Durham probe proves some media would rather ignore a major story than expose their role in covering it up Special Counsel John Durham's investigation findings have the Washington media in close to a collective faint

Pediatricians call it "breath-holding spells." It is when children hold their breath when upset until they experience syncope, or passing out. The media in Washington appears close to a collective faint over the recent filings of Special Counsel John Durham. While the media has largely buried or downplayed the alarming disclosures by Durham on the origins of the Russian conspiracy claims, Durham keeps adding new details implicating top Democratic figures in what he describes as an ongoing investigation. You can only hold your breath so long and Durham shows no signs that he is done by a long shot.

The latest disclosures by Durham are difficult for many in the media to cover because they directly refute years of prior coverage. Many in the media lampooned Donald Trump for claiming the FBI and the Clinton campaign spied on Trump Tower and his campaign. Yet, we later learned that the FBI did spy on the campaign. In 2020, the media largely ignored that finding.

That is when the first stage of syncope began: the "prodrome" with signs of media "discomfort, extreme fatigue, weakness, yawning, nausea, dizziness, and vertigo."

Now, Durham has told a court that he has evidence that Clinton operatives "exploited" access to systems at the Trump Tower, Trump’s apartment building, and "the Executive Office of the President of the United States." The operation allegedly not only targeted the campaign and the Trump Tower but continued after the election.

We are now in the second syncopal phrase: loss of media consciousness.

There is no way to cover this story without many admitting that it facilitated a false narrative created by the Clinton campaign, including attacking those who suggested that the Clinton campaign would ever engage in such disreputable conduct.

The pinkos who run the so-called “news” media knowingly participated in the collusion hoax. Of course they aren't going to cover the story.

Soon: Dem to other Dem: “I seen it on TV that all this Hillary stuff from that guy Durham was Fox junk and fake news. Hillary looked so presidential when she was interviewed. I just don’t know how she can be above it all and laugh at it all like that. She’s so mature.”

We keep falling into the same trap, Like Lucy pulling the football.

The media is not in the news business. The so called media is in fact a bunch of Leftwing activists using their forum to promote Leftist ideals and attack anything in disagreement.

When the media was taking its talking points on this matter from DOJ and FBI staff, the crime is in their view impervious to scrutiny. The media employs former FBI-CIA-DOJ-NSA agency heads and or their spouses for exactly the same reason mutually beneficial to both parties.

The Mafia runs a similar structure to protect its operations.

Nations hostile to US➡️Soros➡️Clintons➡️Democrat Party➡️Press

The Democrat Party and the Press can claim two cutouts; Soros and Clintons.

I disagree with the headline.

The media are democrats. Democrats need to be protected, Republicans destroyed.

It’s just that simple. So if Hillary et al did something to destroy some Republican, that was justified and par for the course.

And there is NEVER to be ANY accountability for ANY democrat action. That would destroy life as they know it.

Very well said.

We should not call them “news” but when we say “leftist propaganda division” some people say “huh?”

Unless Durham, and I hate to say this, drops a bombshell by indicting a major player with indisputable evidence, the media and law enforcement can and will continue to ignore this story.

it facilitated a false narrative created by the Clinton campaign,

In other words:
They were CO-CONSPIRATORS and Committed Multiple OVERT ACTS in Furtherance of a Seditious Criminal Conspiracy to Overthrow The United States President, and they should ALL BE PROSECUTED as such.

Right. Oh how I would love to see the media people brought to justice and punishment.

From Fox website: Lesley Stahl on 60 Minutes in an October 2020 interview, Trump addressed the ongoing investigation and his claim his campaign was spied on. He was shot down by host Lesley Stahl, who insisted the president was spreading unverified information.

“There’s no real evidence,” she said. “This is ’60 Minutes.’ We can’t put on things we can’t verify.”

What a farce. When’s the last time any leftist media people told the truth on TV?
