He lies constantly. But he lies about the people the MSNBC audience wants to hear lies about. So not only isn't he ever held accountable for those lies, he's rewarded for them. It's what MSNBC wants. And that's why I have zero sympathy for their anger over being called names.
If you're a *media outlet* that employs life-long members of the intelligence community who are trained to lie, deceive and spread disinformation - that's what they do! - then don't whine when politicians denounce you for being propagandists theintercept.com/2018/07/08/msn…
Amazing! After I just noted @MalcolmNance lies compulsively for MSNBC, and provided links where he has done that repeatedly - including I'm paid by the Kremlin & Jill Stein has an RT show - he lies again: claiming I'm paid by Fox. I never have been. How do you allow this, MSNBC??

CNN is leading the way in bashing BuzzFeed but it's worth remembering CNN had a humiliation at least as big & bad: when they yelled that Trump Jr. had advanced access to the WL archive (!): all based on a wrong date. They removed all the segments from YouTube, but this remains:
After CNN "broke" & hyped the story of Trump Jr.'s advanced access to the WL archive, MSNBC's @KenDilanianNBC purported to "independently confirm it" in the most flamboyant way. MSNBC has deleted all those videos. But neither ever explained what happened theintercept.com/2017/12/09/the…
It's totally expected on complicated stories that mistakes will be made. But the same mistake gets made over and over: repeating what anonymous sources say *without seeing evidence. And the most damaging part is the refusal to address key questions, like these:

The steadfastly mute Robert Mueller decided - after 1 1/2 years - to speak out & explicitly deny a major news report because he just had a few trivial, semantic quibbles with some ancillary claims. That there are journalists pushing that bullshit exacerbates the initial debacle.
If you're one of the people tempted to believe the self-evidently laughable claim that there's something "vague" or unclear about Mueller's statement, or that it just seeks to quibble with a few semantic trivialities, read this @WashPost story about this washingtonpost.com/world/national…
I have a lot of respect for @BuzzFeedBen & what he's done as an editor. BuzzFeed has long done serious, great reporting. But multiple media outlets have gotten huge Trump/Russia stories wrong & rank-closing among journalists feeds the perception that journalism can't be trusted.

The FBI's investigation of Trump as a "national security threat" is itself a serious danger. But J. Edgar Hoover pioneered the tactic interc.pt/2M9UpVz
Hoover had the FBI conduct a counter-intelligence investigation on the progressive, elected) Vice President Henry Wallace for years - because they believed his pro-peace views on Russia suggested he was a Kremlin stooge. A Vox article compared expressly compared Wallace & Trump:
This was the 2003 book by the right-wing Mona Charen - "Useful Idiots" - about liberals who wanted better relations with Russia and who denounced CIA/Pentagon propaganda about the threat posed by Moscow: amazon.com/Useful-Idiots-…

As we have observed, going back to the time the infamous leader of National Socialist Germany started his rise to power,

2/ until the defeat of his dictatorship, in the end, he finally chose suicide rather than be held accountable for his evil actions. Those surrounding him were also culpable and knowingly enabled him to do his criminal and destructive work.
⬇️
3/ However, they were ultimately held accountable and history records that they were punished for it. Since the Liberal government has been warned and is ignoring the will of the people, it too, will be held accountable.

A THREAD:

a friend of a friend, a die hard republican and obnoxious pro-gun supporter, stated that “if the bar allowed guns, we could’ve stopped him last night” in regards to the thousand oaks shooting. im here to walk you through why that mindset is fucking STUPID:
a scenario: imagine you’re at a bar and you’re armed. you’re with your friends but because it’s a BAR you’re also surrounded by completely random people who you don’t know and vice versa (1/19)
You’re not paying incredibly close attention to every one of these people because why would you? the same goes for everyone else. (2/19)

I don’t have a son, but if I did, and he was accused of sexually assaulting someone, I would look him in the eye and ask him what he had done. And he would know from my face that lying would be the worst choice he could make.
I don’t have a brother, but if I did and he was accused of sexually assaulting someone, I would call him up and say “is it true?” And he would know from my voice that lying would mean the end of our relationship.
I do have a husband, and if anyone accused him of sexually assaulting someone I’d look at him and say “tell me what happened.” And I would know if he was lying in that moment.

DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN: Poised to work Saturday night arraignments, 5PM to 1AM, representing poor New Yorkers arrested in the last 24 hours. I’m the felony conflicts attorney and have the pleasure of working with my @BklynDefender colleagues.
I say “arrested in the last 24 hours” and people have a legal right to be brought before a judge within 24 hours of arrest, but many people wait much longer.
The reason there are excessive delays tonight is b/c there's an issue w/ fingerprinting in central booking. When I arrive the courtroom is empty, but for some @CourtWatchNYC volunteers. I say hi & tell them about the problem, b/c I don't want them to be waiting for nothing.

This is Eugen Turcanu. You've never heard of him, and it should be asked why. In communist Romania, he committed some of the worst atrocities of the communist period during what were known as the 'Pitesti Experiments'. What happened at Pitesti?
Pitesti was a prison. It no longer exists, but after Romania fell to the Soviet Union, it was the site of what Solzhenitsyn called "the most terrible act of barbarism in the contemporary world". It was to host the most sadistic campaign of brainwashing ever to grace the earth.
Inmates, many of whom were political prisoners of the prior Antonescu regime, lost any semblance of normal prison conditions. Turcanu, himself a convict, and a group of acolytes were brought to Pitesti and given authority over the other prisoners

The globalist establishment is burning up its propaganda channel (Mainstream Media) by repeatedly pushing narratives the majority of Americans disagree with such as fawning over North Korea, taking a knee, anti-cop, beheading a prez or Russia hysteria.

#Winning #CNN #MSNBC #NBC
If you are the CEO of a Mainstream Media org, you should be held accountable for the long term financial health of the company, but they aren’t. Their big shareholders don’t care about profits, they just need need to stop Trump from bringing down the House of Cards.
Likewise with the NFL, profits and long term health don’t matter... just stop Trump at all costs. Even if it means the destruction of the league.

Likewise, ESPN.

Likewise, Hollywood.

Likewise, Twitter/Facebook/Google.
