Get Ready: MSM Will Be Pulling Out All The Stops To Save Trump After Flynn Resignation

They got him elected, and I will bet even money that they sat on a whole bunch of incriminating evidence about Trump being controlled by the Russians.

Harry Reid and others gave the press, the FBI and others the big opening to bring down Trump before the election. They sat on their hands. They did nothing. Rather, they demonized Hillary. They have shown no interest whatsover in pursuing the Russians rigging the election. No interest in looking into real vote fraud. No interest in anything outside of trying to normalize the madman.

We, the citizens of this country, need to stay in the streets, keep up the protests, push back and fight back at every level, if for no other reason than the fact that the majority of Americans hate Trump and want him out of office ASAP.

I don't think so. The New York Times, the Washington Post, and Newsweek have also been busting on SCROTUS lately.

FNC, meanwhile, is repeating Hannity's show on "The Immigration Crisis."

Let's hear something about how Trump is obviously the person who directed Flynn.

Why would Flynn be motivated to act on his own? I call bs

If this scandal keeps growing, and it will, the press is licking their chops and salivating over the prospect of taking Trump down because that story will sell. There's no loyalty about it, no one cares about Trump, only his ability to churn out top ratings which drives up ad revenues. This is strictly business and the bottom line profitability of the news.

The media has turned on Trump as of at least 3 weeks ago. They made the calculation that what Trump is doing is so outrageous, they have to address it. Of course, they also realized that Trump was trying to deligitimate them. The constant barrage of insults towards the media coming from the white house got them to change the way they deal with it. Besides, this is generating even more ratings than if they were going along with him. Both CNN and MSNBC are reporting record ratings.

Reputations are going to be made and awards are going to be given.

This is what reporters live for.

More importantly this administration has leaks all over the place from obvious dissatisfied careerists.

The Nixon administration didn't leak much, but SCROTUS' outfit leaks like a soaker hose.

That's all it is. Its not any coverup, or favoritism, its the smell of blood (ratings). The world is way simpler than you think it is.
