One of the pernicious problems we have in the establishment media is the plethora of Leftist partisan hacks pretending to be journalists. Their constant slanting of the news to present only one side as being factual and the other side as nothing but lies distorts their role, which should be just to report on the events of the day so that the American public can be fully informed. Instead, these ‘journalists’ believe their role is to referees on what is the truth, or role for which they are woefully equipped.
One of the worst practitioners of this false journalism is George Stephanopoulos, a former press secretary for Bill Clinton who now masquerades as an objective political analyst for ABC News. For the past 15 years, Stephanopoulos has used his lofty perch as the host of ABC’s This Week gab fest to frame the news to fit the political narratives of the Democratic Party and the radical Left. His interviews with Democrat politicians are invariably filled with sympathetic questions while Republican politicians are approached with skepticism and browbeating to pressure them to concede to Democrat premises.
On this Sunday’s broadcast of This Week, Stephanapoulos used his old trick of trying to force his Republicans to accept his framing of the news. He started his interview with Sen. Rand Paul by calling for him to concede that it was a ‘fact’ that the presidential election was not stolen.
Refreshingly, Paul refused to accept Stephanopoulos’ bullying tactics and presented numerous actual facts that showed that there was indeed widespread evidence of fraud in the election that needs to be investigated. The interview became fiery as Stephanopoulos tried to talk over Paul and prevent him from presenting this evidence to the viewers.
Just as important, Paul called out Stephanopoulos for his distortion of his role as a journalist:
That’s the problem with the media today is they say all Republicans are liars, and everything we say is a lie. There are two sides to every story. Interview somebody on the other side, but don’t insert yourself into the story to say we’re all liars, because we do think there’s some fraud and the election needs to be fixed.
There are two sides to every story. George, you’re forgetting who you are. You’re forgetting who you are as a journalist if you think there’s only one side. You’re inserting yourself into the story to say I’m a liar because I want to look at election fraud and I want to look at secretaries of state who illegally changed the voter laws without the permission of their state legislatures. That is incontrovertible, it happened.
And you can’t just sweep it under the rug and say, ‘Oh, nothing to see here, and everybody is a liar and you’re a fool if you bring this up.’ You’re inserting yourself into the story. A journalist would hear both sides and there are two sides of a story.One of the greatest lessons that President Trump has given to America is the need to counter the false narratives that are constantly being pushed by an establishment media that is allied with the Democrats. If the media ever wants to regain the trust that they lost with American public, they will have to return to reporting both sides of the story instead to just parroting the talking points of one side.
I watched the exchange. It’s obvious that Stephanopoulos is not a journalist. He is a partisan fighter in a cause. However, my guess is that if you want a high paying job in a “news” organization, that’s exactly what you have to be. And, they will only hire one flavor of partisan. Why does anyone watch the “news?”
Short little Stephy should still be in prison after the crimes he committed in the Clinton sex coverups: perjury, suborning perjury, obstruction of justice, ________ (Fill in the blanks).
He’s a wormy little man who has to sit on phone books just to reach the top of the table. POS

Obama’s Spying On The Press Was Far More Extensive Than Previously Thought
Issues and Insights ^ | 25 May 2019 | John Merline
FR Posted on 5/26/2019, 11:04:42 AM by E. Pluribus Unum
President Trump was openly hostile, but it was the Obama administration that engaged in a widespread effort to thwart the media.
Which do you think is more harmful to a free press?
The full extent of Obama’s actions against the press are only now coming to light. The Columbia Journalism Review reports on a newly released government document showing that the Obama Justice Department engaged in a far more sweeping effort to spy on the Associated Press than previously believed.
“In 2013, the Justice Department launched a brazen attack on press freedom,” the CJR notes, “issuing sweeping subpoenas for the phone records of The Associated Press and several of its reporters and editors as part of a leak investigation. At the time, the subpoenas were widely seen as a massive intrusion into newsgathering operations. Last month, we learned that they told only part of the story.”
The spying came in the wake of the AP’s reporting on a thwarted Yemen-based bomb plot, which contained classified information about the CIA operation. Months later, the AP learned that the DOJ had vacuumed up two-months of phone records on 21 different lines trying to find the leaker.
Unprecedented Intrusion Upon learning this, the AP blasted the Obama Justice Department. AP’s President and CEO Gary Pruitt said the records collected could “reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the newsgathering activities undertaken by the AP during a two-month period, provide a road map to AP’s newsgathering operations and disclose information about AP’s activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know.”
