Now on to the links for this Thursday where the 4th Estate 5th Columnists' assault on the truth in service of the Democrat-Left enterprise to overthrow the President and the nation as founded is in the lead. Yesterday, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell was forced to give a public retraction on his show for a completely fabricated cock and bull story that Trump had received loans from Russian oligarchs, the not so subtle implication being that he was somehow beholden to their puppet-master Vladimir Putin. How could a story so patently false, without a scintilla of anything even remotely resembling a fact ever get on the air, let alone past a producer's desk? Well, let's jump into the Way-Back Machine for a look at Mr. O'Donnell's background. His qualifications for being in front of TV camera to present news to a mass audience (the definition of "mass" being debatable in his case) was as a writer for The Harvard Lampoon, a legislative aide for Daniel Patrick Moynihan and as a writer for the TV show The West Wing. He has also described himself as a "practical European Socialist."

In a perfect world, I might concede that neither his CV nor even his avowed political persuasion would not necessarily disqualify him from what I used to consider a position of some responsibility. Because in a perfect world, us imperfect humans would make every effort to put aside our personal preferences and politics to get the facts right and just tell the story in as impartial a manner as possible.

But we do not live in a perfect world, despite O'Donnell and his fellow travelers' continuing failed efforts to create one mostly by grinding over 150 million lives into the dirt, along with anything that even remotely resembles the truth. Lawrence O'Donnell is not an outlier or even a rare one-off. Lawrence O'Donnell is par for the course. Like 99.999% of them, O'Donnell is a hack; nothing more than a propagandist with press credentials. That said, now that he's given what amounts to an anodyne, boilerplate sort of retraction, assuming you are into self abuse, he'll be on your TV screen tonight as if nothing happened, still frothing at the mouth against Trump, conservatives, and America.

Lest we forget (which far too many Americans no doubt have) Dan Rather's and Mary Mapes' punishment for attempting to smear Bush 43 with documents they either knew were forgeries or even commissioned the forgeries themselves, to sabotage his 2004 re-election bid. Their punishment? Yes, they were let go from CBS, but then given Peabody Awards, book deals and feted by their colleagues as courageous heroes in telling truth to power. I may vomit.

This is not new. It goes back at least as far as Walter Duranty and the New York Times willingly covering up Josef Stalin's genocide by starvation of the Ukrainians in the early 1930s, for which to this day the Sulzberger's refuse to return their Pulitzer Prize. What is new is that it's now out in the open, for all the world to see. And while more and more do see it, as the saying goes, a lie travels halfway around the world before the truth gets out of bed and puts its pants on. Just see the damage that Robert Mueller has done even after being publicly humiliated before Congress.

Still, I think the media has jumped the shark. All they had to do was to just make a modest attempt to accept the fact that Trump won and then cover him only to the level of hate and contempt they showed Ronald Reagan. But they couldn't, because they've completely exposed themselves as active participants in making news, not impartial observers that report it.

FIRST AMENDMENT, CENSORSHIP, FAKE NEWS, BIG BROTHER BIG TECH

Besides O'Donnell, David Harsanyi with a report on the Democrat-Media Complex now bringing in the Tea Party movement to further the phony racism and white supremacy smears, further down the Acela corridor we go from bedbugs to cockroaches which leaves a vermin-du-jour yet to be uncovered at The Boston Globe, Breitbart's Joel Pollack who was ejected from Irish Paddy O'Rourke's event yesterday will now be allowed in at future events, which I guess assumes the turd hors d'oeuvres maven will have future events, and finally two links on President Trump targeting Big Tech social(ist) media for regulation.

  AMNESTY, IMMIGRATION, MIGRANT INVASION, BORDER SECURITY

  The administration is apparently not going to automatically grant citizenship to kids born of US military parents overseas, border apprehensions are dropping but are agents actually being deployed to patrol as a result, and another spark-of-humanity boy just turning his life around gets life without parole for murdering a little girl.
