Judge Jackson caught Barr lying about Mueller so WHEN DO RETRACTIONS HAPPEN
2 above papers are Murdoch rags but end result is identical: AMERICAN MEDIA UNCRITICALLY TYPED UP AN OBVIOUS LIE

not to be outdone CBS News lit a jaunty roaring fire behind TFG's consigliere 1 month after he lied to America #ForReasons

#BarrCoverUp was trending at the time cuz WE TRIED TO TELL YOU DOT COM

national media types are a stubborn bunch

Peter Baker was Bill Barr's personal stenographer

WHEN ARE THE RETRACTIONS @nytimes
think about how SPECTACULARLY WRONG Peter Baker was here:

- no cloud lifted
- no powerful boost
- TWO impeachments followed
- zero attribution to Barr

like Mike Flynn's Turkey story Baker's article was PR agitprop
my post highlights

- @TerryMoran
- @ggreenwald
- @edokeefe
- @nytdavidbrooks
- @CNN & @Politico

all of whom debased craft of journalism with sweeping conclusions about a document THEY HAD NOT SEEN

ready for apologies when you are

crankyyank.com/2019/03/25/bar…
that day Barr lied is burned in my brain like a cattle brand

gobbling up spin like hungry puppies is not journalism

while on-break from boosting Newsmax Terry Moran tweeted breathing-mask disinfo

NOBODY DURING COVID WONDERED THIS
day after #BarrCoverUp Chicago Trib was WAY too declarative but *at least* printed attribution to trump's mob consigliere
Virginia @page88 brings us full-circle to 2016;

FALSELY EXONERATING POLITICIANS IS NOT A JOB OF OUR COUNTRY'S NEWS MEDIA

@page88 ALSO NOT A U.S. JOURNALISM JOB: VLADIMIR PUTIN PUBLIC RELATIONS

NYT headlines are 2.5 years apart

remind me again when Obama used OLC to protect himself?

OH RIGHT NEVER
for bonus points remind me when Obama’s legal staff conspired to protect his AG

ALSO NEVER
- Barr summarized Mueller 1 month prior to release

- lied about conclusions

- DOJ staff tried to justify Barr’s lies after the fact

- lied about *that* in court to ABJ

.@matthewamiller on @StephMillerShow called Barr-DOJ conduct "nesting doll of lies" which, sources confirm, presiding judges greatly enjoy
"most people in public office are careful liars; they lie in a way that can't be proven as a criminal act" @matthewamiller

ALL trump's MAGAs should be forced to defend those lies including SCOTUS folk

on Fruity G: "obviously he has massive legal exposure. missing puzzle piece is evidence of him getting paid by Ukrainian oligarchs" @matthewamiller @StephMillerShow

technical phrase for @PringleLATimes @AleneTchek's co-bylined piece is "bonkers on speed and crack"

THREAD

latimes.com/california/sto…
tl;dr

in March 2020 *someone* gave illegal orders to intimidate/disperse George Floyd protestors in California with weapons of war
source accurately called the order "something that would happen in Soviet Union" because trump is sniveling Russian-mob property and minions contorted themselves to support his worldview
