Comes a Reckoning

The very the very very liberal, and very anti-Trump, Matt Taibbi writes that the the press has damaged its reputation far worse than its purported gullibility on WMDs in Iraq ever did. (Yes, I know this is kind of a silly premise, but this premise -- that the press was super-pro-Bush and eager to defer to him and invade Iraq -- is dear to leftwing hearts, so when they say this is even worse, it's a big deal.)

Nobody wants to hear this, but news that Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller is headed home without issuing new charges is a death-blow for the reputation of the American news media.
...
The Special Prosecutor literally became a religious figure during the last few years, with votive candles sold in his image and Saturday Night Live cast members singing "All I Want for Christmas is You" to him featuring the rhymey line: "Mueller please come through, because the only option is a coup."
...
For those anxious to keep the dream alive, the Times published its usual graphic of Trump-Russia "contacts," inviting readers to keep making connections. But in a separate piece by Peter Baker, the paper noted the Mueller news had dire consequences for the press:

It will be a reckoning for President Trump, to be sure, but also for Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, for Congress, for Democrats, for Republicans, for the news media and, yes, for the system as a whole…
This is a damning page one admission by the Times. Despite the connect-the-dots graphic in its other story, and despite the astonishing, emotion-laden editorial the paper also ran suggesting "We don’t need to read the Mueller report" because we know Trump is guilty, Baker at least began the work of preparing Times readers for a hard question: "Have journalists connected too many dots that do not really add up?"
The paper was signaling it understood there would now be questions about whether or not news outlets like itself made galactic errors by betting heavily on a new, politicized approach, trying to be true to "history's judgment" on top of the hard-enough job of just being true....
Nothing Trump is accused of from now on by the press will be believed by huge chunks of the population, a group that (perhaps thanks to this story) is now larger than his original base. As Baker notes, a full 50.3% of respondents in a poll conducted this month said they agree with Trump the Mueller probe is a "witch hunt."
...
There was never real gray area here. Either Trump is a compromised foreign agent, or he isn't. If he isn't, news outlets once again swallowed a massive disinformation campaign, only this error is many orders of magnitude more stupid than any in the recent past, WMD included. Honest reporters like ABC’s Terry Moran understand: Mueller coming back empty-handed on collusion means a "reckoning for the media."
Of course, there won’t be such a reckoning. (There never is). But there should be. We broke every written and unwritten rule in pursuit of this story, starting with the prohibition on reporting things we can't confirm.

Say, wasn't that crazy Kool-Aid-drinking Trump Shill Mollie Hemingway writing about the media using unverified claims from anonymous sources (often single-sourced) a lot?

Well, that just proves she's crazy.

Speaking of, her husband Mark wants a specific reckoning on media's claims to be so important as to be above any criticism-- and the Dead Enders of anti-Trump "right" who echoed that.

While we're all dealing with the fallout from the Mueller report, let me get something off my chest: Of all the despicable things that happened in the last two years, I'm perhaps most galled by the constant refrain that the American media was this VITAL INSTITUTION currently manning the DMZ between American civilization and chaos, and as such had to be spared from any serious criticism at this time ("this time" being the dark age that descended immediately upon us when Hillary Clinton lost a free and fair election).
I heard this loudly from those on the right, as well as the left. Media criticism had been a significant portion of my work as a journalist, and this sudden and entirely unwarranted reverence for the media actually affected my career negatively because I didn't stop trying to point out that large swaths of the media were clearly acting unethical and irresponsible.
Meanwhile, mainstream journalists were taking talking points straight from the likes of liars such as Brennan and Clapper (and trying to intimidate critics behind the scenes -- I got a lovely personal story about that), claiming the Logan Act was a real thing that merited law enforcement investigation, lapping up self-serving leaks from a thoroughly corrupted FBI, and generally engaged malpractice and groupthink across the board. This may prove to be the most credibility damaging episode of the modern era.
But no! You can't dare criticize the media, even if you couch it in an acknowledgement of Trump's own issues with the truth and plead for a course correction instead of tearing the media down.
(Having ranted about all this personally, NOW IMAGINE WHAT MY WIFE ENDURED for being correct when everyone around her was wrong and extremely self-righteous about it.)
Everyone who said that the media are above criticism only made it so much worse. If you were worried that those nasty Trumpers would tear down the media two years ago, prepare to reap the whirlwind.

