Establishment Media Refuse To Cover House IT Scandal Rocking Democrats
The Daily Caller ^ | 07/27/2017 | Peter Hasson

Posted on 07/27/2017 5:45:57 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

Leading members of the establishment media are ignoring the months-long House IT scandal rocking congressional Democrats, even after the FBI’s investigation into the matter became public, and even after Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s top IT aide was arrested trying to flee to Pakistan after wiring almost $300,000 to the country.

As of Thursday morning, both the New York Times and Wall Street Journal have yet to report on the growing scandal surrounding several IT staffers employed by House Democrats, including Wasserman Schultz’s top IT aide, Imran Awan.

Other establishment media outlets are similarly refusing to tell the public about the growing scandal. MSNBC has given zero on-air coverage to the scandal. ABC News and NBC News’ national broadcasts have similarly given zero coverage to the scandal. CNN’s only on-air coverage of the scandal so far was a brief mention during the 6 a.m. ET hour Thursday.

Where is the msm?

Trump’s administration needs to choose to treat the msm as NOT there..

“Despite the growing scandal, the establishment media has for months done its best to keep the public in the dark. That trend continued this week, even after Rosiak reported the existence of the FBI investigation, and even after Awan — a top Democratic staffer — was arrested trying to flee the country to Pakistan...”

“The Washington Post — whose motto is “Democracy dies in darkness” — kept its readers in the dark for months about the growing scandal...”

“As reported by The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Luke Rosiak — who for months has extensively covered the growing scandal...”

See the link above which has a list of a lot of the articles written by the DCNF on this topic over the last many months.

Rosiak alone has written more than 20 news stories on the scandal.

And the point that needs to be made is that a CLINTON ASSOCIATED LAWYER is representing the Pakistani. That in itself is a significant fact.

A Col. on Tucker's program just told Laura Ingraham that the Awan bros. were passing U.S. gov't information onto the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.. SAY WHAT?

Were the Awan's in place in their IT positions WHEN BENGHAZI WAS ATTACKED???

The local ABC affiliate covered it today from a network feed. It attributed the scandal to “politics and anti-Islamic bigotry.”

awan is no doubt hiding in a deep spider hole, fearing for his life.

“wow, the guy is short”

Is Romney’s head really that much bigger or is it just a trick of the light?

Of course they’re not going to report on it. Because it involves two of the left’s sacred cows. Democrats and Muslims.

AP gave this story minimal coverage.

“Wasserman Schultz fired IT man who attempted to flee country”, was the extent of the coverage.

Trump should tweet this out. It will get covered then.
