Half-Blind Rage: Media Picks and Chooses Stories of Collusion
If you were to take it from the liberal media, you would think that
not only was Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer unique in
terms of the 2016 election but that it was unprecedented in the annals
of American politics. A presidential campaign DARING to meet with a
representative of a foreign government? Oh, no. We need to bring back
the gallows and hang Trump Jr., Paul Manafort, and Jared Kushner for
treason against these United States!
Unfortunately, too many news junkies are beginning to buy into the hype.
And hype is all that it is, let’s be really honest here. No one’s
going to prison. How could they? No crime has been committed. This is –
and always has been and always will be – a story meant to anchor the
Trump agenda in place. And all you have to do is look at President
Trump’s latest approval numbers to see that it’s working. Americans
aren’t particularly happy with the Democratic Party these days, but
there’s no question that the Dems have managed to drag Trump down with
them. With their incessant focus on the Russia story, they have stolen
from the president the public momentum he needs to get Congress behind
him.
