The media has been complicit in the lies of the left

 Victor Davis Hanson:

The public is exhausted after a decade of chronic untruth from the left wing and its media.

The 2016 presidential campaign will be long remembered for the false allegation that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to warp the election.

Citing the bogus "Steele dossier," loser Hillary Clinton and other Democrat grandees claimed that the victorious Trump was an "illegitimate" president.

Almost immediately, the left and media then pushed for the appointment of special prosecutor Robert Mueller. He assembled a "dream team" of partisan prosecutors to prove Trump-Russian collusion.

Some 22 months later, Mueller found no evidence that Trump improperly won the 2016 election with help from any colluding Russians.

More hysteria followed when Trump was impeached in December 2019.

The left claimed he had pressured the Ukrainian government to look into the family of Joe Biden (then a potential 2020 election opponent) for its corruption with Ukrainian oligarchs -- as a condition for releasing military aid designated to Kyiv.

Yet Hunter Biden was paid nearly $1 million a year by a Ukrainian energy company to enlist his father, Vice President Joe Biden, for quid pro quo services.

In turn, Joe Biden himself later bragged he had pressured Ukraine to fire its prosecutor, Victor Shokin -- who happened to be looking too closely into the various shady schemes of the Biden family.

The deceptions and lies continued.

On the eve of the first 2020 debate, Biden aide and now Secretary of State Antony Blinken helped to round up "51 former intelligence authorities" to claim falsely that Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop -- full of incriminating evidence of felonious Biden family behavior -- was fabricated by the Russians.

Yet the FBI already had the laptop and had authenticated it as genuine.

The FBI was also actively enlisting Silicon Valley social media companies to suppress accurate news accounts of the laptop's embarrassing contents -- ostensibly to aid the Biden campaign.
...

There is more.

The anti-Trump forces were willing to lie about Trump and his agenda in order to return to power and the result was a disaster for the country.  They were able to get a corrupt Biden in power who oversaw one of the worst military debacles in history with his bugout from Afghanistan.  Biden also triggered one of the worst inflationary spirals in recent decades with his reckless spending spree upon taking office.  Along the way much of the mainstream media went along with the Democrats' lies and their attempts to criminalize their political opponents including Trump.

While the country has paid a price for the perfidy of the left and their media cohorts, those responsible for it are still in power.  The US will have a chance to right the ship of state if it votes the Democrats out of power in November.

Kerik to Newsmax: 'Bizarre' How Political FBI Has Become

...

"Bill Barr and the present attorney general today," Merrick Garland, "these are guys that have been involved in things that it's pretty stunning to me," Kerik told guest host Joe Pinion. "Bill Barr knew about" Hunter Biden's laptop, he said.

"He knew that laptop was legitimate. He knew it was actually Hunter Biden's. And he let us go through this period where me, Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon, you know, we were trying to get people to pay attention," Kerik added. "He knew the laptop was real and did nothing about it, you know, the attorney general today oversees an FBI that planted evidence on Donald Trump that, you know, has tampered with witnesses."

"The core of the bureau," Kerik added, its main staff, "you know, I have an enormous amount of respect for them, but the upper echelon has become so political that it's kind of bizarre, how political they've gotten."
