The myth that Russia tried to turn the election in favor of Trump only survives if you close your eyes tightly and ignore what the mainstream media did, or tried to do, to help Hillary and destroy Trump. Don’t take my word for it, let’s look at what the Washington Post actually published during the week that started on 7 October, 2016, which was the day the Wikileaks dumped the first batch of Podesta emails. [NOTE–for some reason not all of the hyperlinks appear. I will work on fixing this in the coming day. I have a word document if someone wants the original. Just email me.]
Let me give you the overview statistics. During that week the Washington Post published headlines in which Hillary Clinton’s name appeared 57 times. Donald Trump, by contrast, was mentioned 194 times. On the surface it would appear that the Post was part of Trump’s publicity team. But when you look at the actual articles it is quickly apparent that the Post liked Hillary and hated Trump. In other words, there was a steady downpour of negative articles about Trump, which included calling him a racist and a sexist.

Reporting Fake News Is A Full-time Job
In the past six weeks, the Washington Post published two blockbuster stories about the Russian threat that went viral: one on how Russia is behind a massive explosion of “fake news,” the other on how it invaded the U.S. electric grid. Both articles were fundamentally false. Each now bears a humiliating editor’s note grudgingly acknowledging that the core claims of the story were fiction: The first note was posted a full two weeks later to the top of the original article; the other was buried the following day at the bottom.
The second story on the electric grid turned out to be far worse than I realized when I wrote about it on Saturday, when it became clear that there was no “penetration of the U.S. electricity grid” as the Post had claimed. In addition to the editor’s note, the Russia-hacked-our-electric-grid story now has a full-scale retraction in the form of a separate article admitting that “the incident is not linked to any Russian government effort to target or hack the utility” and there may not even have been malware at all on this laptop

Dems Gear Up For Full Court Press To Set Fake News Narrative
Key priorities for the new DNC war room will be to shine a spotlight on Trump's conflicts of interest with his business enterprises as well as on Russia's alleged interference during last year's campaign.

The above link is an interesting article featuring information that the Dems have leaked elsewhere. They have stated that they will register ongoing conflict of interest charges against President Trump, whether COI exists or not. Repeat a lie often enough and a Leftist will believe it. Hey, it's already worked with Russian "hacking."
Interesting aside. I do like to tiptoe through the MSM garden from time to time when I can bear the stench of their fertilizer. A trend I have noticed for at least a few years now is that at even the most partisan expressions from Pravda-America invite comments that are oppositional if not insulting. NYT, La Times, USA Today, it does not seem to matter. The commenters are not buying the horse shit.
The above article is a prime example of MSM resistance. The Washington Post, in conjunction with MSN (Microsoft News) brings us article linked above. One would think that with that sort of lineage, the article would attract Leftist commentators. Wrong!
The above sample captures the dominant tone of reader commentary. Times have changed. The Dems and their MSM megaphones are the only ones who don't realize it.

Donna Brazile, isn't she the one caught secretly feeding the questions to Hillary for a debate she moderated?
Yup, the democrattic party persists as the most devisive, uncooperative, dishonest, hate-baiting party in the history of the country. No news here.

What's a DNC war room? Padded walls with a diaper changing station and a gun free zone sign out front?

What, are they going to brain storm more excuses why Hillary lost and Why the middle class fired them ? LMAO Perhaps they can blame the martians this time.

"Perhaps they can blame the martians this time."
LOL, I miss the Enquirer. They were more honest than the Washington Post. I find the "Batboy" and "Martians give the president the secret to fix the economy" (two recurring Enquirer themes) more believable that what the Post prints.

I Could Not Have Said It Better Than David Penner
You are so divorced from reality, so drugged with the narcotic of identity politics, and indifferent to the sufferings of your fellow Americans, as well as the sufferings of those whose countries are destroyed by your wars of aggression, that you are simply no longer living in the reality based world; and sadly, haven’t been for a very long time.
Perhaps there is a place where American liberals fight racism, sexism, and carry out humanitarian interventions, which bring an end to genocide, persecution of minorities, and authoritarian regimes: in your mind.