Turns out, Pruitt should have been even more outraged. The new report, obtained by the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University and the Freedom of the Press Foundation, finds that the DOJ... (Excerpt) Read more at issuesinsights.com …
BACKSTORY At another of Obama's comebacks to repaint his miserable 8-year term a brighter color, Obama lacerated Pres Trump, saying: " I complained plenty about Fox News, but you never heard me call them enemies of the people.” (Source —--comeback rally at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign).
REALITY CHECK----N-o-o-o-o, Obama didnt do that....he just unleashed the full force of the DOJ, in the person of AG Eric Holder, to pounce on Fox reporter James Rosen AND to intimidate Rosen's family. Holder and Obama issued a court order for Fox News reporter James Rosen's emails, that labeled Rosen a criminal "co-conspirator." More likely Fox News said things or published stories Obama didn't like.......or got too close to unveiling his criminality.
==================================================
SOURCE theguardian.com
Circa 2013
Obama and AG Holder did more than seize a Fox News reporter’s emails while suggesting he was a criminal “co-conspirator” in a leak case — it did so under one of the most serious wartime laws in America, the Espionage Act. It is now well known that the Obama justice department has prosecuted more government leakers under the 1917 Espionage Act than all prior administrations combined - in fact, double the number of all such prior prosecutions.
But as the controversy over the Obama and Holder’s pursuit of the phone records of AP reporters illustrated, this obsessive fixation in defense of secrecy also targets, and severely damages, journalists specifically and the news-gathering process in general.
New revelations emerged yesterday in the Washington Post that are perhaps the most extreme yet when it comes to the DOJ’s attacks on press freedoms. It involves the prosecution of State Department adviser Stephen Kim, a naturalized citizen from South Korea who was indicted in 2009 for allegedly telling Fox News’ chief Washington correspondent, James Rosen, that US intelligence believed North Korea would respond to additional UN sanctions with more nuclear tests - something Rosen then reported. Kim did not obtain unauthorized access to classified information, nor steal documents, nor sell secrets, nor pass them to an enemy of the US.
Instead, the DOJ alleges that he merely communicated this innocuous information to a journalist - something done every day in Washington - and, for that, this arms expert and long-time government employee faces more than a decade in prison for “espionage”.
The focus of a Post report is that the Obama DOJ’s surveillance of Rosen extended far beyond even what Obama did to AP reporters. The FBI tracked Rosen’s movements in and out of the State Department, traced the timing of his calls, and - most amazingly - obtained a search warrant to read two days worth of his emails, as well as all of his emails with Kim. In this case, said the Post, “investigators did more than obtain telephone records of a working journalist suspected of receiving the secret material.” It added that “court documents in the Kim case reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist”.
But what makes this revelation particularly disturbing is that Obama's DOJ, in order to get this search warrant, insisted that Fox's Rosen - a journalist - committed serious crimes. The DOJ specifically argued that by encouraging his source to disclose classified information - something investigative journalists do every day - Rosen himself broke the law.
Describing an affidavit from FBI agent Reginald Reyes filed by the DOJ, the Post reports [emphasis added]: “Reyes wrote that there was evidence Rosen had broken the law, ‘at the very least, either as an aider, abettor and/or co-conspirator’. That fact distinguishes his case from the probe of the AP, in which the news organization is not the likely target. Using italics for emphasis, Reyes explained how Rosen allegedly used a ‘covert communications plan’ and quoted from an e-mail exchange between Rosen and Kim that seems to describe a secret system for passing along information. . . .
However, it remains an open question whether it’s ever illegal, given the First Amendment’s protection of press freedom, for a reporter to solicit information. No reporter, including Rosen, has been prosecuted for doing so.” Under US law, it is not illegal to publish classified information. That fact, along with the First Amendment’s guarantee of press freedoms, is what has prevented the US government from ever prosecuting journalists for reporting on what the US government does in secret. This newfound theory of the Obama DOJ - that a journalist an be guilty of crimes for “soliciting” the disclosure of classified information - is a means for circumventing those safeguards and criminalizing the act of investigative journalism itself.
These latest revelations show that this is not just a theory but one put into practice, as the Obama and Holder submitted official court documents accusing a journalist of committing crimes by doing this. ---Snip---
Obama and Holder wouldnt lie to a court of law. Would they?
