Liberal media continues to play dumb about Obamagate scandals

Tim Graham:

...
Liberals call the Obama scandals “invented,” but the invention here is the entire Russian-collusion narrative. Newly released documents show Obama aides screamed “collusion” on cable TV but admitted to Congress they had no evidence. No wonder journalists who energetically pushed a false narrative are playing dumb now.

Biden said of Trump: “This is his pattern: diversion, diversion, diversion, diversion, diversion! Don’t speak to whatever the issues before us are.” Biden and his media enablers want the dominant story to be Trump’s allegedly horrible coronavirus response. Don’t look into the origins of the Russia probe.

These ersatz historians who love comparing every Republican scandal to Watergate can’t seem to grasp with their brains how Obama might have been getting intelligence on former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s contact with the Russians during the Trump transition, and supervising FBI attempts to entrap Flynn. This effort didn’t sound “vague” when it was discovered that FBI “professionals” said bluntly that they went to the White House “to get him to lie” so they could “prosecute him or get him fired.”

The May 15 episode of “Washington Week” on PBS displayed a cavalcade of confusion. CBS News White House reporter Weijia Jiang, who’s attempting to rival Jim Acosta in needling the president with gotcha questions, complained: “(E)ven the president himself was not able to offer clarity about what crime was committed. I mean he’s talking about people should go to jail. He has coined yet another phrase, Obamagate, to talk about this. And he hasn’t talked about what he’s talking about, and that doesn’t matter sometimes.”

Associated Press White House reporter Jonathan Lemire made it sound like the Obama years are back again, since he couldn’t find an Obama scandal anywhere. “There’s no real sense of a scandal here among most observers,” he said. “Most observers” can be defined as the press pool that voted overwhelmingly for Obama — twice.
...
Then “Washington Week” host Robert Costa asked Abby Phillip of CNN how the Biden campaign is responding to these Obamagate messages. Phillip said the campaign has studied what went wrong with Hillary Clinton in 2016 and been “very aggressive” in undermining Trump’s attempts to “rebrand” all the Trump investigations as an Obama-Biden scandal. “So they’re really trying to put pressure on media organizations to not cover this incredulously and to really take a skeptical look at all of this,” she said.

Programs like these suggest that Team Biden either is incredibly effective at pressuring reporters to be scandal deniers or never had to pressure them in the first place.

I suspect that the media will continue to fail their homework assignment on questions to ask about Obamagate.  They were part of the coup attempt and now they have become part of the cover up.  They will cover up for Obama, Biden, the FBI and everyone involved in the coup attempt along with them. But what they cannot ignore is that Trump's new press secretary is going to keep confounding their dishonesty by pressing on with the truth about what Obama administration did and what the media did and what it failed to do.
