The BBC’s Katty Kay ventured out to suggest something that might not fit into the Left’s narrative.
That is a dangerous action that few if any mainstream media people have emerged from with their tweet-strength still intact.
Here she says Democrats risk looking like sore losers because they just can’t accept that Robert Mueller’s report might actually conclude Donald Trump didn’t collude with Russia.
Risk for Dems here is that the public narrative has already been formed and they look like sore losers in keeping the story going. https://t.co/W2HVGIRcWM

And whoa did she get trampled for that.
Such a weird thing for an actual journalist to say. The “narrative has been formed” and “they look like sore losers”? WT actual F?? How about: the details and the truth should be released to the public. Truth—not narrative should be the focus. Jesus this is disappointing. https://t.co/7VMAdU3wHM

How dare she suggest that Democrats are sore losers, even though they have been desperately trying to blame their 2016 election loss on anything and everything possible!
OTOH this is not a winners-losers, news-cycle scoreboard situation
this is about truth and reality, right and wrong
this is about what actually happened in 2016 and since
skilled public servants have investigated and produced an exhaustive account
we haven’t seen it yet https://t.co/RL0jnc3U4s

There is simply no diversity of thought in today’s media.
The factual "public narrative" is that the public saw right through the Barr letter and wants to see the damn report. https://t.co/jT5ffrrx8D

Risk for journalists turned pundits is they look like they reinforce Trump’s false narrative & don’t care about the truth in a report they haven’t read #MuellerReport https://t.co/38SQO13n6h

See, Democrats and the media’s conventional wisdom aren’t the problem.
Katty Kay is.

Interesting. So a public narrative formed by stenographers, I mean, journalists, who wrote stories treating Barr’s summary as airtight representation of Mueller report, despite never seeing report or talking to anyone who had? Wow. I’ve been doing this all wrong the past 20 years https://t.co/LDTc9lPv0F

Shorter media: We don’t welcome any tweet that isn’t proof that Bill Barr is an evil genius who climbs into the West Wing at 2:30 am each morning to plot with President Trump.

You can’t effectively form a narrative when you haven’t been actually informed. Even worse, misinformed. This is intellectually lazy https://t.co/9n3iXrV8Zl

If only there was someone with journalist credentials and a huge media platform who could actually do the job they're paid to do and challenge, change and correct the public narrative. *shrugs* https://t.co/RCzlpbEhyC

Is this a joke?
The media perpetuated a fiction based off a 4 page letter that we warned you was phony
And now that it turns out the letter actually was phony, we will look like "sore losers" unless we accept the fiction you guys perpetuated?
Go away. https://t.co/L2wlVts0Dr

Have any of these “journalists” jumping on Kay with both feet even considered the idea that Barr might actually have represented the Mueller report accurately?
