, unauthorized, outlaw personal email server.
>> He also discovered that none of those emails had been turned over when she departed her “Public Service” as Secretary of State which was required by law
>> He also discovered that there was Top Secret information contained within her personally archived email. ( Let’s not forget - at least 10 CIA spies in China were killed by the Chinese because of the leaks, and God knows what else occurred. )
>> Sparing you the State Departments cover up, the nostrums they floated, the delay tactics that were employed and the outright lies that were spewed forth from the necks of the Kerry State Department, we shall leave it with this…… they did everything humanly possible to cover for
>> Hillary.
>> Now this is amazing: guess who became FBI Director in 2013? Hint: he secured 17 no-bid contracts for his employer (Lockheed Martin) with the State Department and was rewarded with a six million dollar thank you present when he departed Lockheed.
>> None other than James Comey.
>> Amazing how all those no-bids just went right through at State, huh?
>> So he’s the FBI Director in charge of the “ Clinton Email Investigation” after, of course, his FBI Investigates the Lois Lerner “Matter” at the Internal Revenue Service and exonerates her
>> Nope...we couldn’t find any crimes there.
>> So what happened next?
>> In April 2016, James Comey drafts an exoneration letter of Hillary Rodham Clinton — something he had no authority to do. Meanwhile the DOJ is handing out immunity deals like candy.
>> They didn’t even convene a Grand Jury.
>> Like a lightning bolt of statistical impossibility, like a miracle from God himself, like the true “Gangsta” that Comey is, he steps out into the cameras of an awaiting press conference on July the 5th of 2016, and exonerates The Hillary from any wrongdoing.
>> Can you see the pattern?
>> It goes on and on. Rosenstein becomes Asst. Attorney General; Comey gets fired based upon a letter by Rosenstein; Comey leaks government information to the press; Mueller is assigned to the Russian Investigation sham by Rosenstein to provide cover for decades of malfeasance within the FBI and DOJ. And the story continues
>> FISA Abuse, political espionage.... pick a crime, any crime, chances are...... this group and a few others did it, bringing new meaning to the term “organized crime.”
>> All the same players.
>> All compromised and conflicted.
>> All working fervently to NOT go to jail themselves
>> All connected in one way or another to the Clintons .
>> They are like battery acid, they corrode and corrupt everything they touch.
>> How many lives have the Clinton ‘s two destroyed?
>> As of this writing, the Clinton Foundation, in its 20+ years of operation of being the largest International Charity Fraud in the history of mankind, has never been audited by the Internal Revenue Service .
>> Let us not forget that Comey’s brother works for DLA Piper, the law firm that does the Clinton Foundation’s taxes.
>> And the person that is the common denominator to all the crimes above while doing her evil escape legal maneuvers at the top of the 3 Letter USA Agencies? Yep, that would be Hillary R. Clinton!
>> WHO IS LISA BARSOOMIAN?
>> Let’s look a little into Mrs. Lisa H. Barsoomian’s background.
>> Lisa H. Barsoomian, a US Attorney who graduated from Georgetown
>> Law, is a protege of James Comey and Robert Mueller.
>> Barsoomian, with her boss, R. Craig Lawrence, represented Bill
>> Clinton in 1998.
>> Lawrence also represented:
>> Robert Mueller three times;
>> James Comey five times;
>> Barack Obama 45 times;
>> Kathleen Sebelius 56 times;
>> Bill Clinton 40 times; and
>> Hillary Clinton 17 times.
>> Between 1998 and 2017, Barsoomian herself represented the FBI at least five times.
>> You may be saying to yourself, OK, who cares? Who cares about the work history of this Barsoomian woman?
>> Apparently someone does, because someone out there cares so much that they’ve “purged” all Barsoomian court documents for her Clinton representation in Hamburg vs. Clinton in 1998 and its appeal in 1999 from the DC District and Appeals Court dockets (?).
>> Someone out there cares so much that the internet has been “purged” of all information pertaining to Barsoomian.
>> Historically, this indicates that the individual is a protected CIA operative. Additionally, Lisa Barsoomian has specialized in opposing Freedom of Information Act requests on behalf of the intelligence community. And, although Barsoomian has been involved in hundreds of cases representing the DC Office of the US Attorney, her email address is Lisa Barsoomian at NIH gov. The NIH stands for National Institutes of Health
>> This is a tactic routinely used by the CIA to protect an operative by using another government organization to shield their activities.
>> It’s a cover, so big deal, right? I mean what does one more attorney with ties to the US intelligence community really matter?
>> It deals with Trump and his recent tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum imports, the border wall, DACA, everything coming out of California, the Uni-party unrelenting opposition to President Trump, the Clapper leaks, the Comey leaks, Attorney General Jeff Sessions recusal
>> and subsequent 14 month nap with occasional forays into the marijuana legalization mix …. and last but not least Mueller’s never-ending investigation into collusion between the Trump team and the Russians.
>> Why does Barsoomian, CIA operative, merit any mention?
>> BECAUSE … She is Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s WIFE … That’s why!
>> GET THIS INFORMATION OUT TO EVERYONE YOU CAN.
>>
>> Jaw dropping, shocking and extremely sad that this info has never been exposed
>>

It’s laughable that the Ministry of Propaganda could be any more anti-Trump.

Margaret Sullivan destroyed the Buffalo News.

She was rewarded by being hired as an editor of the New York Times.

She then left the NYT to be the Washington Post media critic.

It has to be the 100s of millions of people out there who think the
media is biased, who are wrong.

GMA was covering his India trip this morning and on 4 occassions made snarky remarks about how much he loves spectacle and the spotlight on him.

It was pathetic.
