The same media that won Pulitzers and gave out awards for "excellent" reporting on false allegations President Donald Trump colluded with the Russian government to win the 2016 presidential election, isn't covering the latest revelations about the Clinton campaign's spying.
"On Monday evening, the big three broadcast networks continued their silence on the explosive report from Special Counsel John Durham’s court filing showing that Hillary Clinton’s campaign allegedly spied on then-President Donald Trump both at Trump Tower in New York and the White House," the Media Research Center reports. "While all three evening newscasts (ABC's World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News), apparently had no interest in covering the Durham court filings, they did have time to cover a private plane crash in North Carolina, and local crime stories like the murder of a thirty-five-year-old movie producer in New York City. All three also celebrated Canada cracking down on the peaceful Freedom Convoy protesters."
Meanwhile, media critics are pointing out the unsurprising lack of acknowledgement and Republican lawmakers are noting the double standard.
Much of corporate media is nothing more than the public relations arm of the country’s most dangerous Russia collusion liars. Always were, always will be. Treat 100% of their work as willful lies and if you didn’t already years ago, STOP BEING SURPRISED by their mendacity.

Media outlets should give back their Pulitzers for Russia-Trump “reporting.”

The Durham investigation has shown that the biggest threat to our democracy is not some foreign country, but rather the Power Elite led by the likes of Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators in the mainstream media & security state who work to undermine our democracy from within

If a Special Counsel discovers that a Republican infiltrated the private server of the democrat Presidential nominee & then the White House it would on the news 24/7

But since it was a Democrat who did this they ignore, deflect & downplay

President Trump is also weighing in on the blackout .
"Can you imagine that, what should be the biggest story of our time, bigger than Watergate, is getting absolutely no mention, ZERO, in the New York Times, Washington Post, ABC Fake News, NBC Fake News, CBS Fake News, ratings-dead CNN, and MSDNC," Trump released in a statement. "This in itself is a scandal, the fact that a story so big, so powerful, and so important for the future of our Nation is getting zero coverage from LameStream, is being talked about all over the world. Just like they wouldn’t talk about the many Biden corruption scandals prior to the Election, (or for that matter now!), they won’t talk about this, which is potentially even bigger."
"It shows how totally corrupt and shameless the media is. Can you imagine if the roles were reversed and the Republicans, in particular President Donald Trump, got caught illegally spying into the Office of the President? All hell would break loose and the electric chair would immediately come out of retirement. The good news is, everybody is talking about not only this atrocity against our Nation, but that the press refuses to even mention the major crime that took place," he continued.
