JOHN KASS: New focus on Clinton, dossier on Trump rocks Democratic Media Complex.

Once you lose your name and credibility, where are you?

I hope all this worries you, no matter what political tribe you belong to, because for more than a year now, that Democratic Media Complex has been shrieking about Russia this and Trump that and collusion this and collusion that.

The Trump-Russia collusion theme has been a chorus of barking dogs everywhere you turn, in online news hyped to feed anti-Trump appetites, on cable, where the appetites are sated, and even in happy-talk banter of radio and TV news anchors.

The driving force has been a partisan desire to excuse Hillary Clinton for losing her 2016 election to Trump. It’s been aggressive and passive and all Russia-Trump all the time.

Many, but not all, of the Russia stories have been debunked, and precious little, if any, evidence has come out of the congressional investigations directly linking the president to an alleged effort by the Russians to steal Clinton’s presidency.

The irony is that the New York Times broke the Clinton Foundation/Russia/uranium/pay-to-play story back in 2015, yet the media still went whole-hog for Hillary’s post-election Russia narrative. So if the media has indeed lost its credibility, they have no one to blame but themselves.
