Yesterday evening, the special counsel put the lie to the BuzzFeed story that claimed that President Trump had directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress. More precisely, the BuzzFeed report claimed that the special counsel's office had gotten testimony from Cohen that he had been directed to lie by Trump and that this had been confirmed by internal documents and interviews with people from the Trump Organization gotten by Mueller's team. The BuzzFeed report set off a storm of media and Democrat screaming about impeachment. Then Mueller released a statement saying that the BuzzFeed report was wrong. Since BuzzFeed said that its report was based upon information obtained by the special counsel, the Mueller statement was an undeniable death blow to BuzzFeed and its lies.
Because the storm in the mainstream media and among the Democrats had been so loud and so strong, I thought (and wrote) that they owed the President an apology. Well, no surprise here; there is no apology, just complaints.
For example, yesterday morning on CBS News, roughly two-thirds of their 8 a.m. report was devoted to BuzzFeed and the possibility of impeachment. Today, the same 8 a.m. report didn't even mention the news that the BuzzFeed report had been blown up as untrue by the special counsel. There was only silence. In other words, CBS put out a false story yesterday at great length and today didn't bother to tell the audience that the story was, at best, wrong and, at worst, a lie.
Another example comes from the ever-anti-Trump CNN. Here's what Chris Cuomo said last night about Mueller:
“Mueller didn’t do the media any favors tonight, and he did do the president one, because as you saw with Rudy Giuliani and as I’m sure you’ll see with the president himself, this allows them to say, ‘You can’t believe it. You can’t believe what you read, you can’t believe what you hear, you can only believe us. Even the special counsel says that the media doesn’t get it right.'”
So Cuomo is busy complaining that Mueller told the world that the BuzzFeed story was untrue. How could Mueller do that? What nerve! He's helping the President.
Cuomo didn't care about reporting accurate facts rather than phony lies made up by BuzzFeed. The truth didn't matter; all that mattered was what was good for the media and what was bad for Trump. There could never be a clearer example of bias and Trump hatred at CNN. The reality is that CNN ought to dump Cuomo off the air for this.
