I’m regularly asked why the mainstream media gets away with so consistently and blatantly lying to the American people. In part, it is because there are so few watchdogs on the media, with Media Research Center being one of the few exceptions. And there are virtually zero sources keeping tabs on LOCAL media!
But the real national media scandal is not what they lie about, it’s what they hide by burying and refusing to cover significant stories that don’t fit there partisan agenda.
On June 18 the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing into whether former President Joe Biden was actually in charge — given his obvious mental decline.
A focal point of the investigation was evidence that the autopen was being used for executive orders and pardons without Biden’s actual knowledge or approval.
All four major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS) ignored it. ALL FOUR!!
According to the Media Research Center there wasn’t any reporting of the topic until a July 13 New York Times story prompted a brief 34-second mention by NBC.
MRC points out that in a month of coverage, OR MORE ACCURATELY LACK OF COVERAGE,(June 18-July 18) ABC, CBS, and PBS have YET to devote a single second to the Biden autopen scandal on their evening, morning or Sunday roundtable shows.
In the New York Times article Biden ADMITTED he didn’t sign on to every person who received a pardon. The New York Times also reported there are emails that show then-White House chief of staff Jeff Zients, NOT BIDEN, approved use of the autopen.
The New York Times reported:
“Mr. Biden said in Thursday’s interview that he had his staff use an autopen for the warrants because he had granted clemency to so many people; the autopen was used, in all, on 25 pardon and commutation warrants from last December to January…Mr. Biden did not individually approve each name for the categorical pardons that applied to large numbers of people, he and aides confirmed. Rather, after extensive discussion of different possible criteria, he signed off on the standards he wanted to be used to determine which convicts would qualify for a reduction in sentence.”
Huge story with minuscule coverage and zero follow-up from other outlets. Where is the Watergate-style race by other media outlets and ambitious reporters to advance the story and put their own focus on the hunt for more information and details?
But it gets worse. On Friday, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard revealed overwhelming evidence that demonstrates how, after President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members conspired, manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump. The information is documented. It is detailed. It is irrefutable. And completely ignored by the national media.
It is inexplicable why the Trump administration released such bombshell documents on a Friday, which is typically reserved for the “document dump” of information an administration is tying to hide. But the treasonous information is out there even if the mainstream media looks the other way! And more detailed evidence is being released this week.
But don’t expect to see any coverage from the mainstream political hacks who see their sole journalistic obligation to advancing their partisan agenda rather than fairly and accurately informing the public. A Democratic Republic depends upon an informed and engaged population in order to thrive and survive. The Left counts on an uninformed public leading to a pliable electorate or one that stays home on Election Day… both of which lead to their electoral success. And their lackeys in the media are totally complicit! And unrepentant!
