M.D. Kittle writes for the Federalist about another example of media malfeasance.
In the left’s quest to stop Donald Trump from winning a second presidential term in 2024, the Biden Department of Justice’s hired goon spied on members of Congress and several news outlets. You would think former “Special Counsel” Jack Smith’s myriad abuses in the political witch hunt known as Arctic Frost would be of concern to the same “journalists” screaming that the Fourth Estate is under attack by the man they love to hate.
Nope.
After Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released bombshell revelations last week about Arctic Frost’s tactics, the usual suspects in the accomplice media shrugged off the damning documents. Instead, they wrote the same fatuous story pulled from the Democratic Party’s talking points — a gotcha piece on Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt’s botched gotcha moment during last week’s Judiciary Committee hearing. …
… No doubt the Missouri Republican got his facts messed up, on timelines and basketball teams. But Schmitt was right on target when he called the partisan prosecutor a “dirtbag.”
And right on cue, corporate media carried water for the unctuous attorney, covering for Smith, with the ubiquitous Schmitt story drowning the stunning revelations from Grassley and the Judiciary Committee.
No, you can’t hate the misnamed “mainstream media” enough.
As The Federalist reported, whistleblower disclosures to Grassley show Smith “swept up communications from over a dozen national media outlets” in his sprawling “election interference” probe into President Donald Trump’s challenges of the rigged 2020 election.
Whistleblower disclosures made to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), show that former Special Counsel Jack Smith swept up communications from over a dozen national media outlets as part of the “Arctic Frost” election investigation into President Trump. The records expose Smith and friends grabbing the communications of nearly 50 journalists, including those of Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway, Grassley said. Investigators scooped up “messages exchanged with government sources.”
