1. Memo via @JoeBiden passed out to journalists/outlets, underscores how dangerous an incestuous party/media relationship is in a Republic.

They smear @jsolomonReports as a "disgraced 'journalist'" and cite reports that do not address documented evidence.

@JoeBiden @jsolomonReports 2. Now, compare the articles cited in the Biden memo with the claims @jsolomonReports actually makes, and provides documented evidence to support.

If you really do the work comparing sources, those cited reports do not actually refute Solomon's evidence.

@JoeBiden @jsolomonReports 3. Such an incestuous relationship would allow a journalist to be smeared as "disgraced" even though nothing he reported has actually been refuted by evidence.

It allows the smearing of a former prosecutor as "corrupt" even though the actual evidence suggests the contrary.
@JoeBiden @jsolomonReports 4. The press is supposed to have an adversarial relationship with power, no matter the party.

If the vast majority of media have an incestuous relationship with one party, there's no adversary without alternative media and lies and smears will stand.

Worth noting...
@JoeBiden @jsolomonReports 5. Worth noting, the prosecutor Joe Biden praised in his remarks to the CFR, in which he bragged about the firing of Viktor Shokin, is now being called corrupt by Democrats in the impeachment case.

Which is the truth? You'd never know if there was no alternative media.
@JoeBiden @jsolomonReports 6. By the way, for all the accusations of corruption against Viktor Shokin & his replacement, the only relevant players convicted of corruption were two allies of Democrats and Marie Yovanovitch at NABU.

Despite media lies, they were convicted for meddling in the 2016 election.
@JoeBiden @jsolomonReports 7. Ukraine politics are muddled, to be sure.

But it's important to remember the Obama Admin and Marie Yovanovitch were allies of Petro Poroshenko, and backed him over the insurgent anti-corruption forces.

They only portray her as an anti-corruption champion. It's 100% BULLSHIT.
@JoeBiden @jsolomonReports 8. Another oft-repeated claim is that Yuri Lutsenko "recanted" his allegation Marie Yovanovitch delivered a "do not prosecute list".

No, he did not. He clarified there was no physical list but maintains she gave him names of Obama Admin/Biden allies off limits to prosecution.
@JoeBiden @jsolomonReports 9. So, they decided to smear Yuri Lutsenko, too.

Again, when Joe Biden bragged about withholding aid until the firing of Viktor Shokin, he praised the new prosecutor.

That's Yuri Lutsenko!

See how the story makes ZERO sense? But the incestuous media relationship covers for it.
