The worst kind of bias is the bias of omission. And that was never more on display than after reports surfaced earlier this week alleging former Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice's had unmasked Trump transition team members.
So why is this a big story that deserves attention? Simply put, one of the highest-ranking members of the previous administration unmasked names of members of the incoming administration via classified intelligence reports, prompting many questions that warrant dogged journalism:
Who leaked the information to newspapers like The Washington Post?
Who, if anyone, ordered Rice to unmask the names of private U.S. citizens in the first place?
Was the ultimate objective of spying and exposing Trump associates for political purposes or for national security reasons?
And why did Rice lie when originally asked about an announcement by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) that Trump and some transition team members were incidentally swept up in surveillance?
To review what happened to prompt the last question above, here's how Rice answered a question around the Nunes revelation when asked by "PBS NewsHour" host Judy Woodruff on March 22.
Rice: “I know nothing about this. I was surprised to see reports from Chairman Nunes on that count today.".....
Now if I'm host Andrea Mitchell or one of her producers, the first soundbite I cue up is Rice on PBS denying any knowledge that she knew “nothing about” surveillance allegations. It's a simple but highly effective interviewing technique perfected by the late Tim Russert of NBC "Meet the Press" fame: Play the interviewee's own words back to them and ask them to explain themselves if those words appear to be a lie.
Mitchell and team don't bother doing so.

Simple.
Anyone with a reasonably high IQ can see that if Rice was doing this, it was at least known about by then President Obama. Worse yet, it was likely ordered by Hussein Obama himself.
Presstitutes are 90% Rat voters. They will tell any lie, forge any story to protect demonrats, especially Obama.
“Really race and gender doesn’t mean anything to the left except as an excuse to call everybody racist and sexist if they’re attacking a left Winger”
Must beg to differ here. The major reason the left has been “sucking up” to the minorities for the last 50 years is for a voting base. California is even risking the loss of federal funds to protect illegals so they can get the under motor-voter and or get them a voting card so they can vote lib. I was a child in California when this started.
And if you can tell me how they got the black vote when they did everything to hold them back since the Africans were first brought to the US for slave labor, you’re good. They didn’t start catering to them until they took credit for the civil rights act in the mid 60’s. And southern democrats were adamantly against them but took credit for employment pushing and affirmative action programs so it appeared to be their action that got it done. Forget about the blue laws, or the litany test they had to stop the blacks from voting. But did they ever go the other way when they found out about the use of the races.
And blacks were available due to their earlier mistreatment along with the Mexicans and their economy problems in their homeland. And my Lord are they both used a lot!!

> Simple,she’s a black woman and a Democrat.
I would love to see libs try the “oppressed minority” tactic on this one, so I can smash them in the head repeatedly with the fact that Susan Rice, daughter of a former Richmond Federal Reserve President, is damn near as privileged by birth as a person gets.
Because their unquestioning loyalty and absolute slavish love of Obama will not allow them to have their religious dogma challenged. Obama is their messiah and can do no wrong. Their faith is unquestioning and they will NEVER allow it to be challenged.
If Shen has to go down, they will make sure she goes down alone.
Ridiculous on its face but they always get away with this sh, stuff.
The intel we unmasked and sent to the families
of Obama’s agents in the MSM.
THAT is why the treason and sedition are
covered up.
MSM should lose their licenses.
Because they do not care a speck about the country. They are not journalists. They are anarchists.
I saw a post on FR a couple of days ago with a list of the MSM execs , journalists married or related to politicians.
Sadly I didn’t save it and can’t find it now.
Hope someone will repost that list. Eye opening.
Because once these dominoes start tumbling, there is no stopping them...they are ALL dirty (including the majority of the GOP).
Why is mainstream media trying to cover up the Susan Rice story?
Because if the Evidence is made Public, it will show that A whole Lot of Mainstream Media types were DEEPLY Involved in this Espionage, They were NOT just innocent bystanders and they know if it goes Public they are Going to Prison.
I agree.
Bingo.
The media is the Left. Democrats are the Left.
The Left recognizes no authority but its own.
I agree. A false promise puking guts and wagging a rear sans tail. Give it the chase and let’s behead the monster!!
