Jack Hellner writes for the American Thinker about widespread journalistic malfeasance.
Here is what a simple internet search gives as the reason the founding fathers gave the media freedom of the press:
The Founding Fathers enshrined freedom of the press in the First Amendment to serve as a check on government power and provide an informed citizenry necessary for a functioning democracy [emphasis added].
In that context, here is an abbreviated sample of what the media has done, starting in 2008:
They never cared when Obama used the supposedly independent IRS to target and silence political opponents, and when people at the IRS destroyed equipment and documents, and lied to Congress—and the supposedly independent justice department let the criminals off.
They never cared when Obama instructed the Justice Department to stop an investigation into a multi-billion-dollar drug-running by foreign terrorists to appease Iran.
They never cared how often Holder, Clapper, Brennan, Mayorkas, Garland, Fauci, and others lied to Congress and weren’t charged. They were above the law as the media and other Democrats peddled the lie to the public that no one was above the law.
They didn’t care that Comey listed numerous laws that Hillary and her aides violated, but didn’t recommend prosecution, because numerous people at the FBI, including Comey himself, were campaigning for her and working hard to destroy Trump.
They didn’t care when Hillary and the DNC paid over $10 million to create a fictitious dossier to destroy Trump and then committed fraud by telling the FEC that they were legal fees.
They didn’t care when Comey and others lied to the FISA court and used the fictional dossier as an excuse to illegally spy on people surrounding Trump.
They didn’t care that Obama told the intelligence agencies to manipulate intelligence to destroy Trump after the 2020 election, and they didn’t care that the Russian collusion fraud was used as an excuse to continually target Trump.
They didn’t care when people surrounding Trump were entrapped and jailed.