Speaking of, over at the Federalist, an intelligence/military interrogator and debriefer going by a pseudonym writes about the need for a media reckoning:

What we won't hear is an apology, or an introspective review of the mistakes and professional lapses that brought us all to this point. There will be a reckoning, but that reckoning won't be televised.
Instead, the reckoning will take place in the hearts and minds of the millions of Americans outside the Acela corridor who've been watching this slow-motion train wreck of a self-absorbed, hopelessly biased legacy media beclowning themselves in pursuit of the admiration and legitimacy of their peers, and of the Democratic politicians with whom they share secrets, lies, and tactics in furtherance of their mutual ideological objectives...

[Their] audience saw through the attempts of Reps. Schiff, Eric Swalwell, and Ted Lieu to represent innuendo as evidence, all the while silently urging the journalists hosting them to simply ask them a pertinent follow-up question....

And they knew why.
...
As much as I'd like to close with a quick word of advice for the media, for the Democratic politicians who pushed the treason narrative, and for the Comeys, Brennans, and Clappers, et al. who engineered this debacle, I honestly have no advice to give. It's over. There is no recovery from this.
The reckoning may not be televised, but it will be this: You will no longer be believed.

By the way, all of these posts are worth reading in full. I recommend them all.

Oh, and read this thread by none other than Glen "Ellers" Greenwald explaining to a leftist idiot that the "crazies" at the Federalist got this story right for two years while she and her moronic colleagues she thinks are smart and on the ball got it completely wrong at every juncture and in every single detail.

But trust them -- they're the smart ones! The smart ones who are just always wrong about everything.

But this is Current Year -- intelligence isn't measured by how many things you get right and the general reliability of your analytical judgment.

It's measured by your self-esteem and how smart you feeeeeel you are.

While standard liberals outlets obediently said whatever they were told by the CIA & FBI, many reporters at right-wing media outlets which are routinely mocked by super-smart liberals as primitive & propagandistic did relentlessly great digging & reporting.

A reckoning, as the Federalist's pseudonymous interrogator says, is indeed happening.

It's not just the corporate media that has a reckoning coming, either: It's the Fusion-GPS-style funded-by-billionaires for personal agenda Vanity Media, too:

They spent two years running sock puppet smear campaigns, peddling nonsense conspiracy theories, destroying The Weekly Standard, and cashing checks from left-wing abortion funders, and all they got was a punchline that moonlights as a blog nobody reads. https://t.co/Ny7CYbLhd5

12 When I have gone down the list of the "Things that Trump actually did" that the Dems say were "right in front of everybody", it appears to me that they want to indict--or impeach a President for...speech.

They say that speaking treachery against the Police State is "Obstruction". They say that being skeptical of "17 Intelligence Agencies (okay 4)" is "Treason". They say that decrying the sad state of urinalism of today is "Suppression".

They want him indicted or impeached ... for speech. This is how totalitarian your Democratic party has gotten over night.

Even with the all-clear on Russia, the Mueller probe has hurt Trump. Seven Trump associates have been convicted of crimes or indicted, and Cohen, Trump's former lawyer, has supposedly provided further leads. Trump can claim a win on Russia, but Mueller has exposed a griftiness at the core of Trump's operation, and provided evidence to back it up.

I said something like this today, as it relates to the entirely loathesome wails of the NeverTrumpers ("Where are the apologies due to Saint Mueller?!").

