Political Operatives Masquerading as Journalists

… House is a terrible precedent and practice.

Such a move would raise serious constitutional questions and undermine the country's long-standing position as a voice for the free press. It is hard for the United States to advocate for press rights globally when it is banning disfavored outlets.

… reporting on it or egging it on. They. Were. Part. Of. It. They were the ones who seeded the original story as part of Comey's operation to launder the fraudulent Steele dossier into legitimacy.

Politico, too, is part of the lawfare machine. Remember that story about the 51 intelligence officials supposedly claiming that Hunter's laptop was a Russian plot? Well, they didn't actually say that because they wanted deniability. They merely suggested it. Politico then ran the headline claiming they had actually said it, and we were off to the races.

With MSNBC, the constant spewing of lies is so extensive that one hardly knows where to begin. But given the hysterical reaction to the White House ban, people seem to have already forgotten that, among all the other things MSNBC did, it provided landing pads for virtually every major lawfare operator. They were literally rewarding the lawfare people for doing the lawfare, giving jobs to John Brennan, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Andrew Weissmann, Frank Figliuzzi, Mary McCord, and many others.

CNN did it too, just less extravagantly, mainly rewarding James Clapper and Andrew McCabe for their lawfare.

So even if there were some right to be inside the White House, which there is not, they long ago forfeited any claim to special treatment. But the main point is much simpler. They are not news organizations. Do not buy into the false framing.
