The Media's Role in the Ongoing Scandals

While the general public awaits the declassification and release of the now-infamous four-page memo written by House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes, R-Calif., those who have read it are remarking with astonishment at the depths to which our federal government (including and especially persons in law enforcement and national security) has sunk.
Politicians and pundits alike are saying that this is "bigger than Watergate." And plenty of people are talking about the roles played in the emerging scandal by FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, Independent Counsel (and former FBI firector) Robert Mueller, Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, former FBI Director James Comey, former MI6 spy Christopher Steele (author of the "Trump dossier") and the FISA court, just to name a few key players and institutions. But this is only the latest in a long line of scandals on the Democratic side of the political aisle (and they seem to get progressively worse as time goes on). What far fewer people are discussing is the role that the media has played in bringing us to this point.
Like Donald Trump or hate him, among the feats he has accomplished is exposing the fraud of the U.S. media. We've all known about the pervasive left-wing bias among the national media. What was less well-known, but is becoming increasingly apparent, is the extent to which the media has actually facilitated misconduct by the government, as well as political campaigns and candidates.