Mueller is just as corrupt and terrible as he was last week, and his partisan band of Hillary loyalists get no thanks from me for having been unable to find any evidence that would sink their political enemy, PDJT. What they should get, what all of the people who participated in this coup attempt should get, is the full measure of the Che Guevara (their other hero) brand of law.

The media's credibility on the WMD issue is not that WMDs were a hoax (they weren't), it's that, once they realized Bush was vulnerable, they claimed it was a lie and a hoax and used that to smear a sitting President. And apparently all the people that believed this smear were too incurious to search the archives of the paper that reported the real thing.

The 25% of the Dems and 25% of the Republicans who are not political junkies into this thing every day have just tuned in and they see the word "Exonerated." They will have no patience or interest in continuing to hear about this anymore. If the Dems push this it will be at their peril.

The 15% of the Left who are the TrueBelievers (which also include 90% of the media) will ALWAYS vote D, just like the same percentage on the other side will always vote R.

146 As much as I'd like to close with a quick word of advice for the media, for the Democratic politicians who pushed the treason narrative, and for the Comeys, Brennans, and Clappers, et al. who engineered this debacle, I honestly have no advice to give. It's over. There is no recovery from this.

I do.

It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.

Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.

Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.

Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?

Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?

Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?

Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.

Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.

I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place.

Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.

In the name of God, go!

Even with the all-clear on Russia, the Mueller probe has hurt Trump. Seven Trump associates have been convicted of crimes or indicted, and Cohen, Trump's former lawyer, has supposedly provided further leads. Trump can claim a win on Russia, but Mueller has exposed a griftiness at the core of Trump's operation, and provided evidence to back it up.

The "obstruction" narrative is still-born as far as I can see. The President has the authority to fire the Director of the FBI. So the only reason it could be "obstruction" would be if there were a justice investigation into Trump. Which Comey, in assuring the president there was not was lying to his superior, which is cause in almost any employment relationship--and definitely in "at the pleasure of" relationships.

The Dems are going to have to say "Logic is White-power and Mansplaining" to get by Schroedinger's Comey who is both investigating Trump and not lying to him about the investigation.

It could have been at least somewhat excusable to lie to the Chief Executive if you had told Congress. But Congress was in the hands of Republicans, so not telling any elected authority sounds like a partisan action, and so there is no way to see it except that the FBI was rogue, still acting on the orders of then-private citizen Barack Obama.

Posted by: Axeman at March 25, 2019 12:55 PM (vDqXW)

218 As an aside, I think the obstruction 'no evidence to convict or exonerate' is Mueller covering his own ass. We don't know what is in the memoranda authorizing the special counsel investigation, but sneaky Rod Rosenstein and his allies could have put anything in there, including blanket license to do whatever. His buddies (McCabe, Page, etc) are starting to sing, and it will make its way to RR. Mueller's phrasing allows him to thread the needle: 'see, regardless of what RR/DOJ said I only looked at collusion. No evidence of obstruction but wasn't *really* looking at that.'

I think he's a swampy snake, but he knows the writing onthe wall.

Politico had a thing about how Trump and his aides appear unconcerned about helping national unity or healing and I shrieked so loudly I think I deafened some dogs.

There isn't going to be any reckoning. I think it was in the John Doe 3 decision in Wisconsin that the state Supreme Court noted that yet more documents had been found that the court had demanded be destroyed and it still wasn't definite that all the documents had been discovered or that there weren't other investigations never disclosed.

I appear to be one of the only people still horrified about the Bundy prosecution where the DOJ charged the Bundys with fraud for fundraising off of having snipers aimed at them, told the court that the notion there was proof there were snipers was insane, and then when the whistleblower turned over all documents the DOJ said oh this gate key and, to the best of my knowledge, nothing happened other than the DOJ appealing dismissal of the charges since what they did wasn't that bad.

