Insane with #Russiagate. And MSM are Making a Killing.


This latest BuzzFeed story, claiming that sources close to Michael Cohen and President Trump, verified that Trump ordered Cohen to lie to Congress, concerning a Trump Tower deal in Moscow during the 2016 election, has turned out to be false. A spokesperson for the Mueller investigation, said the story was “inaccurate”. Once again, we have MSM constructing fantasy, using anonymous sources, to further push #Russiagate. When the “bombshell” hit the morning news, major pundits and government officials, all rushed to get on the record, (fools rush in) announcing that the House of Reps would be starting impeachment proceeding, and this latest, is surly “...the end of Trump.” To be sure, the so-called #resistance, despise president Trump to such an extent, that all rational thought has left the building, and any story published by a reputable publication, even alluding to “new evidence proving Trump colluded with Russia,”, is taken as gospel, and spread across social media and MSM as “truth”, when in fact it's all propaganda.

For over two years the MSM and the #resistance have been pushing this Russia conspiracy on just about every news cycle. Talking head's like Rachel Maddow of MSNBC, has turned #Russiagate into her own personal cottage industry, pushing speculation as fact. As I said before, the real shame, however, is her audience, relying on her to give them the truth, are now convinced that Trump colluded with Russia. That, without a shred of evidence, President Vladimir Putin of Russia has a puppet in the WH, and that puppet is Donald Trump. This is simply not the case.

The state of journalism is in peril with mainstream mediums like MSNBC, CNN, The Washington Post and The New York times, publishing stories based on “:anonymous sources”, pushing this Russia narrative, to only later having to retract the story as it proved to be unreliable at best. The Guardian, a once dependable publication, and, for the most part, remains to be, ran a bogus story four weeks ago, alleging that Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager, had visited Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, not once, but twice, during the 2016 campaign. This was another attempt to connect Trump to Russia, while anyone who is aware, knows Assange is not connected to Russia, in the least. It was proven that these”meetings” never occurred, yet The Guardian has not retracted the story. Wikileaks is currently suing the publication for liable.

What the hell is going on here? What is the motive behind MSM pushing this conspiracy theory as fact,? It could be speculated there are at least two reasons. The first reason is the DNC, through the Podesta emails, was revealed their Primaries were rigged in favour of Hillary Clinton. The DNC want to blame someone for their defeat, so why not Russia and Julian Assange? The second reason is much more cynical. Trump chaos and #Russiagate creates high ratings, newspaper sales and clicks. Everyone loves a scandal. And what better scandal than the new president being a Russian spy working with a foreign government. In corporations, to be sure, it's all about the bottom line, and well, never let the truth get in the way of a good story. As a result of this intentional lying for the sake of ratings, journalism is now no more than entertainment.

The BuzzFeed story has turned out to be bogus, as the Mueller team weighed-in, disputing the pieces authenticity. That means a whole day's news cycle was devoted to BS.

But hey, the ratings are high, and our advertisers are happy.

And tomorrow's is just another #Russiagate day.
