Someone says something crazy without an iota of proof on Fox News. An Uncritical story is written about that allegation as news in some right wing rag. And drudge takes that article and plasters it on its front page for all the derp to assimilate. And once it's on Drudge, rinse repeat.


Article:
Lewandowski: Obama Bugged Senator Sessions While He Was STILL SENATOR Last Year (VIDEO)
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...nator-sessions-still-senator-last-year-video/

Drudge Headline:
OBAMA BUGGED ME!
SESSIONS MONITORED IN SENATE?

Versus the left-wing media which hasn't been able to find anything substantial yet on Russia, while spending 80% of their time convincing you there is something deeply sinister going on?

So in other words reporting that the National Security Adviser lied to the FBI, leading to his resignation, and then reporting the Attorney General lied to congress and is now forced to recuse himself from any Russia related investigations is nothing substantial? And hey, he may yet resign too.

Wow. The bubble is truly amazing. If this were Obama you would be going berserk.

It doesn't have to be true. It just needs to survive the weekend.

Drop a load of crap at the start of the weekend to let the talking points sink in. Weekdays are tough since people are less likely to let their inner retard out at the work water cooler.They also more likely to exposed to news\info that contradicts the BS Trump drops during the week. During the weekend tards are more likely to spend time socializing and consuming media among their peers and non traditional news formats.

By Monday...everything is seeded. Social media will keep the load of shit moving.
When outlets report it as ""load of BS", Trump tards will complain about "conspiracy" and fake news.


Look at recent events.
Trump drops a load of BS for his tards to feed off of.
After it spreads a bit..
"Reports concerning potentially politically motivated investigations immediately ahead of the 2016 election are very troubling," White House press secretary Sean Spicer said in the statement, which he also posted on Twitter. "President Donald J. Trump is requesting that as part of their investigation into Russian activity, the congressional intelligence committees exercise their oversight authority to determine whether executive branch investigative powers were abused in 2016.
"Neither the White House nor the President will comment further until such oversight is conducted," Spicer added. He did not provide any further details on the President's request to Congress.


"You make up something and then you have the press write about it, and then you say, 'everybody's writing about this charge,'"

You're so far in your own little bubble you haven't a clue how to identify someone who is outside. You're not able to separate reality out from the political games the parties and the media play. The only thing that has come out of Flynn & Sessions situations so far is they are not the most talented people at keeping documentation. Obviously you want people very good with documentation in these positions. What of substance have you seen in the 4 months of non-stop left-wing media coverage? All there is in the left-wing media is the open question of whether Russia was able to change the election results, fueled solely by political theater.

Continue dragging the prestige of elite status down a few pegs, that's all you've ever been good at doing.

Yeah, lying to the FBI and perjury before congress are just bookkeeping errors. I'm sure you felt exactly the same way about Clinton despite her not perjuring herself.

Funny that you think the quality of my posts is so poor and that I am somehow denigrating the 'elite' moniker. If I'm so bad and you are presumably better, why aren't you elite?

Again, I don't care about this status in the slightest. It's just funny that you do so much.

The way it really works is rich guys behind the scenes fund various public persons to try and influence the national conversation for them. They present themselves from so and so nonprofit advocacy group, but really they are effectively sockpuppets for the rich benefactors. Milo Yiannapulis was basically this.

Corporations are people, money is free speech. Billionaires are now directly running country. It's not behind the scenes anymore.

FOX: Git yer hate and fear news right here folks! Get the latest breaking unsubstantiated rumors and allegations about how ex-president Obama is attacking our Dear Leader Trump with illegal phone taps and other assorted bugs that is said to have been cleverly embedded throughout his home, his office and the GOP Headquarters .

Learn how Sessions is being unfairly criticized for his actually lying under oath at his confirmation hearing and how he was deceptively coerced into recusing himself from investigating himself. See how his excuses expertly sidestep the fact the he lied under oath, but only being necessitated after the fact that he was caught doing the dirty deeds he never mentioned when he was questioned about it, which of course was a simple lapse of memory an/or a misunderstanding on his part. Observe how Sessions bravely splits hairs and digs deep into the minutiae of the incident to defend himself even better than Bill Clinton ever could.

What a man. What a true patriot he is. What a stellar role model he is for our children and the beloved children of Russia to emulate.

It's called the puke funnel.

It worked very well back in the 1990s.

He probably was bugged. How irresponsible would it have been not to?

When discussing right wing media, the word "news" should not be used, since news tends to be based in actual "facts" rather than imagined "alternative" facts. (Hey imagination-land is cool and all, but imaginary things really should not be the backbone of so called news)

I saw that slimly little F'kr Levin on Fox. He was literally shaking as he laid out the points and dates of when this wire tapping supposedly occurred. Hell, if Trump has the evidence, then have at it. Just points out that he was being investigated due to the suspicions of the intelligence community. And they requested FISA wire taps. This guy is working backwards if you ask me. Should of kept his mouth shut. Now we know they were investigating him.

It's Trump himself telling us that something sinister is going on. The 'left wing' media is just reporting what Trump tweets.