LOL. Spying on the press does nothing against freedom of the press. The press is just as fre as before, simply “spied on” frosting on top of the same freedom they always had.
If they aren’t doing anything wrong, what are they worried about?
BACKSTORY Wikileaks Reveals names of Journalists Who were groomed to “report” on Hillary’s Clinton Campaign
According to a list first published in The Intercept, there to learn what they should think about Clinton’s announcement, expectations for the launch period and the framing of her message was an all-star cast of mainstream media denizens.
There were Cecilia Vega, David Muir, Diane Sawyer, Jon Karl and George Stephanopoulos of ABC News;
John Heilemann and Mark Halperin of Bloomberg; Norah O’Donnell and Vicki Gordon of CBS News;
Brianna Keilar, David Chalian, Gloria Borger, Jeff Zeleny, John Berman, Kate Bouldan, Mark Preston and Sam Feist of CNN;
Savannah Guthrie of NBC; and Alex Wagner, Beth Fouhy, Phil Grifin and Rachel Racusen of MSNBC.
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow was listed as TBD.
There were five staffers from the New York Times – Amy Chozik, Gail Collins, Jonathan Martin, Maggie Haberman and Pat Healey,
as well as Alyssa Mastramonoco of Vice, Jon Allen of Vox, Mike Allen of Axios,
and Glenn Thrush of Politico, who was later found to have submitted stories to the Clinton campaign for approval.
A similar group attended a dinner the night before at John Podesta’s house. Podesta, then Clinton’s campaign manager, now writes a column for The Washington Post.
Attendees at the Podesta dinner included Liz Kreutz of ABC, Julie Pace, Ken Thomas and Lisa Lerer of the Associated Press;
Jennifer Epstein of Bloomberg, April Ryan of the American Urban Radio Network, Rudy Cramer of Buzzfeed, Mike Memoli and Evan Handler of the Los Angeles Times,
Alex Seitz-Wald of MSNBC, Mark Murray of NBC, Anita Kumar of McClatchey, Amy Chozik and Maggie Haberman of the New York Times,
Tamara Keith ofNPR and Annie Karni and Gabe Debenedetti of Politico.
No Fox reporters attended either of these meetings.
Several top journalists and TV news anchors RSVPed “yes” to attend a private, off-the-record gathering at the New York home of Joel Benenson, the chief campaign strategist for Hillary Clinton, two days before she announced her candidacy in 2015, according to emails Wikileaks published from John Podesta’s accounts.
ITEM <><> The guest list for an earlier event at the home of her campaign manager, John Podesta, was limited to
reporters who were expected to cover Clinton on the campaign trail. —snip—
ITEM <><> Wikileaks revealed earlier that late night talk host Stephen Colbert, and his team at Comedy Central, were making TV episodes at the request or order of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) back in April of 2013. So, viewers thought they were vote-smart because they’re informed by a comedian, yet same said comedian was doing Hillary’s bidding the whole time.
ITEM <><> Hillary frequently used the Democrats' "wrap-up smear."......leaking false info about her opponent to the media.
When the obeisant press published the smear, Hillary would wave it around indicating she was the superior candidate.
Stephanopoulos was lazily reading Democrat talking points off a piece of paper while Rand beat him silly with facts.
The Journo page has since been deleted from Clinton Foundation archives.
The linchpin is the Clintons.

The role of a journalist? To gaslight.
This requires operating as though one is objective and sincere.
Those in Congress perform the same role.

CIRCA 2019 IMPEACHMENT ONE The Media’s Push for Impeachment
Townhall.com ^ | April 24, 2019 | Brent Bozell and Tim Graham
FR Posted on 4/24/2019, 6:51:31 AM by Kaslin
The Mueller report is out, and Donald Trump’s summary got it right: “no collusion, no obstruction.” Mueller could also have labeled him the next iteration of St. Teresa, but it still wouldn’t have made a lick of difference. The left wants him impeached — period.
No one on the left is more upset than pretty much everyone in the press. MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski insists Democrats have to do their “patriotic duty to step up for the country.” That’s lipstick-on-a-pig talk. Their obsession may require medical treatment. It’s becoming pathological.
NBC’s Chuck Todd thinks that if there were no impeachment push, it would be “okaying the idea of foreign adversaries helping out political campaigns.” He pressed Rep. Jerrold Nadler saying, “you have all of this case of obstruction presented in the Mueller report, as you’ve just stated. Some might ask ... ‘Why haven’t you opened an impeachment inquiry?’”
