“The Federalist” editor-in-chief Mollie Hemingway debates FNC’s “MediaBuzz” host Howard Kurtz about the media’s complicity in Russiagate:

MOLLIE HEMINGWAY: This is a global power that you don’t want to have lies being told about, and our media were engaged in nothing but lies on that topic for years. They won Pulitzers for telling lies about the Russia collusion hoax. And now that we have all this news coming out about what really happened, and that they were lies-knowing lies-people within the government were trying to stop these lies from being pushed out into the public square. Now the media aren’t really covering it at all, even though it’s the most massive story. HOWARD KURTZ: I would just point out that I have absolutely no doubt that the Obama administration politicized this. But there was a special counsel in the first term-John Durham-who ended up not bringing any charges against Obama, John Brennan, and these other people. MOLLIE HEMINGWAY: But your viewers should know that there have been so many documents in the last couple of weeks- HOWARD KURTZ: But Durham had those documents and didn’t bring charges. MOLLIE HEMINGWAY: No, he did not investigate it as well as should have been done. And there are so many more things that have come out, particularly from John Brennan and James Clapper, new documents showing-and I’ve broken some stories about this at The Federalist-people within these agencies were actually screaming from the rooftops, You can’t make these false claims! and they had their jobs threatened or they were told there was secret intelligence they weren’t told about. This is really horrific stuff and major news. And it’s why the media aren’t trusted-because they’re willing to lie about things like this. And when the truth comes out, they don’t cover it at all.
