A discredited media has never expressed remorse for damage done
Joe Biden lied repeatedly when he claimed he knew nothing of his son Hunter’s influence-peddling businesses.
The President further prevaricated that he had no involvement in Hunter’s various shake down schemes.
Yet, the media continued to misinform by serially ignoring these facts.
Had journalists just been honest and independent, then candidate Joe Biden might have lost a presidential debate and even the 2020 election. The public would have learned that Hunter’s business associates and his laptop proved Joe was deeply involved in his son’s illicit businesses.
Later, as the evidence from IRS whistleblowers mounted, the White House stonewalled subpoenaed efforts and sought to craft an outrageous plea deal reduction in Hunter’s legal exposure.
Reporters ignored the Ukrainians who claimed Joe Biden himself talked to them about quid pro quo arrangements.
They again discounted Hunter’s laptop that explicitly demonstrated that Hunter was whining that he had handed over large percentages of his income to his father Joe—variously referred to as the Big Guy and a “ten percent” recipient on many deals.
They played dumb about Joe Biden’s use of pseudonyms and alias email accounts to hide thousands of his communications to Hunter and associates.
They attacked the former Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who now claims Biden was likely bribed by Ukrainians.
Yet the media can no longer hide the reality that the President of the United States likely took bribes to influence or alter U.S. policy to suit his payers. Those two crimes—bribery and treason—are specifically delineated in the Constitution as impeachable offenses.
In denial, the media has instead pivoted with hysterical glee over various weaponized prosecutions of Donald Trump.

VDH-—Such a cynical view of the media is justified given their record of both incompetence and unapologetic deceit.
From 2015 to 2019, we were suffocated 24/7 with lies like “Russian collusion,” “Putin’s puppet,” “election rigging” and the “Steele dossier.”
When all such “evidence” was proven to be a complete fraud cooked up through Hillary Clinton’s stealthy hiring of and collusion with a discredited ex-British spy, a Russian fabulist at the Brookings Institution and a Clinton toady in Moscow.

EDITED .....Nick Shapiro, a former top aide under CIA director John Brennan, provided POLITICO with the now notorious signed letter, insistently noting, “the 51 intel leaders who signed this worked for the past four presidents, including Trump.......and indicates the number of former, working-level intel officers who want the American people to know that once again the Russians are interfering.”
<><>The sub rosa purpose of the signed letter was to boost candidate Biden.....several of the 51 signers had publicly endorsed Biden......all blithely reported by the deceitful media
<><> Aiding and abetting the scheme, The New York Times actually raised questions about the rigor of the Post’s reporting, casting doubt on the Post’s reporting of Hunter’s salacious laptop.
<><>However, the NYP stood by its astute, detailed, groundbreaking reporting.
<><>The media kept sucking-up as the wily Hunter cravenly lied that the abandoned laptop was actually his, despite incontrovertible truth to the contrary.
The widely reported bogus collusion story, financed by Hillary, was shrewdly designed to mimic 2016, when Russian hackers dumped troves of emails from Democrats onto the internet — producing few damaging revelations - but calculatedly fueling accusations of so-called “corruption” by Trump.
While back in 2020 there had been no immediate indications of Russian involvement, the general thrust advanced by the media was intended to aid and abet a “Get Trump” narrative.
The media kiss-up included reports about US intel agencies obsessively insisting there was “an active Russian disinformation effort aimed at denigrating Biden’s candidacy.”
M.E.D.I.A...Marxist Egotistical Ideologues Destroying In America. it’s what they do and will continue to do until stopped. who will stop them? good question. the single biggest challenge to saving these United States of America from a Marxist takeover from within can be summed up in one word...Apathy.

They have been doing it for decades. Why has the NY Times never given back the Pulitzer Prize that the crooked drunk Walter Duranty got for lying about the Stalin-induced famine in Ukraine that starved 8 million to death? Why has the Washington Post not given back its Pulitzer for “reporting” on the Russian hoax and NOT about the fact it was a complete and thorough lie. And on the “investigative” side, why has there been no establishment “journalism” about the JFK murder which was patently the product of one Lyndon Johnson? The whole thing is a construct, a pack of lies and a bunch of pompous phonies.
The left you’re talking about, does that include Auntie M or Uncle Ernie? What about the harmless spinster lady down the road?
IMHO, yes it does. They are the ones who vote for the evil leaders. They are the ones that deserve our scorn and we need to do 2 things with them.
1) try to change their voting habits, we all love someone who votes dim, considering what their decisions are doing to everyone it’s time for a serious discussion. I’m estranged from a daughter, it hurts but it’s her decision to become a leftard…a radical leftard.
2) ostracize them until they relent or die.
I don’t see any middle ground. The left is driving the America train at speed towards the communist turn, we must put a stop to it…period.
The same biased reporters now claimed that the heroic Andrew Vindman had caught Donald Trump fabricating lies about the Bidens—given Joe Biden was a possible 2020 opponent—to force Ukraine to investigate them or lose American foreign aid.
On that accusation Trump was impeached.
And that the whistleblower had no first-hand knowledge of the Trump call but was spoon fed a script cooked up by the gadfly Vindman and Rep. Adam Schiff.
And to this day I suspect that there was more to the Schiff-Vindman axis of evil than was ever exposed.
Very well worth your time today!

Reptilian Sidney Blumenthal, Hillary’s henchman, wrote the memo describing the vast right wing conspiracy to spread Monica’s story to the MSM echo chamber. In actuality the memo was the blue print for the vast left wing conspiracy to control the media. Out of this came David Brock and Media Matters, fact checkers, paid journalists, censorship, etc. The left has been very effective in this realm. As long as it controls the daily narrative, communism advances. Fortunately for us, news of the collapse of permissive blue state model and their degenerate policies is leaking out through alternate media sources.
....that hundreds of millions of useful idiots believe...every time.
I used to be a big fan of VDH. I’ve bought many of his books. I was totally stunned when he completely misread the Uke morass. He was mouthing the ludicrous claim that the motive behind Putin’s Uke incursion was a revanchist Soviet Union. Sheer stupidity from such an intelligent guy. Did he ever come around to his senses on this issue?
LOL...Triple indeed!
I may take on Quad:
Spot on!
Discouraging and somewhat depressing, but...spot on.
VDH. Expositor of the obvious.
At what point does a media organ cross the line from exercising a first amendment right to being an accessory to a crime? Or putting it another way, used a phrase the Left seems to like to trot out recently: how often has the 'media' shouted fire in a crowded theater with knowledge there was no fire to be had?
For later
