The Failed Media Bias Coup: Top 10 Players
Liberty Nation ^ | 3-31-2019 | Leesa K. Donner

Posted on 03/31/2019 10:57:33 AM PDT by blam

For the past two years, it’s been Trump and Russian collusion all the time, every day, and everywhere we see media bias. Some outlets were more egregious than others in subjecting their audiences to relentless chatter about what they believed to be true, rather than merely reporting the news. Among the many “journalists” who espoused the Democratic Party position on the Mueller investigation, some especially boisterous voices stood out from the crowd. So, in a rather non-scientific study, Liberty Nation republishes a few comments that were quite simply over the top.

But before we get to that, a few salient words of summation are in order. The first come from David Harsanyi who wrote the following for The Federalist:

 “Perhaps it was Watergate envy, or bitterness over Donald Trump’s victory, or antagonism towards Republicans in general—or, most likely, a little bit of all the above. But now that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has delivered his report on Russian collusion, it’s clear that political journalists did the bidding of those who wanted to delegitimize and overturn Trump’s election.”

A hostile media environment has yielded much unnecessary angst and vitriol. While some are willing to backtrack their comments a bit, others are holding fast to their original remarks. According to Brent Baker, Vice President for Research and Publications at the Media Research Center, CNN has used the mantra “does not exonerate” 120 times a day since the Mueller probe ended. And MRC’s Rich Noyes wrote that for “roughly three minutes a night, every night, for an astonishing 791 days,” the media has been poking this mystical Russian bear which has turned into – in the president’s words – a Collusion Delusion.

If @AOC loses next year, they’ll pair her and MadCow for an all star blockbuster.

No kidding. She should have been the number 1 pick for sure.

Where's that nasty liar Cuomo?

How about that ugly witch on MSNBC Nicole Wallass?

And the other fat slob ... Joyless Reid?

And the liar at night from Boston ... Lawrence O'Donnell?

I realize the viewership for those shows are next to nothing, but those miscreants are colossal, anti-American liars.

That is an amazing diagram. A lot of work must have gone into it.

How about this Louise Mensch character, who appears to have been acting on behalf of GCHQ? And of course Bill Kristol has to be in the top 10 easily.

Yep - maybe she’s ranked with Jim Acosta of CNN (why no CNN names other than Bernstein?)...
