Now that it's too late to impact the election, the vaunted pundits

[lapucelle]

and our famously free press are suddenly all over the Russian hack story..

I just heard Chris Cuomo scold both the administration and the transition team. "This isn't about politics. This is about an existential threat!" thundered the fiercely self-righteous infotainment star.

Where was CNN on this story six weeks ago when there was still a chance to stop Trump? For American "journalists", it was about all about clicks and ratings. Screw the existential threat. There was money to be made.

1. The bastards will twist and tangle the story

... in a desperate attempt to blame it on Obama. As soon as Shitler takes office, the story will vanish.

4. Oh they are doing that as we speak. Look how many threads are popping up here on DU

blaming Obama. Even Trump is blaming Obama.

[mdbl]

2. They'll realize what they have done when Trump's thought police attack them

Being a journalist will suck under a completely fascist regime.

3. They ignored us..

as did the DNC now they want us to worry. Now,everything is suppose to be Obama's fault if they won't report it..

5. Amen

6. There were a few stories about it

but, it got lost after Trump tweeted something controversial - oh yeah, and Hillary's emails.

7. He had Rep. Cummings on

acting like this was all breaking news and this was the first he had heard of it

and acting like no one had heard of the emoluments clause

[world wide wally]

8. As Moonves said, "he may not be good for America, but he is great for CBS"

Now they pretend to give a shit about America?

9. Not just the press.......

remember, the FBI was busy looking for "something else" for which to blame Hillary - perhaps in some other e-mails!!!!!

10. I heard an interview with Obama on NPR this morning.

He called out the press for focusing on nonsense about Hillary rather tan more important matters.

The interviewer responded, "Wasn't it Clinton's fault for not getting her message out?"

Hillary spent her entire campaign trying to get the press to cover her on the issues. She got her message out. Journalists chose not to cover it.

11. I watched them broadcast an HRC policy speech and immediately report that she did not discuss policy

Saw Chuck Todd rationalize them not fact checking by saying viewers should check the internet for the truth.
Seriously, they made themselves irrelevant.
