Our Journalists Are Not As Bad As In 'Richard Jewell' – They're Much Worse – The Daily Wire, Dailywire.com

Clint Eastwood’s new movie “Richard Jewell”tells the true story of a heroic security guardwrongly accused of a 1996 bombing by the FBI and wrongly convicted byan out-of-controlnews media.

When left-wing critics previewed the movie, they were appalled.

“Richard Richard” is the Movie America Doesn’t Need Right Now, ”was the headline on the review by Will Bunch in the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Bunch wrote:“At some point during those two hours in the dark – maybe theattack on the FBIas a rogue outfit using trickery to frame innocent people, or the depiction of journalists as amoral enemies of the people, or the swelling agitprop of applause lines about common folks under attack‘

from our two most powerful forces – the United States government and th e media‘– that I’d began to wonder if I’d made a wrong turn.Was I really in a Philadelphia multiplex, or had I wound up at President Trump’s lie-larded Hershey rally taking place at exactly the same time?”

Likewise, left-wing outlet The Daily Beast said Eastwood’s movie “channels Trump talking points. ”

But here’s my question. Since Trump is never mentioned in the movie, and since the movie only dramatizes a completely true story, what made these critics think of Donald Trump when they saw a man being unfairly abused by the FBI and the press? What on earth, pray tell,brought President the Donald into theirsqueaky cleanminds?

Of course, we know the answer. As much as they deny it, distort it, and lie about it, the Department of Justice Inspector General Report on theFBI’s investigation into Trump’s non-existent collusion with Russia absolutely destroys the work and credibility ofObama’sFBI leadershipand the news mediathat reported on it.It’sthe “Richard Jewell” story on steroids , and if thepress did not know it, they wouldn’t protest so much.

Despite what

virtuallyeveryleft-wingcommentator has said, theIGreport is not a “Rorschach Test “That can be read two ways. It crucifiesJamesComey’s FBI –and not like Jesus was crucified, but like the thieves beside him who were “condemned justly.”The fedslied. Theycheated. Theywronglyspied on Americans. Theywrongly spiedon an oppositionpresidential campaign.And while IG Michael Horowitz makes plain it wasn’t his job to question their motives in doing so – and while he allows they had the “quantum” of justification required toopen the investigation–he specifically comments on the low standards of that requirement, and then goes on to outline behavior so bad, hehimselfwon’t try to explain)the reasons behind it.

And in showing the FBI misused its mighty power, the report alsounderscores thedreadful, immoral, and dishonest behavior of the news media. The two and a half years of breathlessRussia collusionreporting based on anonymous leaks fromspies trying to cover their butts was, like the reporting on Richard Jewell, an unforgiveable disserviceto the American people.No wonder “journalists”don’t want toseeEastwood’s movie.They areso steeped in ideologicalcorruption,they can’t stand the sight of themselves.

Put Donald Trump aside for a moment, if that’s possible. Consideronlythis. George Stephanopoulos worked for Bill Clintonduring the 1996 election. Part of his job wassilencingand discreditingwomen whoaccused Clinton ofrape andsexualabuse. You can see him in action in the documentary “War Room.” Stephanopoulos is now the chief newsman at ABC News. A whistleblower recently released video showing that ABC News spiked thestory about Clinton friend and child rapistJeffrey Epsteinduring Hillary Clinton’s campaign. When the video went public through Project Veritas, ABC started a hunt – not for theevildoer who spiked the story – but for the whistleblower! CBS helped ABC by firing a woman they wrongly thought guilty. And, of course, over at NBC, they did everything they could to kill the investigation into Clinton supporter and accused rapist Harvey Weinstein.

Our journalists cover up for probable rapists in order to protectpowerful Democrats. Let me repeat that: our mainstream journalists cover up for probablerapists in order to protectpowerful(Democrats– and then they cover up the cover up.

That’s who they are. That’s what they do.

If Iwerethey, I couldn’t look in the mirror either.
