It was a case of incredibly bad timing on
the part of CBS News. On the same day we learned that there had been a
massive leak of classified information engineered through President
Obama’s CIA, the CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley featured one of Obama’s former CIA directors arguing that Trump was being irrational by criticizing the intelligence community.
Obama’s former CIA director, Leon
Panetta, wondered about the “trust of the American people in the
credibility” of Trump, when his own credibility was in question.
The bizarre spectacle was another
indication that the liberal media have come completely unglued over
President Trump’s unorthodox way of doing business in Washington, and
his willingness to confront the issue of corruption in the intelligence
community.
The question, in the wake of the
WikiLeaks disclosures of some of the CIA’s most important secrets,
should have been what Leon Panetta and other Obama CIA directors, such
as John Brennan, were doing when all of this classified information was
being stolen.
It is apparent that CBS and other media
organizations are too close to the intelligence community to question
what is really going on. Indeed, in retrospect, it might seem proper to
ask whether the anonymous sources in the intelligence community leaking
derogatory information against Trump are trying to divert attention away
from the infiltration of their own ranks by agents for Russia, China,
or other American enemies or adversaries.
