At the time of their release, the media praised Democrat Adam Schiff and his memo and vilified Republican Devin Nunes and his memo.
Nearly two years later, the inspector general's report vindicates the Nunes memo while showing that the Schiff memo was riddled with lies and false statements.
The media joined Department of Justice bureaucrats in bitterly opposing the release of the Nunes memo.
When the report was released, the media made a variety of contradictory claims, all of them downplaying or dismissing the memo as nothing whatsoever.
CNN had their good buddy James Clapper, an Obama intelligence chief, say that the memo was a "Blatant political act." John Brennan, Obama's CIA chief who was also implicated in the spying on the Trump campaign, told Politico that the memo was "Exceptionally partisan." Politico claimed the memo "Makes no sense."
"Nail in the Coffin for Nunes Memo," declared the headline of an article that effusively praised Schiff while utterly condemning Nunes.
It is unclear if the media will revisit, much less apologize for, their false claims about the Nunes memo or credulous support of Schiff's memo.
