John Podesta: Press Did Not Play Up Russia Conspiracies Enough During Election
Breitbart ^ | March 26, 2017 | Ben Kew

Posted on 03/27/2017 9:03:58 AM PDT by HarleyLady27

John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s former presidential campaign chairman, has claimed there was a “failing” by mainstream media to protect American democracy during the 2016 presidential election. “The fact that there was substantiation that the Russians had hacked my emails, the DNC emails, that Wikileaks was an instrument of an attempt by Vladimir Putin and the Russian Federation to undermine our democracy, that could have been reflected in the press and I don’t believe it was,” Podesta said in an interview with the BBC’s Evan Davis.

“And I think that was actually a failing on behalf of the mainstream media and particularly some of the major news outlets in our country like The New York Times,” he continued

LOL @ Skippy as the media did their part as the Russian ties to Trump are all over the web, local and national medias. They did their best to cover for you and your disgusting ilk. It’s just the American people do not trust them anymore and are no longer effective in pushing or covering up their sick agenda.

The amount of the pedophile code language in Skippy’s emails is enough to warrant plenty of suspicion but our disgusting media continues to cover for alleged child trafficking or much, much worse. Our media are made up of terrible, terrible human beings.

The fake news system failed to set up the fake “Russia did it” echo chamber? I was hearing them loud and clear and knew it was fake to begin with. Did we all forget the “reset button”? Did the fake news even look at the uranium sales-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate RICO connection?

Even when the ‘72 people in California’ was opened up as a ‘human trafficking group’ the press still turned away...are they also involved with these things? Is that why they don’t want to let us know, they might be in the middle of all this? How many ‘journalists’ have been with Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein to the island???

These are questions that need to be asked and answered...

Even when the movie “Hillary’s America” was out, and the books written about ‘The Clinton Crime Family’ and others, how many people read and learned???

Both of the Podestas had companies in Russia, and John turned over his ‘holdings’ to his daughter, that still means that the ‘Podestas’ are still operating in Russia...

Mediacrats say that the Clinton Foundation is shut down, heck it is, they just aren’t making the money they once was, because there are no reasons to charge huge amounts of money to Bill Clinton that Hillary Clinton set up for ‘pay and play’ game...

I agree. The press should have made a much bigger deal about Podesta receiving tons of Russian money, and Clinton getting MILLIONS funneled to the Clinton Foundation after her approving sales of uranium to the Russians. THAT’S the Russian Conspiracy that we heard so little about.

Oh yes, and there have been hundreds and hundreds arrested since Trump took office and not much said from the LSM. Normally, that would be huge story on a national scale but it’s been mostly a media blackout on this story.

I agree, it could involve many in our media but it probably goes even higher than that with the corporate heads and management. Since very few corporations own a large majority of our medias, and they are trying to keep this quiet from the American people, it probably goes all the way to the top of these corporations.

It’s time we break up this corrupt corporate media cabal.

I have been working on the PizzaGate thing, have a lot of information...I can say very safely it goes way high...like White House high...(past administration)...

But until there is a factual investigation that the people will be able to see who, what, where, when and how are involved I refuse to release any information...

The local Chicago Democrat media mostly ignored the Wikileaks podesta emails. I got all of my information online. The Russia hacked the election stuff was really really pushed after Hillary lost.

Hillary started used the "The Russians hacked me" in response to each release of material from Wikileaks. I guess that's what Podesta told her to say as a way to try and "attack the messenger" to divert attention away from the actual content of what was being leaked.

When she eventually lost the election it was only natural to keep using that excuse, and expand it to include "overt collusion between Trump and Russia". It also offered the perfect reason for Obama to get warrants to snoop on Trump and his peopl.

It’s great to see American citizens doing the job that the main stream media will not do. I’m not a researcher but I’ve tried to keep up on what’s going on with all of this. If you don’t mind adding me to your pinglist on this, I’ll do my part when any information becomes available. Thanks.

Comet Ping Pong was not where any child sex slavery/trafficking occurred.

It was a place where corrupt politicians and corrupt donors could get together and admire ‘artwork’ and discuss private subjects, without being noticed.

The Ping Pong playing kids, and the live bands were to provide ‘cover’, masking the conversations from eaves-droppers and listening equipment.

Alefantis is a master at bringing together corrupt politicians and the corrupt in his socio-political strata. They donate large sums to the politicians for promises of stopping any prosecution of their personal perversions.

The only thing Comet Ping Pong sells is Liquor (they have a bar) and Pizza. Really crappy fou-fou pizza that has a big pile of dough with a tiny amount of sauce. AND you can even get it gluten free. No kid I know would even touch one of these pizzas. They are more like Michelle Obama’s HEALTHY KID’S SCHOOL LUNCHES.

They ain’t getting rich off the pizza folks. It’s Alefantis’s ability to manage the corrupt and evil to get their money for politicians that gave him his notoriety and power.

All the lying the media did for Hillary, and he’s complaining they didn’t lie enough.
