After the terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad weekend the media and the Left had, this reminder from Sharyl Attkisson about the grossly incestuous relationship between the media and ‘Deep State’ just really adds insult to injury.
And her point is more than valid:
It's convenient (for them) that Clapper, Brennan, Morell are hired at national news organizatns where they can give their spin & monitor media on matters that directly implicate them in *possible* improprieties. 1/? (cont.)

When Sharyl tweets, the Deep State should listen.
Oh, wait, they did that already.
There was a time when this placement wd have been considered an ethics problem. 2/? (cont.)

In some circles, even the perception of having an ethics issue is a big deal.
But eh, let’s not pretend the media cares about ethics.
A fmr. top intel official I asked about this said, "It also gives them an opportunity to correct the record and possibly influence others in the industry including editors and management…" 3/? (cont.)

Correct the record.
Heh.
But yes, they absolutely have the ability to influence the narrative.
Looking at you, Brennan.
"…If former CIA Dir. was in the news room I suspect a coworker or editor would use them as a resource and/or run things by them. They also become well placed spies to report on what legitimate journalists are up to. Sound familiar?"–fmr. top intel official. 4/4 #HeOughtToKnow

Sounds REALLY familiar.

Yikes.

That’s not what she said.
Who said Fox New was "pure and spin-free"? What about the point I'm actually making? You good with that?

Sit down.
And President Spanky doesn’t have Fox News rubber stamping all his lies? Give the rest of us who prefer facts and honesty a little credit for not drinking the maga kool aid. You’re the people and party that loves to hate.

Alrighty then.

Love it.
Yes.
'News' is shaped.
These hires directly conflict.— Birth Canal Survivor (@noble150) May 27, 2018
