When 17 intel agencies said in 2016 that Russia was trying to meddle in the 2016 election, there were many skeptics, especially 74-year-old President Donald Trump. Trump wondered how the intel agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency [CIA] and the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency [DIA] got things so wrong about Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction? U.S. taxpayers are still paying for former President George W. Bush’s major miscalculation, costing the U.S. Treasury some $5 trillion since March 20, 2003. Whatever problems Trump had with intel agencies then, he’s got a lot more for implicating him in Russian collusion, knowing that intel agencies are used politically. When the Internet newspaper HuffPost said today the “real journalism” was needed more now than ever, the U.S. entered into a new Orwellian stage of domestic disinformation.
U.S. intel agencies don’t take into account domestic propaganda coming from places like the anti-Trump HuffPost and more traditional papers like the New York Times and Washington Post. New reports by intel agencies raise question about more Russian meddling or possible Chinese intrusion into the 2020 presidential election. Judging by recent report about Trump ignoring alleged Russian bounties on U.S. troops in Afghanistan or, more recently, alleged but unconfirmed statements that Trump disparaged U.S. war dead in France, it looks a lot like domestic disinformation disseminated by certain anti-Trump publications to help 77-year-old former Vice President and Democrat nominee Joe Biden get elected. There’s few in broadcast or print media endorsing 74-year-old President Donald Trump, attesting to the nearly 100% bias against the president.
Trump’s niece, 55-year-old Mary L. Trump, for instance, has been promoted in the mainstream media for her tell-all book,” Too Much is Never Enough,” her fictional tale about her Uncle Donald, that made off with the lion’s share of Fred Trump’s family fortune. Mary was essentially out of the estate because her farther Fred Trump Jr. died Sept., 26, 1981. When Fred Trump Sr. died June 25, 1999, Mary’s been on the warpath. Surely, no one, other that the most biased anti-Trump journalists, believes that there’s any truth to Mary’s book. Watching Mary make up her story somehow is exempted from propaganda. When Trump former personal 55-year-old Atty. Michael Cohen turned against his former boss, he’s become the darling of the anti-Trump press, showing they’d take anyone who speaks disparagingly about Trump as worth of quotations in broadcast and print media outlets.
Surely, no one can take Mary L. Trump or Michael Cohen seriously. When it came to convicted felon former Atty. Michael Avenatti, he routinely appeared as an anti-Trump pundit on CNN, MSNBC and other anti-Trump networks. Once convicted of trying to extort Nike Inc., Avenatti became radioactive. Take the case of 56-year-old Anthony Scaramucci who served as White House Communication Director for six weeks, June 21, 2017 to July 31, he’s been on the warpath since getting fired. Scaramucci’s a favorite of the mainstream media, often appearing on anti-Trump TV and radio shows whenever he gets the chance. Surely, no one really thinks that Scaracucci has any credibility. Yet the same new programs that disseminate Democrat talking points make use of Trump’s enemies anywhere they can find them. Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-Ut.) become a go-to GOP attack dog for Trump.
Romney’s a welcomed guest on any anti-Trump TV and radio show that will hear from him. Mitt’s vendetta with Trump harks back to his bitter loss to former President Barack Obama in 2012. Trump said Mitt “choked like a dog,” creating an enemy for life. Yet to Democrats and their friends in the press Mitt oozes credibility. Now heroic Capt. “Sully” Sullenberger, famous for landing his U.S. Airways jetliner on the Hudson River Jan 15, 2019, denounced Trump for an anonymously sourced article claiming Trump called U.S. WW I war dead “suckers” and “losers.” Sullenberger doesn’t know the veracity of the Atlantic story but is quick to condemn the president. Tossing caution to the wind, Biden gladly denounced Trump, in what most people know are politics as usual. Today’s line between politics and journalism has been hopelessly blurred, with political parties controlling the press.
Showing the way the U.S. media twist the fact to advance political agenda, the Hill reported that Fox New reported Jennifer Griffin corroborated sources that told her that Trump made defamatory statements about WW I war dead. Then, to show how biasd the Hill, they reported that Griffin said Trump “hated John McCain (R-Az.),” complaining that Trump didn’t want flags lowered to half-staff to honor the late senator’s service to the country. Griffin said the “Trump hated McCain,” but didn’t say that McCain gave former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s paid opposition research AKA “the Steele Dossier” to former FBI Director James Comey to start the Russian hoax investigation. No, Griffin or the Hill wouldn’t mention that because they’re committed to anti-Trump propaganda. Whatever propaganda comes out of Russia or China, it pales in comparison to what comes out of the United States.
