The DC chattering class have no idea… clueless. Perfect.

There’s a screen grab below the fold highlighting a specific moment of giggling glee for Chris Wallace. Remember, Wallace is a presidential debate moderator; however, he’s also one of the three specific figures (outlined in multi-sourced media reports) who was given instructions by Fox owner Rupert Murdoch to take down Trump.
Together with George Will, Wallace transparently plays out the Murdoch agenda. Watch George Will ridiculing any reasonable immigration position by saying Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio is the face of all things horrible against the poor and misunderstood illegal aliens. The condescension is actually quite remarkable:
You know you’re directly over the target when the insufferable U.S. media drag out ‘gang-of-eight’ Senator Jeff Flake as flack and chaffe countermeasures to Donald Trump’s immigration plan. So entirely predictable…

CNN’s Jake Tapper starts it off:
Soon-to-be presidential moderator, ABC’s Martha Raddatz, interviews Donald Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway for Good Morning America.
As a direct outcome of Donald Trump’s success in discussions with democrats core constituency, the media is in apoplectic defense mode to protect Hillary Clinton while ignoring her campaign invisibility. Enter Chuck Todd and Meet The Press:
Trump is on Fire!
His campaign is En Fuego!
The Phoenix Rally was hot, hot, HOT! Blazing!
And so is Bluto…man, I’m burning up. Two days out in the Arizona desert sun? In the Summer!? Yep, pass the Gatorade, this chill Mountain Man has been feeling the heat. So please excuse me for a moment, I need to start this piece with a little refreshing splash of something cool. I think I need a little water thrown on my face before I can continue.


Have you ever been on one of those crazy “River Rides” at an amusement park like Disneyland? So much fun! They buckle you into a large, circular raft with multiple seats. Enough seats on this raft, that you’re sure to be floating around with complete strangers, people only known to you as “that annoying guy standing ahead of me in line”. Fine. That’s Cool. Stranger Dude is also here to have fun, so let’s go together!
So here we all are, strangers & family members, riding on this big, spinning raft. Slowly going up, then crashing down into the water, again & again. Sometimes when you least expect it, just the smallest ebb of water suddenly rises up and you get totally soaked. Then at other times you’re bracing yourself as you see a roaring waterfall appear in your path, only to stop flowing the moment you arrive under it. (more…)
The Clinton News Network was discussing the latest FBI reports of Hillary Clinton’s email scheme, when apparently the truth became just too much for Brooke Baldwin to bear… “stop, just stop” she decried, moments before demanding an immediate “on-the-fly fact check”.
The result didn’t quite go the way Brooke Baldwin had programed herself to believe. Epic ‘Splodey.. WATCH:
During a visit to Detroit today candidate Donald Trump was blessed and given a prayer shawl by Bishop Wayne T. Jackson. However, as Bishop Jackson continued his remarks the operators of the Reuters news feed began speaking uncomfortably about the power of the positive optics for the Trump campaign – Via YouTube.
It appears the camera operator was initially reluctant to cut the feed saying:
“I’m shooting this, I don’t care what they say,… I’ll take a demotion for this…. you?”
Moments later you can hear the intensity of the voice off camera increasing: “Shut it down” followed by the a voice asking “shut this down?” and the response “yeah”… “blackout“. Seconds later in the middle of Bishop Jackson’s remarks the feed is cut:
Candidate Donald Trump delivered remarks this morning at Great Faith Ministries International, a historically black church in Detroit, MI. Mr. Trump was blessed and given a prayer shawl by Bishop Wayne T. Jackson:
*Updated to add some additional emphasis on the scope of so-called “conservative media”, and financial corruption.
In an extensive article within New York Magazine, mostly outlining the rather sordid details of Roger Ailes, readers may also note specific confirmation of something we outlined in August of last year (2015). Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch instructed Fox News executives to take down Donald Trump.


Excerpt:
(NY MAG) […] Murdoch was not a fan of Trump’s and especially did not like his stance on immigration. (The antipathy was mutual: “Murdoch’s been very bad to me,” Trump told me in March.) A few days before the first GOP debate on Fox in August 2015, Murdoch called Ailes at home. “This has gone on long enough,” Murdoch said, according to a person briefed on the conversation.
Murdoch told Ailes he wanted Fox’s debate moderators — Kelly, Bret Baier, and Chris Wallace — to hammer Trump on a variety of issues. Ailes, understanding the GOP electorate better than most at that point, likely thought it was a bad idea. “Donald Trump is going to be the Republican nominee,” Ailes told a colleague around this time. But he didn’t fight Murdoch on the debate directive.
On the night of August 6, in front of 24 million people, the Fox moderators peppered Trump with harder-hitting questions. But it was Kelly’s question regarding Trump’s history of crude comments about women that created a media sensation. He seemed personally wounded by her suggestion that this spoke to a temperament that might not be suited for the presidency. “I’ve been very nice to you, though I could probably maybe not be based on the way you have treated me,” he said pointedly.

This is interesting on many levels, but more importantly for a few very specific confirmational aspects.
Last year many people were struggling to understand what was going on within Fox News. Many people saw the bias; even more people grew outraged at what they were witnessing; but unfortunately many people would not (or could not) accept what was brutally obvious. (more…)
