The media cabal (including our bureaucracy and the DNC) is a self-licking ice cream cone.

Big tech pushes leftist stories to the top of search engines and home pages. They use “fact-checkers” that are Soros funded groups as factual groups never disclosing to the reader or viewer the political ties and affiliations of those telling you what “truth” really is. Little surprise that government drones “participate” in this. Go back to the Holder DOJ and look where they funneled all the massive “seizures” they obtained from large companies.

Hint - some of it went to the same groups engaged in this partisan activity.

There is this pesky little thing called the “Hatch Act” that prohibits government employees from actively participating in partisan political activity.

Another example of our extra-constitutional double standard in governance and I doubt anything will happen or change because the GOP........ (insert your colorful language here)

worth repeating:

> the Federal government used taxpayer money to partnership with the private sector to go after a Presidential candidate, who is the President I would say there is a nice class action lawsuit against those companies as well as RICO violations that should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Hatch Act - Ignored during Rat administrations, acknowledged but not enforced during Republican administrations.

It would be a shock if they did not do this. I am surprised the Feds had to pay. I thought the companies would voluntarily do this.

Oh, they'd have done it for free no doubt in my mind.

That they actually got paid was just gravy to the lying liberal lamestream media.

And…….nothing will be done to prevent this from happening in the future.
Unless it’s a Republican administration that does it, then there will be hearings and trials and republicans going to jail.

Oh goody, another bombshell?

Oh good, another one complaining about the usage of the word "bombshell".

Look. If you are waiting for an important story about Democrat corruption to be recognized by Big Media before you use the word "bombshell" then that isn't happening.

Meanwhile the alternative media will cover these stories and the "effect" on the people who use these sources will continue to grow.

It would be a "bombshell" if the congressional Republicans did something about it.

Tell them their fundraising solicitations got censored - that will wake them up.

Jeebus! The FR Ukie Narrative Offensive has opened full bore! Got to get their licks in before Wednesday and the finalization of accession of the four new oblasts... Indeed, "insurrection". President Trump was the head of the government that was working against him.

Our government is so corrupt!!!

<>Like vote for the few who are willing to stand up.<>

We overwhelmingly reelected our MAGA President, yet Obiden is in the Oval Office.

Our republic’s redemption is beyond the reach of elections.

5 organizations contributed to this silencing and the report. One of them was the Atlantic council.

Those who paid the Atlantic Council are listed here (including our government)

It actually is a huge bombshell. It’s just that we’ve seen hundreds of huge “bombshells” come and nothing happens.

That was my point. The bombshells come, and nothing happens.
