It used to be that Big Media would simply ignore events prejudicial to the narrative they were pushing. Now under criticism they will report them only on the rarely read back pages of their newspaper or leaving them off their TV news and bury them on their Internet pages. No one can then point out they ignored the story.
The FISA Court’s stinging, stunning rebuke of the FBI application to spy on Carter Page was huge news, as it undercut the Democrat and media narrative that the FBI and the intelligence community were pristinely pure. Criticism was only from knuckle-dragging Republicans. So Big Media ignored this story: click here for details. And sure enough they later added minor stories to their websites.
Let’s now look at NBC, well known for editing George Zimmerman’s 911 call to make the ‘white Hispanic’ appear to be a racist murderer. Saturday December 14th NBC Nightly News aired a story about how dangerous to elections fake or edited videos can be. Click here to watch the broadcast; the story starts about 15 minutes in.
This may appear innocuous and good reporting. But look at the examples chosen to illustrate how to fake a video. First we see President Nixon announcing his resignation on TV, followed by an edited version with a journalist’s head on Nixon’s body in which ‘Nixon’ announced he was not resigning. Then there was an edited video of Obama uttering “I would never say these things.”
Devious third-grade level minds like mine see the 2020 election message immediately. Republican man bad. Democrat man good. Orange Republican man too need resign. If the examples had been balanced, we would have seen Clinton brag he did have sex with that woman.
It so happens that after arduous review the Inspector General determined there was no political bias in this NBC story, since there was no documentary or testimonial evidence proving bias. Those who see a pattern of bias need to grow up and accept that a better explanation is that there can no explanation for these patterns of bias. These random events just happen out of the blue. Russian and Soviet disinformation specialists know that it is far easier to deceive when the lie has a wrapper of truth. They and James Comey are nodding in approval of the IG finding.
