Commentary editor Noah Rothman simply called McSally’s words “pretty uncalled for.”
But they were called for, as Raju is one of the Hill’s most shameless and reliable mouth pieces for Democrats.
Until the Russia Collusion hoax fizzled, Raju was one of its biggest peddlers.
In December of 2017, for instance, Raju was involved in”one of the most humiliating spectacles in the history of the U.S. media,” as the Intercept’s Glenn Greenwald put it.
With a tone so grave and bombastic that it is impossible to overstate, CNN went on the air and announced a major exclusive: Donald Trump, Jr. was offered by email advanced access to the trove of DNC and Podesta emails published by WikiLeaks – meaning before those emails were made public.
***There was, alas, just one small problem with this massive, blockbuster story: it was totally and completely false. The email which Trump, Jr. received that directed him to the WikiLeaks archive was sent afterWikiLeaks published it online for the whole world to see, not before. Rather than some super secretive operative giving Trump, Jr. advanced access, as both CNN and MSNBC told the public for hours they had confirmed, it was instead just some totally pedestrian message from a random member of the public suggesting Trump, Jr. review documents the whole world was already talking about. All of the anonymous sources CNN and MSNBC cited somehow all got the date of the email wrong.
Federalist co-founder Sean Davis challenged Tapper to explain how the CNN reporter could have gotten that story so wrong without being either a liberal hack or “too stupid to read the date on the email.”
The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway called Raju “a favorite and reliable leak recipient for Democrats.”
In the hostile media environment that is the current Washington press corps, Republicans cannot expect to be given a fair shake. It’s about time Republicans stopped taking reporters like Raju seriously.
It’s unfortunate, but until the media cleans up its act and gets back to unbiased, “just the facts” news reporting, there is no reason for Republicans to give them the time of day.
