For some nine years, the media and the left have successfully fed the country a succession of rank deceptions and conspiracies.
The public is exhausted after a decade of chronic untruth from the left-wing and its media.
The 2016 presidential campaign will be long remembered for the false allegation that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to warp the election.
Citing the bogus “Steele dossier,” loser Hillary Clinton and other Democrat grandees claimed that the victorious Trump was an “illegitimate” president.
Almost immediately, the left and media then pushed for the appointment of special prosecutor Robert Mueller. He assembled a ‘dream team’ of partisan prosecutors to prove Trump-Russian collusion.
Some 22 months later, Mueller found no evidence that Donald Trump improperly won the 2016 election with help from any colluding Russians.
More hysteria followed when Trump was impeached in December 2019.
The left claimed he had pressured the Ukrainian government to look into the family of Joe Biden (then a potential 2020 election opponent) for its corruption with Ukrainian oligarchs—as a condition for releasing military aid designated to Kyiv.
Yet Hunter Biden was paid nearly $1 million a year by a Ukrainian energy company to enlist his father, Vice President Joe Biden, for quid pro quo services.
In turn, Joe Biden himself later bragged he had pressured Ukraine to fire its prosecutor, Victor Shokin—who happened to be looking too closely into the various shady schemes of the Biden family.
The deceptions and lies continued.
On the eve of the first 2020 debate, Biden aide and now Secretary of State Antony Blinken helped to round up “51 former intelligence authorities” to claim falsely that Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop—full of incriminating evidence of felonious Biden family behavior—was fabricated by the Russians.
Yet the FBI already had the laptop and had authenticated it

The MSM now knows these stories were false and yet they don’t seem embarrassed. I wonder if they all knew the stories were false from the start.
One example, although in this case the reporting was on point until a 'mysterious letter':

“It worked, didn’t it?”
Yes, and a lying, senile crook became “president’ thanks to them.

MSM complicit in conspiracy to commit sedition?
“The MSM now knows these stories were false and yet they don’t seem embarrassed. I wonder if they all knew the stories were false from the start.”
That is certainly IMPLIED. After all, now that all the claims from anonymous sources have proven to be fake, why isn’t the media ANGRY about being tricked, and why don’t they OUT these ‘sources’, to prevent further manipulation, if no other reason?
And, yes, I’m CONVINCED that the sources were real people, as it is simply too difficult for the media to coordinate these fabrications without central control.
Then suddenly in June 2024, within a 24-hour period, Biden was declared by these same insiders as unfit to continue as the Democratic nominee.
Their new problem with Biden was not just his long-standing embarrassing dementia. Rather bad polls increasingly warned that voters no longer believed their lies and thus would likely not reelect Biden but would instead punish most Democrats in the upcoming 2024 election.
A short discussion, but very powerful, of the media lies we have been told.

“The public is exhausted after a decade of chronic untruth from the left-wing and its media.”
I see no evidence of that. The folks in the blue part of Ohio are blissfully unaware of the constant stream of lies. And many of those people see the evening network news as a trusted source of information.
BTT.
I’ve been digging on Herr Walz, as bad as Cuomo. Socialist or Commie. Tryant.

Based on yesterday’s announcement from Merrick Garland, sounds like the leftwing propaganda machine is going to fire up the “Russia! Russia! Russia!” hoax again. All Democrats and some independents will immediately believe it.
Hanson writes “The public is exhausted after a decade of chronic untruth from the left-wing and its media. The 2016 presidential campaign will be long remembered for the false allegation that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to warp the election.”
Those are good examples of his chronic over-optimism. If those were true, then Harris would be at 10%.
Corp media has become the West’s version of TASS, controlled by and solely benefiting The Deep State. The personnel in the executive suites and on-air personalities have been placed in those positions for the nefarious support and protection of The Deep State. Just like their masters, there is no lie they won’t tell or law they won’t break in the furtherance of their mission.
“Mueller found no evidence that Donald Trump improperly won the 2016 election with help from any colluding Russians.”
.
As Mueller closed his briefcase at the last question, he was asked if he’d heard of (I forget, was it “Crossfire Hurricane?) something Conservatives know as a household phrase.
Mueller’s answer, “No”....

I believe most of them are well aware that they push lies and propaganda.
