As we told you earlier, the mainstream media are getting hammered for helping Dems spin the story of the FBI placing an informant in the Trump campaign in 2016. As The Federalist’s Sean Davis notes, those members of the media helping with the liberal spin aren’t doing their credibility any favors:
“There weren’t any spies, there were just people secretly surveilling the campaign under false pretenses and then passing the information back to the government.” Yeah, go with that, media. That’ll get your trust back.

Not gonna lie: I’m loving the media remix of the 2017 hit “Nobody wiretapped the Trump campaign just so long as you ignore the wiretaps and national security letters targeting at least four campaign advisers or affiliates.” It’s so catchy!

My favorite track, though, is the new release from DJ Jimmy Clapper: “Trump should be happy the FBI spied Trump whoops I mean nobody spied on Trump.” That one is destined to be a classic.

The Democrats’ claims are ridiculous enough, but the number of media willful self-beclownings to cover for them is truly staggering.

ME: "See, kids, they weren't REALLY 'spies'. They were actually 'Confidential Human Sources'. See? That makes all the difference!"

No deep state here. Nope. Nuthin.
