Why is the media accepting Flynn's story? Who knew what and what did they know?

[joshcryer]

We need a thorough investigation as to who knew about what Flynn said to Russia and what they knew. We need subpoenas, a third party prosecutor, whole nine yards. If we can get all up in arms about a private email server used for purely bureaucratic business (look at the contents of the emails, they're available for all to see), then how can we not look into literal treason?

Why the fucking double standard here?

When is someone going to tell the media to ask the right questions?

1. Who is "the media" you're claiming is "accepting" Flynn's story?

3. Look at Matt Lauer's comments here:

He doesn't even bring up the possibility that other people knew Flynn was making those statements.

2. Turn on your TV

4. K, maybe I jumped the gun then.

A special prosecutor is required at the bare minimum here.

5. After Joe Scarborough

Gets done for the 5th time this morning - is claiming that Pence was given a lie. Not - Pence was in on the lie.

6. There's blood in the water and nothing will stop it this story now.

Remember, we're only a few hours into this debacle and the momentum is just getting started. TThe morning news crews are still doing background work and sussing out the trail of likely suspects. Every news agency is out there competing for inside sources and sniffing around for the big scoop, eager to report the latest breaking news as Trump's Russian fiasco is dragged into the light and the treasonous details are revealed.

7. Other than Faux and Breitbart, who?

I see no media accepting this story except the far right propagandists.