It established nothing of the sort. It took that as a starting presumption. No investigation into such has ever been conducted, except by a paid operative of the DNC and hillary, which firm has ties apparent loyalties to anti-Russia elements of Ukraine.
They were given $100 M by hillary supporter, google, after their report, IIRC.

There are so many conflicts upon conflicts upon conflicts in such "evidence" of Russia hacking, that it would never withstand scrutiny in an adversarial court. I suspect that this is one major reason that Mueller never would indict anything that lead down that road.

Even if the IP addresses were located in Russia, it could have been a compromised computer taken over by a FBI agent here in the USA.

369 But after the nearly two-year investigation found no collusion or clear
obstruction of justice, Trump and his aides showed little interest in
healing or national unity.

We've seen some really foul explosive diarrhea spew forth from media pieholes and keyboards but that one may take the cake.

The complaint alleges Avenatti said he'd refrain from holding a press conference, if Nike paid his client $1.5 million & agreed to "retain" him to conduct an "internal investigation," for which he and a co-conspirator would be paid "at a minimum, between $15 and $25 million."

Posted by: Tami at March 25, 2019 01:12 PM (cF8AT)

371 Well, technically Hunter got paid but nobody said he couldn't share some of his newfound wealth.

Hunter also got something like a billion dollars from a Chinese investment firm which is just a front for the Chinese government after Joey Choo Choo made a trip to China.

Yep, there's no reckoning when our government agencies can get away with hideous abuse of citizens such as the Bundys, the WI John Does, True the Vote, all of the Trump people who were bankrupted defending themselves from the intentionally destructive process and then just sorta say, "Oopsie, our bad, whatever."

Only way anyone moves on, that there is even the possibility of "healing" and "national unity" (*eye roll*) is the now-fired people are prosecuted. Time to share who in addition to McCabe is facing jail time, fines, etc.

Same for the media: who is being prosecuted for assisting the Obama DoJ/FBI/CIA and others in this attempted coup.

Them not winning is not enough. A lot of them losing their jobs is not enough. They need to feel the same pain the inflicted on people like Trump, Flynn, Caputo and others -- and jail, etc.

2) The leaked E-Mails from the DNC, and most likely from a phishing scheme and not a hack. They were not Hillary's E-Mails from her illegal server. They were DNC E-Mails from a couple of folks, primarily Podesta. DNC. Not Hillary. Not the same.

The real story and the bombshell revelation is the attempted coup against the President who was properly and rightly elected. The peaceful transfer of power that almost wasn't a transfer and would have been less than peaceful. The fact that the dims have the house now is because of the false cloud of suspicion that surrounded the President. The media should reflect and beg forgiveness but they won't. Sad.

Using either "Trump" or "Mueller" as the subject, the following word "indictment" was not suggested even after spelling out most of it. For example, putting "Trump indi" into Google's search bar does not lead to "Trump indictment" but rather to "Trump India," "Trump India Pakistan,"Trump India tariffs," and "Trump Indiana."

Regardless of what the campaign did or did not do to help Russia with this criminal conspiracy, Trump actively and publicly engaged in an effort to cover it up. That's collusion, no matter how you look at it

No he didn't, and even if he did it isn't collusion, and even if it was "collusion" isn't a crime, conspiracy is.

453 Meanwhile at least The Hill shows a shred of integrity and honor:

Whatever his supposed flaws, the rampant accusations and speculation that shrouded Trump's presidency, even before it began, ultimately have proven unfounded. Just as Trump said all along.

Yet, each time President Trump said so, some of us in the media lampooned him. We treated any words he spoke in his own defense as if they were automatically to be disbelieved because he had uttered them. Some even declared his words to be "lies," although they had no evidence to back up their claims.

We in the media allowed unproven charges and false accusations to dominate the news landscape for more than two years, in a way that was wildly unbalanced and disproportionate to the evidence.

We did a poor job of tracking down leaks of false information. We failed to reasonably weigh the motives of anonymous sources and those claiming to have secret, special evidence of Trump's "treason."

