Can someone please remind @danpfeiffer that not only did Obama give exclusive interviews to ***Bill O'Reilly*** when he was a presidential candidate, but also gave O'Reilly an exclusive Super Bowl interview in the White House, by far the single most "legitimizing" act for Fox:
Since @danpfeiffer has bizarrely forgotten: you can watch Obama's exclusive Fox News interview from 2008 with O'Reilly here (); Obama's 2011 Super Bowl interview with O'Reilly here (); and again in 2014 ().
If you're worried about "legitimizing" Fox News, what could possibly have achieved that more than giving 3 exclusive interviews - one as the Democratic presidential nominee & then two Super Bowl interviews as President *from the White House*- to Bill O'Reilly? And here's Hillary:
"Bill O'Reilly wasn't really that bad" = "George W Bush, Bill Kristol and David Frum weren't really that bad." Go look at what Democrats were saying about O'Reilly the whole time he was on television. mediamatters.org/video/2017/03/…

Noam Chomsky, this week, on Julian Assange: a good representation of how the actual left internationally has responded to the news of his indictment and attempted extradition by the US Government:
And here's Noam Chomsky on Russiagate and the fixation on Trump/Russia collusion:
Here's some more Chomsky from a couple weeks ago on what he called the "farcical" fixation on Russiagate and Trump/Russia collusion. Twitter often distorts the critical difference between establishment liberalism & leftism so Chomsky is great to listen to on all of this:

BuzzFeed & @BuzzFeedBen deserve credit. They did what a responsible media outlet does in such cases. It's the rest of the media celebrating themselves & their vindication- as though they've spent 3 years warning no evidence can establish collusion & blackmail- that's the problem:
As a reminder, even vehement anti-Trump insiders in the intelligence community were trying to war Dems as early as March, 2017, that there would be no evidence of Trump/Russia conspiracy over the election. But humans often believe what they wish were true nbcnews.com/news/us-news/c…
Even more revealing than the warnings from Morell (who endorsed Hillary) not to expect Trump/Russia conspiracy evidence, James Clapper stated definitively in March, 2017 that he never saw any such evidence either. He was Director of National Intelligence! nbcnews.com/meet-the-press…

Compare what Mueller said about how banal & benign this GOP platform change was - just a low-level aide acting alone to conform it to Trump's foreign policy - to the sinister meaning the media imposed on it, to understand how amazing it is that they're now celebrating themselves:
David Brooks, in his NYT column today, inadvertently expresses the prevailing media motto: "The Mueller report indicates that Trump was not colluding with Russia. But..."- no matter what comes after the "but," what comes before it is monumentally important given the last 3 years.
"Our investigation indicated Saddam in fact had no WMDs, but we succeeded in removing a brutal dictator." Yes, the part that comes after the "but" is true & perhaps even important, but it doesn't mitigate how earth-shattering the part before the "but" is nytimes.com/2019/04/18/opi…

During the 2016 elections, officials in the #Obama admin, including cabinet-level officials, extensively spied on the campaign of then-candidate Trump.

So far, at least 5 different ways officials spied on the Trump campaign have been uncovered. (Thread 👇)theepochtimes.com/the-five-metho…
1. National Security Letters

@FBI, at the time headed by Director @Comey and Deputy Director #McCabe, used counterintelligence tools known as #NationalSecurity letters to spy on the Trump campaign.
2. FISA Warrant

The #FBI and #DOJ obtained a #FISA spy warrant on #CarterPage, a volunteer adviser to the Trump campaign. Under the so-called “two-hop” rule, the FISA warrant could have been used to spy on anyone with two layers of separation from Page himself.

Malala said, “I am ready to tell the world that Pakistan is a safe place and teams should go there and play cricket.”

Pakistan is so safe, why don't you return to Pakistan and continue your child education campaign in Pakistan ??
+ Making such claims of Pakistan's safety, calling Kashmir as "India occupied", & making statements sitting in safe havens of Birmingham and London suggest that you speak what ISI & COAS ask you to speak.

Pakistan is safe because being shot in the brain helps get Nobel #Malala
+ And exactly how much cash was wired into her account by the muslim nations for this noble charitable act ??? Now she has has become Malamal Yousafjai (Malamal means wealthy in Hindi). Like length of skirt doesn't define a woman's character, Nobel prize doesn't #Malala
