AG Barr blasts ‘mainstream’ media for enabling ‘Spygate’ scandal: ‘They’re supposed to be watchdogs’
The National Sentinel ^ | 6/3/19 | Jon Dougherty

Posted on 06/03/2019 6:32:29 AM PDT by SleeperCatcher

If anyone currently working for and on behalf of the Trump administration has an expert’s grasp of our Constitution, our founding, and what sort of country our founders bequeathed to their descendants, it’s Attorney General William Barr.

During his multi-faceted interview last week with CBS News, the AG took the Left-wing “mainstream media” to task for failing to properly report on the “Spygate” scandal that, in fact, they helped to enable by serving as conduits for lies, fake news, and phony allegations against a president their friends in the deep state sought to depose.

More specifically, Barr was floored by the fact that the media was uninterested in the origins of the Russia probe — why it started, who started it, and what evidence or events actually initiated it.

The media has lost all relevance because of their Fake News binge.

Following CW-II, there will be very special guillotines prepared for the press.

Very special.

Seriously?

Barr doesn't know the answer to THAT question?

My gut tells me he knows why the propaganda media was not interested.

McCarthy was right. We are seeing the conclusion of the commie infiltration of our institutions.

What is “mainstream” about this media? Deep State media is more appropriate.

“Following CW-II, there will be very special guillotines prepared for the press. Very special.”

Maybe the “mark of the beast” us a bullet wound in the center of their forehead!!!

Revelation 20:4
I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads

The media have joined the enemy and must be defeated.

Conservatives have waited too long to fight for truth, pretending that peace and going along to get along were somehow preferable.

That fits the media perfectly: The personal bodyguards of the Democrat party.

If Attorney General Barr was paying attention he would’ve known this 3 years ago. This is not news.

“They’re supposed to be, you know, the watchdogs of our civil liberties,”

Amen. The bulk of responsibility for failed liberal policies and this deep set corruption can be laid squarely at the foot of the liberal mainstream media.

When they began to pick a dog in the race years ago it became their agenda to over-criticize the right and to lend favor to the left and it evolved into outright lies and cover-ups’. Which was exactly the opposite of their responsibility as journalists.

I forget how long I’ve had it but me and my tagline agree with Barr.

Yep. They are the vanguard of the proletariat, the people who will awaken the progressive consciousness of the workers and peasants.

The media stopped being a watch dog decades ago. They are big business. They are run by a select few billionaires. And they very much want to choose our politicians. While Trump may not say very accurate things all the time. The real story here is that, neither does the media. Its the media that makes a business of disseminating information, and now we know that information is fictional. A politician is assumed to be partisan. A news paper is assumed to lean left or right. But now we know that they are full advocates of the DNC and have lost any pretense to fairness or truth.

Here’s the good stuff:

More specifically, Barr was floored by the fact that the media was uninterested in the origins of the Russia probe — why it started, who started it, and what evidence or events actually initiated it.

“The fact that today people just seem to brush aside that it is okay, you know, to engage in these activities (spying) on a political campaign is stunning to me, especially when the media doesn’t seem to think it’s worth looking into.

“They’re supposed to be, you know, the watchdogs of our civil liberties,” he added.

Bingo. Spot-on. Aces.

Barr’s comments come as House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), a serial leaker and original ‘Spygate’ truther, is demanding that intelligence briefings from spy chiefs regarding the attorney general’s investigation.

Er, I don't think this is Barr's first rodeo. Questions like that from him are rhetorical. If you need to clean house in a culture, you start with publicly posed questions that are so simple, they instantly reveal the corruption that has infected our institutions like a hairy fungus.

This was Barr's: Why was a Constitutionally protected press uninterested in one of the basic facts any pup reporter in his first week on the job would look for--"So, where did this claim about Donald Trump come from?"

The media's incurious minds on this elementary question point to the only possible answers, both of which are utterly damning, humiliating, and incriminating: 1) They made it up themselves; or 2) They are in a conspiracy with the people who made it up.
