Why does MSM keep broaching the idea that the Mueller probe is a witch hunt??

[triron]

Why does it even need discussion? It's like broaching the idea
that the earth is the center of the universe.

1. Andrea Mitchell? Time to put the old guard out to pasture.

How about just calling a spade a spade Andrea and call it a counter intelligence investigation into the attack on our democracy?

[democratisphere]

2. Keeping it fair and balanced!

[onenote]

3. Can you give an example?

I haven't notice the MSM discussing it beyond reporting that Trump has, for the umpteenth time, called it a witch hunt and, more often than not, following up with a reference to the indictments, convictions and/or guilty pleas that the investigation has produced.

4. Why? Because they are unwitting (or witting) agents of the powerful, they do their bidding

See Herman and Chomsky, Manufacturing Consent, for an analysis on how this works. Or Chomsky's Necessary Illusions.

5. It's a Feeble Attempt at Bothsiderism

Even though though it’s glaringly obvious there’s nothing even remotely approaching any similarity on the Democratic side. The conservative mainstream media, for the most part, doesn’t care.

6. The illusion of impartiality.

But the US corporate media is conservative in outlook.

7. Yeah, I only see it quoting Trumpenfuhrer or that stupid Conway gal. n/m

8. They sometimes parrot statements from the White House

Even when there is an idiot or a crook in the White House.

Richard Nixon said on live TV "I am not a crook." That didn't stop him from being one. Same goes for Trump. Except Trump won't say, "I am not a crook." Trump will just say, "so whaddya gonna do about it?"

Andrea Mitchell is in dire need of one of several things, two of which are a move to Fox Noise or retirement. The others I can think of are somewhat more drastic in nature.
