CNN Backs Team Biden's Letter Telling Media To Get Tougher On GOP!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/13/2023 1:08:33 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

In an article by CNN's Oliver Darcy [seen in screencap, delightfully described by our Kevin Tober as a "liberal media janitor and former Brian Stelter stooge"], CNN broke the news that the Biden administration is planning to send a letter to top US news executives "urging them to intensify their scrutiny of House Republicans after Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, despite having found no evidence of a crime."

CNN reports that, in a draft copy of the letter that CNN has seen, Biden spokesman Ian Sams writes [emphasis added throughout]:

“It’s time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies.”

And in a line of dark Orwellian undertones, the draft letter continues:

"Process stories that fail to unpack the illegitimacy of the claims on which House Republicans are basing all their actions only serve to generate confusion, put false premises in people’s feeds, and obscure the truth.”

If CNN weren't in thrall to the Democrats, you might expect them to tell the Biden administration to stuff its letter where the celestial orb doesn't cast its rays. But to the contrary, in his article on the letter, Darcy sympathizes with the Biden White House's take!

Writes Darcy:

"While news organizations have published innumerable fact checks on the matter, they have also often failed to robustly call out the mis- and disinformation peddled by Republicans in their coverage, frustrating officials in the Biden White House who believe that the news media should be doing more to dispel lies that saturate the public discourse."

Aww, those poor Biden White House folks, frustrated by the media not being tough enough on Republicans! CNN feels your pain!

Xi is proud of how his puppet is making the MSM even more state run than it was before.

Elections have consequences. Stolen elections for bribed candidates have even more consequences.

So they’re not even trying to hide the collusion between the Biden admin and the media?

You can actually see the media using this “no evidence” talking point today. They are immediately compliant with their government orders.

The inquiry is to look at all the evidence before going forward.

Yes CNN, time to convene a panel. Discuss how the evidence comprises lies. Agree with each other and now pronounce established fact that the impeachment inquiry is a lie.

Of course, examination of said evidence will be omitted. But hey, when you agree with you what more do you need?

ANALYSIS: Ian Sams Is the Forrest Gump of Political Failure
In the running for worst political operative of the 21st century

https://freebeacon.com/democrats/ian-sams-political-failure/

October 2019 was a particularly rough month for Sams. After the Democratic primary debate on Oct. 15, the press secretary lost his mind when BuzzFeed editor Katherine Miller posted a “problematic” tweet criticizing Harris’s performance. Miller had simply highlighted Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D., Mass.) blunt dismissal of Harris for demanding that Twitter ban Trump from its platform.

“This kind of stuff is just a really horrible look for you guys,” Sams texted Miller’s boss, BuzzFeed editor in chief Ben Smith. “Frankly, it’s whiteness manifest. If Kamala shrugged off a Warren critique of how she wasn’t with her on [breaking up] Facebook, we’d get raked over the coals and [Warren] would be lauded as taking on corporate power.”

Smith, who made the exchange public, responded appropriately. “Do you seriously not have real problems?” he wrote Sams. “This text makes me think you are totally, totally unready for an actual presidential campaign.” (Fact check: He was totally unready for an actual presidential campaign.)

Days later, Sams posted one of the dumbest photoshops in the history of American politics. He altered a photo of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) yelling at Trump by pasting a photo of Harris in Trump’s place. “Time for an upgrade,” he wrote. The tweet, which Sams eventually deleted, was almost universally mocked for its incoherence. “Right-wing Twitter is a really sad place,” he huffed.

Prior to that, Sams served as regional communications director for Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential campaign in 2016. Of the five states under his purview—Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia—his candidate won just two. Sams also gained notoriety by debasing himself as a model for campaign merchandise, most notably the $30 “Grillary Clinton” apron. All in all, that campaign will be remembered as one of the biggest failures in American political history.

Following Hillary’s humiliating loss, Sams went on to serve as communications director for Tom Perriello, a Democratic candidate for governor of Virginia who would go on to lose the primary to Ralph Northam. The Perriello campaign’s inability to find the racist medical school yearbook photo that almost ended Northam’s career represents another failure of epic proportions in American politics.

Yea, but they have no arrows left in their quiver. They used them mindlessly at every opportunity and missed their target time after time.

All they have left is more lies that no one believes anymore.