“PBS NewsHour” analyst Mark Shields wants a “new 9/11 commission,” apparently because the election of Donald Trump is on the level of a terrorist attack that killed 3,000 Americans.
What’s the moral of the story? If at first your hostile investigations don’t wreck the Trump presidency, try, try again.
Reasonable Americans could say that based on the accusations flying all over Washington about possible collusion with the Russians and election fraud, they want the matter investigated and resolved, asked and answered. There was never a shred of it. In fact, the scurrilous accusations came out of the Hillary Clinton campaign. These were not the findings of a pro-Trump investigation. They came from none other than the media’s recent hero, their one-time Eliot Ness, sainted Robert Mueller.
Journalists interested in justice, and in truth itself, would now demand an investigation into the Democrats. Journalists interested in journalism would undertake that investigation themselves. But why uncover the facts when fiction is so much more ... effective?
Top Democrats know that this nebulous and now-disproved concept of Russian collusion with Trump isn’t an issue when they go to talk to voters in Iowa and New Hampshire. CNN found that for 86 percent of voters, the Mueller report would have absolutely no effect on their vote for president in 2020. And yet, in New York and Washington, it’s still the dominant issue, as it has been ever since the election, when Trump ruined all their “conventional wisdom.”
Some members of the press corps continue to harrumph about “foreign adversaries helping out political campaigns” as if the Clinton campaign didn’t pay ex-British spy Christopher Steele to dig around for dirt (including the so-called “pee tape”) from Russian sources. It’s “collusion” for Donald Trump Jr. to meet with a Russian for 20 minutes at Trump Tower, but Christopher Steele being paid to meet with Russian contacts for months somehow can’t be defined as “collusion” in the same conversation.
Steele? Fusion GPS? FISA court? The network evening newscasts spent 2,200 minutes on Trump collusion, but the counternarrative of a liberal conspiracy against the Trump campaign — inside the government as well as outside — couldn’t get a fraction of that airtime.
The network know-it-alls didn’t offer all this “patriotic duty” talk about “foreign adversaries” when the 1996 Clinton-Gore re-election campaign took bags of cash from Buddhist monks and Indonesian businessmen and Chinese communists. Back then, any congressional investigation into Asian collusion was a waste of taxpayer money and network news time. This only shows what everyone knows: The “objective” media are the servile handmaidens of the Democrats.
Journalists should be embarrassed that their expectations about Mueller turned out to be so wrong. Instead of acknowledging the error in their endless speculation about how the walls were “closing in” on Trump, they just keep trying to push the walls in. Their hatred for him knows no bounds.

...snip...foreign governments/factions don’t just pay bribes to our politicians for favorable policy; they give money to media outlets like the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post - and not only the print media. TV networks also take the $$$$$.
When ad revenues dropped and subscriptions dropped back in the mid 2000’s, the MSM discovered a lucrative new revenue stream.
Many top Fake News outlets are now very, very dependent on the cash they get paid to publish stories from paying clients.”.....
....snip....
“Let me tell you now the dirty secret that has *smart* Fake News reporters all over the DNC Media are freaking out right now.
They took MONEY from foreign governments/factions to publish their propaganda disguised as ‘news coverage’ to sway public opinion & affect US foreign policy.
Many in the DNC Media Complex didn’t just become paid political hacks for one certain US political party; they became FOREIGN AGENTS working for foreign clients and using their influence to publish stories and LOBBYING on behalf of their foreign clients.
Bob Mueller and his Merry Crew just spent 2 years proving what A Very Bad Thing it is to become a foreign agent without publicly disclosing this and filing as a foreign agent under FARA.
QUESTION: “But doesn’t the 1st AMENDMENT give them cover for this? Doesn’t free speech & the freedom of the press allow them to take foreign money ......”
ANSWER: .....no, it doesn’t. There’s no press exception clause in the FARA act.
Attaboy Senator Paul!

TBH Stephanopoulos is not a journalist, he’s just a talking head in a high chair.
There are two sides to every story. George, you’re forgetting who you are. You’re forgetting who you are as a journalist if you think there’s only one side.
= = =
George started with There is NO evidence.
Then changed to no SIGNIFICANT evidence.
And no evidence that CHANGED the outcome.
I would say, “George, you have just acted a little like a real journalist. You DO see more than one side to the story.”
