Tucker: Media hates Trump with an all-consuming mania
well for five years we have watched the news media treat donald trump in a way that no american president has ever been treated richard nixon himself disgraced impeached force from office in the end got a pass by comparison to donald trump reporters hate trump with an all-consuming mania they hate him so intensely that at times it’s been amusing to watch if donald trump announced a cure for cancer at tonight’s rally in minnesota cnn would denounce him for fixing drug prices that’s true if you’re a fair-minded person it has been infuriating to watch us it’s too dishonest it’s also patronizing because it’s almost unbelievably stupid trump spied for russia trump works for putin trump’s a racist because he likes borders and doesn’t want to live in haiti yeah okay clearly all the smart kids went into finance america’s websites and tv stations got
the rest unfortunately we’ve got to live with the consequences of that but we should also say if we’re being entirely honest that as grating as all of this is unremitting hostility to the president of the united states is far from the greatest threat america faces reporters are supposed to be tough on people with power that’s why we have journalism to keep a close eye on those who have outsized influence over our lives the people we should watch carefully would include business moguls the intel agencies prominent academics cultural figures military leaders and most obviously our politicians the rest of us can’t really know what these people the people in charge are doing at all times a reporter’s job is to find out and tell us so in the end the real threat to america isn’t too many nasty questions from reporters it’s the opposite of that the real threat is collusion when journalists strike secret alliances with the very people they’re supposed to be holding accountable we
are in deep trouble lies go unchallenged democracy cannot function and that’s what we’re watching right now yesterday and this may be the starkest example of all we learned that the fbi is conducting an active investigation into joe biden’s son for business deals that apparently included his father the former vice president now that is not speculation it is confirmed former biden business partner tony babalinsky sat for a five-hour interview with six fbi agents just the other day a week ago they asked him about his business dealings in china with the biden family now we don’t know if this investigation will result in indictments obviously we know that it could and that’s significant because joe biden as you may have heard is running for president the election is on tuesday so by any possible measure this is a blockbuster stop
the press’s news story it’s not some naughty picture from somebody’s laptop this is a criminal investigation into business deals that we know for a fact joe biden was party to so why haven’t you heard more about this if you don’t watch this channel you’ve likely heard nothing at all not a word and you know why because the media are collaborating they’re collaborating with the democratic party they’re collaborating with the intelligence agencies that spy on americans with
impunity they’re collaborating with the tech monopolies that have choked off the average person’s access to legitimate information we’re not overstating any of that we wish we were watch the people you’re supposed to be able to trust dismiss a completely legitimate verified news story as quote a russian plot holding super spreader events and giving russian disinformation spreading Russian disinformation that he knows to be fabricated and supplied by a foreign intelligence service and despite the warning he’s still doing it you have said this entire thing is so obviously a russian plot it’s sort of a crazy quilt at this point uh which has all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation that said it wasn’t for lack of trying rudy basically functioning as a russian asset by pushing russian disinformation cnn reported on friday that u.s authorities are seeing if those emails we just talked about are connected to an ongoing russian
disinformation effort huh i’ve got to tell you keith it is all the hallmarks of russian disinformation these people wouldn’t know russian disinformation if it got into the shower with them they know nothing every word of what they just said was a lie russia didn’t forge these emails vladimir putin didn’t invent the two separate meetings that tony babilinski had with joe biden to discuss business in china the business the fbi is now investigating in an active criminal investigation that’s all entirely real it happened it is happening now and the people you just watched on the screen know that it did yet they’re telling you it’s all fake a concoction of a hostile foreign power so you have to ask yourself at some point why would they tell you that they know it’s not true they’re saying it anyway they’re expecting you to believe it why are they doing that
well because these people are not your allies they’re not trying to help you or inform you just the opposite these people are your enemies they’re misleading you so that you will obey and maybe it’ll work honestly maybe they will get joe biden elected president next week without even asking the most basic questions of the candidate the most basic questions or vetting him in any way that could work that’s the gambit but what then many of these people you just saw on the screen
will then go to work for biden officially we’d expect that because without donald trump to hyperventilate over the business models at many news outlets will collapse and these people will need jobs but joe biden and kamala harris can’t hire everyone at nbc some of these people have to continue to be quote journalists and the question is can they really do that can they keep pretending on your screen live every night after everything we have just witnessed
