So how long will the douche media wait to report the Susan Rice story?

[water505]

I'll say three days, tops.

If you ask for a link or "what Susan Rice story" continue getting your news from Facebook.

Maybe they'll try and spin her into a heroine and continue with the phony Russian narrative.

You're getting your news from Mike "rape doesn't happen, Pizzagate is real" Cernovitch.

 

[SyKoKo]

Cooked Rice!


Attacking Brown Rice is RACIST

If you got it elsewhere, doesn't that mean the media have already covered it?

They're only accusing her because she and her boss are black, and everyone knows it. Right Oreo?

 

[phrodeau]

Hmmm... unmasking traitors or being traitors. Which could possibly be worse?

 

[KingOrfeo]

They're only accusing her because they've been in the habit too long to break it. And from Whitewater to Vince Foster to Benghazi to emailgate, the accusations have always been bullshit; this is no different. (OK, the Goldman Sachs thing, that's real; but not something to which Pubs could sincerely object.)

Take note of the response from the usual minions.

They will ignore the story and continue to yammer about Russia...

I can see Russia behind every Trump move!!!​

The media’s biased coverage of Obamagate continues to shift. First, reporters feigned outrage that Trump would dare to say that the saintly Barack Obama had spied on him. Never mind that Trump’s assertion sparked off their own reporting — reports clearly based on criminal leaks from Obama aides spying on Trump. But now reporters are pursuing a new line of attack against Trump, which can be translated as: Yes, Obama spied on you — and good for him. Take a look at this headline from a column at Slate magazine hastily run after the revelation that top Obama aide Susan Rice had snooped on Trump and his associates: “I Hope Susan Rice Was Keeping Tabs on Trump’s Russia Ties.”

Look how far the progressive champions of “civil liberties” have fallen. These are the same liberals who call Nixon a monster for having justified political espionage on specious national security grounds. Could anyone imagine Slate running a column lauding Richard Nixon for spying on Daniel Ellsberg?

How did we find out about Susan Rice’s role in Obamagate? Not from the mainstream media at first, but from a pro-Trump blogger named Mike Cernovich, who says he found out about the Rice story from a disgruntled staffer at a publication unwilling to publish it. In other words, he pulled a Matt Drudge. On Sunday night, Cernovich wrote that he had “been informed that Maggie Haberman has had this story about Susan Rice for at least 48 hours, and has chosen to sit on it in an effort to protect the reputation of former President Barack Obama.”

Haberman works at the New York Times. Now that the story is out, what is Haberman tweeting and re-tweeting? One links to a Max Boot tweet, which says, “Are Trump aides breaking the law by rooting around in intel database for political purposes?” Another links to a “meaty explainer” saying that Rice’s spying on Trump was justified.

The partisan gall of the media is impossible to overstate here. After Trump’s tweets, reporters hectored him for having “no proof” of spying and demanded that he furnish them with it. Now that he and Devin Nunes give them proof, they suddenly don’t want it — and accuse them of political espionage.

Story gets better. Someone gave Susan a heads up and she went out and started spinning before the story broke (possibly Haberman).

Get the feeling that they're playing to the 30 (+/-) percenter's now?

In the end they'll find Obama's fingerprints on the scandal. Trump will use it for deal making.

Yes. Their hardcore base sees nothing wrong and possibly something patriotic. The Trumpers feel vindicated and the #Trump Republicans are remaining on the sidelines...



There are some Democrat reporters and columnists who are absolutely signing the death warrants of their careers by stepping outside the Party response, "She did nothing illegal."

Some see it as a career enhancer. After all the NYT has already stated that they intend to be the official opposition news source. No loss of objectivity there, right?

Here's the problem. While Rice MAY have been the source of the information that was widely disseminated, she is not necessarily the source that leaked to the press. Obama's new "rules" made it possible for a whole host of drones to get their hands on that info. Rice herself can be legally held blameless regardless of the optics.

Pretty much. She'll do the Lerner-Koskinen...

After all, the opposition press is going to stick with Russia.

They have no choice in that decision. But they're going to be left preaching to the choir as more of this unfolds.

Perhaps, but exactly 'whose' ratings are we talking about? I see that 'Mad Cow' Maddow is enjoying a big uptick now. Standing up there leading the choir.

On a side note, I'm sooooooooo over the whole _________(fill in the blank)Gate thing. It's been WAY over used but I suppose that it's part of the lexicon now.

I was reading somewhere in the past few weeks that even MSNBC is enjoying higher ratings.



When President Obama was in office, there was no need to hang onto the daily news cycle, because everything was golden in their world. As they saw it, the world was at peace, we were safe and secure, the economy was roaring and once again, the world respected us.

Now they need to know just how evil Trump is, just how stupid Republicans are, how the two of them are going to destroy the economy, health care, the environment, the Supreme Court, Planned Parenthood, PBS...,

This could be one of the bigger turds I've seen you roll out since I've been here. You ought to put an application in with Propaganda and Agitation Department of the Workers Party of Korea. I think you'd excel at updating Kim Jong-un's ever-evolving legend.

What's interesting about that is that the rating service, Nielsen, is under a cloud for gerrymandering their reports. That is NOT to say that MSNBC et al are not enjoying higher ratings, but it does call into question exactly how much higher.

However your point is well taken, their anxiety is showing.

Occupying rock bottom allows for the success of even the smallest of reporting effort.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I find the rampant hysteria hysterical and while I have certainly not been a fan of Trump, the fact that he could get them to put their true selves on such full display gives me such a measure of satisfaction. As I have said elsewhere this morning, they are so crazy that the Senate Democrats have no choice but to commit political suicide over Gorsuch...


Simply fascinating.

Now, they have to admit that they have a problem.

Thought I read the other day that big networks are moving away from the Nielson rating service.
