Thomas Lifson: MSM eagerly collaborating with Schiff-created memo redaction fake controversy
"We are in the midst of a classic example of collaboration between Democrats and the mainstream media. The operation is aimed at directing public attention away from the serious and historic Obama administration abuses uncovered by Chairman Nunes: nothing short of spying on a rival presidential campaign using the NSA’s universal surveillance of electronic communications. The mechanism is the manufacturing a fake controversy enabling readers and viewers to discount the evidence." . . .
"The Left’s mindless references to Trump = Hitler are getting to me"
"No matter what the news says, Proggies so reflexively equate Trump to Hitler, I suspect that in a decade or so, we’ll have an entirely new form of greeting."
A press unworthy of covering this Watergate on Steroids . . . "The story of the Obama administration spying on the Trump campaign on behalf of Hillary has been the two-ton pig flatulating in the press room for more than a year. I detailed that yesterday in "Media knew dossier was Fake News a year ago."
"The Obama administration was by far the most corrupt presidency in the nation's history.
"The cowardice of the press played a vital role in enabling Democrats to use Obama to run roughshod of the Constitution and federal law. The Fake News media's silence was complicity." . . .
Our Radicalized Media: A Clear And Present Danger . . . "I'd say an attempt to usurp our president, to take control of our government in a bloodless coup, constitutes a "substantive evil that Congress has a right to prevent."

"I have to tell you that the Washington Post is very, very popular among that crowd. Reading the Post articles my friends highlight, though, is kind of sad. Mistakes, raw emotions, un-sourced hearsay upon hearsay, and hysterical hatred power so many of the articles my friends share.
"These same articles also tell me that the Post got its new motto just a little bit wrong. Instead of “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” the Post’s motto should be “Creating the Darkness in Which Democracy Dies.' ”. . .
Democrats feed their media machine . . . "But the mission of today's press is to deflect any news that may look favorable to President Trump, which is where the Democratic Party comes into play." . . .

"Yet we continue to treat this sedition as protected speech – a dangerous abdication. If we attribute benign motives to the subversive media while we allow them to serve as a firewall to America's domestic enemies, as a propaganda arm of the state, we may, in the end, surrender our republic.
"Liberty demands a free press; it's the foundation of our republic, our gatekeeper to democracy. But this is not a free press. It's an enemy combatant attacking the American people in plain sight.
"Ronald Reagan once said, "Don't be afraid to see what you see."
"What do we see?
"We see media drunk on power that tell us a man is a woman, that a baby is just a suspicious growth, a threat to the mother's health that must be removed. We see media that defend radicals who disrespect our flag, that justify trashing America. We see anti-American, globalist media that promote all other countries over our own.
"We see media as co-conspirators working with the very traitors they're tasked to expose, a press that publishes fake news and outright lies, that withholds the real news that would indict its comrades.
"We see an American Pravda, . . ."