As such, we reported a tremendous amount of false information, always to Trump's detriment.

And when we corrected our mistakes, we often doubled down more than we apologized. We may have been technically wrong on that tiny point, we would acknowledge. But, in the same breath, we would insist that Trump was so obviously guilty of being Russian President Vladimir Putin's puppet that the technical details hardly mattered.

457 Bloomberg: Trump's Told-You-So Moment Rattles Democrats

It's a new day in Washington, as Democrats' hopes that Robert Mueller would deliver a body blow to Donald Trump have evaporated.

The special counsel's conclusion there was no conspiracy between Trump's campaign and Russia in the 2016 election has emboldened the president. That's even as a four-page Justice Department interpretation of Mueller's findings stopped well short of the "complete and total exoneration" Trump claimed. Russia urged Trump to seize the opportunity to reset relations.

Democrats, who had long anticipated Mueller's report would provide enough ammunition to politically handicap the president, if not impeach him, now find themselves in perilous territory.

Its actually simple.

The FBI had no Jurisdiction in the case. Most computer 'hacking' laws are State, not Federal Laws.

It only becomes a Federal issue if it comes from outside the US, crosses State Lines, or is a Federally owned computer system.

The DNC computers were not Federal, the hack did not cross State Lines, and was done from inside the US.

521 The DNC computers were not Federal, the hack did not cross State Lines, and was done from inside the US.

Posted by: Don Q at March 25, 2019 01:24 PM (NgKpN)

This is speculation, which is all we have. If that is the case, Comey can testify to it, which destroys the muh Russia narrative, because the DNC "hack" is central. And I think it is a dubious claim that there are no federal statutes that give jurisdiction over the alleged hack.

Did you check the queue forming up on the Golden Gate Bridge? I bet it was chock-a-block.

524 453 Meanwhile at least The Hill shows a shred of integrity and honor:

That's Sheryl Atkisson writing, not the others (except John Solomon, a hero) and I expect none of those who perpetuated the lies will ever do anything similar.

The War is beginning, not ending. Please understand this. It is entering its next phase, via Nadler, Swallowwell, and Shittt.

And the anti-American press will continue to lay down cover for these clowns.

525 They should padlock all schools of "journalism." It's a pathetic attempt to professionalize an honorable but blue collar occupation. There are no schools of lawnmowing.

Information vetting could be considered a "professional skill" if they would teach that. But somehow, I can't believe they do, if all you have to do is after 2 years of high-fives and shit-eating grins over "trouble for the president" you can simply say "We were given bad info" and expect that to be that.

530 Trump said today that this has to be stopped because only he could have handed it. It's simultaneously a brag and true. He's calling this "evil" and "treason." He's right, of course.

Professor Hanson wrote recently the Deep State is innately cowardly and thrives only when unopposed, as do all bullies.

People have to die in prison over this.

531 506 Agents who signed those FISA warrants affirmed under penalty of perjury and handed the affidavit to a FISA judge.

Under penalty of perjury to a FISA judge.

.. I'm not sure there was a judge in the FISA case. It appears that the POTUS can sign FISA warrants in special cases, much like those old "Presidential Findings" used for Iran-Contra.
Part of the supposed reason not to release the FISA warrant was because it was signed by Obama. Revealing it is a one time proposition.

I don't believe that this is true. The Trump-haters are a cult.

535 Now how's about the reckoning for the Left with their Fake Global Warming/Climate Change scam. Or, their fake concern and their illegal immigrants lives matter more than American lives hokum.
Now is the time to turn Patton loose on them.
Why did the Dems finally give up on slavery or their KKK? The costs became too great. It's time to make them pay, dearly.

537 You remember back in the campaign, when Trump, in his typically hyperbolic manner, said he could "literally" kill someone and get away with it?

It's not hyperbole any more.

No. They LIED. They didn't get it wrong. They *knew* the evidence wasn't there, and they LIED about it.
