The alleged journalists of the legacy media spent all weekend denouncing President Trump and the GOP for ignoring their warnings against the release of the infamous FISA Memo.
The party line from the New York Times, the Washington Post, and countless lesser outlets that parrot their "News" stories is that the memo was both a "Nothingburger" and a dangerous attempt to undermine federal law enforcement agencies.
The memo's release provided none of the vindication the President sought or would claim, but it was hugely consequential nonetheless, in how it undermined the system of checks and balances designed to insulate the FBI from White House meddling.
Gallup recently reported, "Americans believe the news media play an important role in democracy, particularly in terms of informing the public, yet they do not think the media are fulfilling that role well." According to Gallup, only 28 percent of the public believe the media is doing a decent job of informing the public.
The Washington Post ran a story yesterday titled, "Republicans futilely try to contain the Nunes memo." Why would the Republicans need to "Contain" a memo they released, over the vehement objections of the Post, a memo that reveals a conspiracy by the Obama DOJ and the Clinton presidential campaign to deceive a FISA court for the purpose of obtaining a warrant to spy on an American citizen? If the solution to this conundrum seems elusive, you're not the problem.
Just a year ago, the Washington Post adopted the pompous, and yet indisputably true slogan, "Democracy Dies in Darkness." Just this week, the paper dismissed the Congressional Memo as "a hyper-partisan attempt to discredit Mueller." Of course, the Post would have no way of knowing that, they haven't seen the memo.
The answer is, of course, "When secrecy protects the Democrats." The media opposed releasing the memo based on a variety of portentous prevarications, all of which have disappeared down the memory hole.
