A corrupt and biased media

The only reason I keep saying it is because you & yours keep spewing misconceptions about the issue on this one.

This has close to ZERO to do w/ what the Russians can do w/ the intel. Trump allegedly gave the Russians enough information that they would be able to likely identify who the source of the intel was. This directly affects our security. It could easily cause our intel partner to suspend or even discontinue sharing information with us. So, at best, we probably lose a vital source of intelligence in the Middle East and for ISIS.

But the ramifications go beyond that, because what is the perception of the world community & our other sources of intelligence? Can they now trust the U.S. to keep a secret?

I'm still waiting to turn the news on one day and hear what the Democrats stand for in the way of moving our country forward.

Should I hold my breath?

How do you know the bolded?

It's nice that Israel gave us a mulligan. But you ignored my point about the larger ramifications.

That our IC leaks like a sieve has even greater ramifications.

Do you think congress should try and do something about it?

Scandal: Here's a story that would seem ripe for media bloodhounds to pursue. A disgruntled insider may have leaked damaging information about his employers, and was later murdered on his way home by two unidentified assailants.

Put President Trump's name somewhere in the mix and it would be the latest scandal-to-end-all-scandals, capturing wall-to-wall coverage, eliciting new calls for independent prosecutors and impeachment, and probably making Jimmy Kimmel cry again.

This is, in other words, a story full of questions that need to be answered. But outside of Fox News, the Washington Examiner and a few other outlets, it's being ignored by mainstream news outlets that are thoroughly wedded to the Russia/Trump conspiracy narrative.

The indifference being shown by them toward Rich's death speaks volumes about today's corrupt and biased press.

Everyone knows the details behind the murder of Seth Rich. And now they know the family has dismissed the allegations he was murdered because he was leaking DNC emails to Wiki Leaks.

Which, may or may not be true, because nobody knows all the facts.

But notice how quickly the media is ready to MoveOn on it. Since there's no 'blood in water' involving Trump, there's no calling for further investigation or endless theorizing and speculation. This, despite there is an actual crime and an actual victim.

They did the same thing when it came out that Flynn's name was leaked from within the IC: unlike with some theories, an actual crime was committed. Newsflash for the media and congressional democrats calling for a special prosecutor in the Russia conspiracy: before you appoint a prosecutor, you have to have an actual crime or the prosecutor is useless.

And there was one staring at you right in the face---and you did nothing.

Stepping back a bit, this is what Trump is up against. When Trump said he was going to drain the swamp, the gauntlet was thrown down.

And the critters are wall to wall.

Where's the evidence and why isn't Wikileaks corroborating a connection with Rich? Wheeler admitted he got his info from the WH organ, Faux News. This is nothing but another conspiracy theory to deflect from trump's latest awful blunder. The investigation into Rich's death is still ongoing.

Story on DNC staffer's murder dominated conservative media -- hours later it fell apart

"For months, right-wing media outlets have floated unproven theories that Rich was the person who provided Wikileaks thousands of internal DNC emails, and that his death might have been connected with the supposed leak. No real evidence has been provided to support such claims and Washington's Metropolitan Police Department, which continues to investigate the murder, says there is evidence to suggest he may have been the victim of a botched robbery. Nevertheless, a handful of right-wing media outlets have latched on to the theory...

"NOT RUSSIA, BUT AN INSIDE JOB?" asked Breitbart, the far-right website previously led by White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, which said that "if proven, the report has the potential to be one of the biggest cover-ups in American political history, dispelling the widespread claim that the Russians were behind hacks on the DNC."

"DEAD DNC STAFFER 'HAD CONTACT' WITH WIKILEAKS," declared the headline of the Drudge Report, the highly-trafficked conservative news destination.

Fox News on Tuesday morning joined in the chorus, publishing a lead story on its website about the "DC MURDER MYSTERY." The story said Wheeler had made the claim Wikileaks had been in contact with Rich. It added that a federal investigator, who it said had spoken on the condition of anonymity, corroborated it.

But Tuesday afternoon, Wheeler told CNN he had no evidence to suggest Rich had contacted Wikileaks before his death. Wheeler instead said he only learned about the possible existence of such evidence through the reporter he spoke to for the FoxNews.com story. He explained that the comments he made to WTTG-TV were intended to simply preview Fox News' Tuesday story. The WTTG-TV news director did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

"I only got that [information] from the reporter at Fox News," Wheeler told CNN.
