Damning testimony from Michael Cohen

[Wednesdays]

But I'm not talking about Trump, I'm talking about the media!

On November 4, 2016 (4 days before the election), the Wall Street Journal broke the story about Karen McDougal, and Stormy Daniels was also mentioned in that story.

The Trump campaign was in meltdown, as Cohen and Hicks frantically messaged each other over it, trying desperately to come up with a damage control strategy.

The media response at the time? Ho-hum. CNN didn't even bother reporting it.

1. The fix was in.

We can see it with perfect clarity in hindsight.

2. Yeah, the fix was in, by tacit agreement by the media for their "reasons".

Also, the fix was in, because they were sure no one would notice Trump's peccadillos. For decades Republicans scandals and disgraceful escapades were/are simply boys-being-boys but when Democrats, John Edwards for instance, drew outside the Sunday school mandated lines it was THE subject which the media made damn sure was on everyone's mind. I mean, it was Bill Clinton's philandering which cost Hillary the oval office and we all know it.

It's time to just say NO and hell no..........to the media's double standard for politicians, especially in the face of their elementary school playground threshold for discriminatory reporting on American progressivism.

4. You nailed it.

repukelikans lying and cheating all over the fugging cosmos
to deceive Americans -- they lie to Americans. Their own people. They lie and they cheat.

Sicko.

5. The GOP sees Americans as their enemy.

To either demonize or gaslight into mindless followers.

Americans are just collateral damage in their quest for power.

3. It was just locker room hush money, I suppose.

6. Only trying to rig an election, subvert democracy.

Nothing big.
