By Florida Bill If you tune into the Sunday morning news shows, there is a common thread running from moderator to moderator. It's the continued fantasy, which has been totally debunked, that President Trump is a Russian pawn who operates with the blessings of Vladimir Putin, who is supporting him in his re-election bid.
The conduct of the "Sunday Four" is sad and pathetic as these moderators assert the Democratic party talking points which guide their agendas. Are they competing in who can say the most to denigrate President Trump? Bosses in the DNC appreciate their loyalty, as do the six unimpressive candidates seeking to become the nation's 46th President. Truth and fairness do not seem to matter in any way to avowed "never Trumpers."
. The ranking "Sunday Four" as I see them, are NBC's "Meet the Press" with Chuck Todd; CBS's "Face the Nation" with Margaret Brennan; ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos and Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace. In past years, Democrat or Republican guests were treated with respect, and the goal was truth; and citizens appreciated it. But this is a new day, where partisan policies rule these "journalists."
Really, it is all kind of irrational since special prosecutor Robert Mueller determined at the end of his $32 million dollar investigation that President Trump did not "collude" or conspire in any way with Russians in his 2016 campaign. Mueller acknowledged that Russia, and other nations, have been attempting to insert their influence in American elections for years, and the USA is mindful of this and is doing its best to make the Kremlin go away. But then honesty and reality do not fit into the Democrat agenda which looks only to blame President Trump for fabricated wrongdoing.
On the Sunday news shows, I kind of skip about and record and watch as I listen to their Q and A sessions of guests put on the hot seat. In bygone days, these moderators were classy journalists who asked tough, objective questions.
On a recent Sunday, the aggressive four were onto more nonsense about Russians and their alleged hand holding with President Trump who supposedly will always do their bidding, national security be damned.
NBC's Chuck Todd, with his new full beard, similar to one worn by his wise and Trump hating idol, Wolf Blitzer, questioned the respected National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien and demanded to know what he knew about how the Russians are supporting the President in his bid for reelection. And the President has been told that Russia is helping him in his campaign.
O'Brien told Todd that you have "bad information." "I have seen no evidence whatsoever that the Russians are helping President Trump." Relentless, Todd kept demanding and demanding that O'Brien admit it all, but O'Brien remained poised explaining common sense should tell you that the Russians don't like Trump since he has been so hard on them. He pointed out that Trump has been a friend to Ukraine, Russia's enemy, providing them with financial aid and military weapons; and in America he has restored its military to its position as the most powerful fighting force on the planet; and has maintained sanctions against Russia.
After Todd, I skipped over to 39-year-old Margaret Brennan, the distaff dope from CBS, and she too had O'brien as her guest and she too peppered him with questions demanding that he acknowledge that the President has been told that Russians favor him and are helping him. She would not back off despite the NSA chief's denial of her assertions, and she then announced that she and CBS "stand by" the report that the Russians are helping President Trump and that the President has been told that Russia favors him--even though he has denied that he has ever been told that.
Brennan's focus on the Russians reminded me of her dedication to Democrats in a past session. A few weeks ago, John Kerry, Obama's Secretary of State guested on "Face the Nation," and claimed that President Trump had told a lie in negative comments he made about the Iranian nuclear deal from which he has withdrawn the USA. "Margaret," said Kerry, "you know that the president was telling a lie" and you are an "expert" on the Iran deal and its relationship with the USA. Brennan was pleased at being called an "expert," by such a distinguished liberal as Kerry. She exhibited a wry and confident smile when called an "expert, and she clearly appreciated the flattery--like a bashful child given an unexpected cookie. Kerry can certainly look forward to future guest appearances on Brennan's show.
And then came George Stephanopoulos, ABC's liaison with Democrats, and with the NYT, and he too opined on how the President was being helped by the Russians. NSA's O'Brien made that show too and he told George that he had seen "no evidence" of the Russians favoring Trump--and that Trump did not "fire" the Director of Intelligence because of revelations by someone that Trump was told that Russians were helping him. "Don't you have a responsibility as NSA chief to find out" what is going on?" Stephanopoulos demanded--but O'Brien refused to acknowledge any truth in George's declarations.
Stephanopoulos has been carrying water for both Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Democrats for about 30 years. He has benefited from their influence and now earns some $20-30 million each year. He has shown his gratitude with donations to the Clinton Foundation (he tried to keep his largess secret) and through his soft ball interviews with the former president and Mrs. Clinton through the years.
The final voice of the "Sunday Four," is the deep baritone and mushy voiced 72-year-old Chris Wallace of Fox News television. Wallace is a registered Democrat, but he shuffles about the halls of Fox pretending to be a conservative-- and he takes a shot at Trump whenever the opportunity arises. He is much like his former liberal colleague at Fox, Shepard Smith, whose enmity for Trump became so apparent that he had to resign last year from Fox after nearly 20 years there.
Wallace had as his guest, Marc Short, Chief of Staff for Vice President Mike Pence. He hit Short with the same old Democrat line about how the Russians are assisting President Trump now, as they did in 2016. Short attempted to convince Wallace that there is no evidence to support that accusation. It just isn't true and he emphasized that such a belief defies common sense. Why would President Putin support Trump who is assisting the Ukraine, Russia's enemy? But Wallace would have none of it, and he continued with accusatory inquiries, containing negative reflections on the President.
Chris Wallace is the son of Mike Wallace,who, for many years, was a regular liberal inquisitor on CBS' "60 Minutes" and was employed in the media in varying capacities for seven decades. The senior Wallace died when he was in his 90s, and his son seems to be a liberal chip off the old block.
That Sunday was pretty typical of what is happening on the Sunday morning news shows. They are a major element of the biased and flawed media which has clearly forgotten its role in a society which asks for truth, and which abhors a media which is tethered to one political party and has disregarded the tenets of unbiased journalism.
Trump describes the product from the biased media as "fake news,"and has said that lying journalists are the enemy of honest Americans. Undeniably, the President is on target with the "Sunday Four."
