The Media Stopped Reporting The Russia Collusion Story Because They Helped Create It (https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3632308/posts)​

The press has played an active role in the Trump-Russia collusion story since its inception. It helped birth it.

By Lee Smith
Feburary 15,2018

Half the country wants to know why the press won’t cover the growing scandal now implicating the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice, and threatening to reach the State Department, Central Intelligence Agency, and perhaps even the Obama White House.
~snip~
If the press did its job and reported the facts, the argument goes, then it wouldn’t just be Republicans and Trump supporters demanding accountability and justice. Americans across the political spectrum would understand the nature and extent of the abuses and crimes touching not just on one political party and its presidential candidate but the rights of every American.

This Isn’t the 27-Year-Olds’ Fault
I’ve argued over the last year that the phony collusion narrative is a symptom of the structural problems with the press. The rise of the Internet, then social media, and gross corporate mismanagement damaged traditional media institutions. As newspapers and magazines around the country went bankrupt when ownership couldn’t figure out how to make money off the new digital advertising model, an entire generation of journalistic experience, expertise, and ethics was lost. It was replaced, as one Obama White House official famously explained, by 27-year-olds who “literally know nothing.”
But the first vehicles of the Russiagate campaign were not bloggers or recent J-school grads lacking wisdom or guidance to wave off a piece of patent nonsense. They were journalists at the top of their profession—editors-in-chief, columnists, specialists in precisely the subjects that the dossier alleges to treat: foreign policy and national security. They didn’t get fooled. They volunteered their reputations to perpetrate a hoax on the American public.
That’s why, after a year of thousands of furious allegations, all of which concerning Trump are unsubstantiated, the press will not report the real scandal, in which it plays a leading role. When the reckoning comes, Russiagate is likely to be seen not as a symptom of the collapse of the American press, but as one of the causes for it.

The Op-Ed by Lee Smith is long but reveals the truth that people are seeing and reading each day.
It's common in failing institutions and even societies that they often just double-down on their historical thinking and practices. American MSM has steadily become more Leftist and ideological. In fact, as the water in their pond evaporates, their stagnant pollution becomes more concentrated.
We have seen through the years that this is due in large part to the infiltration and radical shift to Marxist Leftist teachings in schools from kindergarten and to the highest degrees possible. In other words, the majority are Marxist thinkers themselves. Very few percentage wise come out as conservative thinkers.
"The press stopped covering the Russian story". When their handlers in the Democrat Party stopped feeding them “leaks”, (garnered from traitors in ‘intelligence services’) and from ‘paid for’ informants (derived from sleazy detectives and other 'opposition research groups). Because the Russian story was beginning to backfire on Democrats and the previous administration. Especially Barack Hussein Obama II, aka Barry Soetero.

Oh, and we know that during the Peeps time in Office. Over 200 of them were emailing each other on tapping down negative news about the peep.

I am not sure how much I trust the sources, but am not surprise at the accusations. Since the records are sealed, we probably won’t get details on this one, but it will be obvious if people start getting indicted over it.

I really think that we are going to find out that many in the “media” have been involved in purposely misleading the public. Criminally? I don’t know. I do know that if it happens we will hear screams of free speech and freedom of the press. But how can anyone defend the media as the 5th estate if they are openly rooting for one team or the other? That goes for both teams. That’s not why they were given protections.

The problem comes with the Lame Stream not being objective anymore. Openly colluding with the Demos. They get no more protection and any they had was from government. Not from We the People.

Despite the records being sealed....didn't stop partial leaks from taking place. Gateway Pundit didn't break the story on all those that were emailing each other under the Peeps reign anyways. MediaBias and Newsbusters jumped on that.

The MSM is trying very hard to smoother their failed attempt to destroy Trump. It's like a bad parent trying to smoother their infant with a pillow in it's crib.
