CBS Evening News anchor Norah OâDonnell was just the latest journalist to make a fool of herself by repeating the exact words that an unnamed DOJ official told her without verifying the information independently. This time, the factual matter under dispute was the exact whereabouts of President Trumpâs three passports after the FBI raided his Florida mansion.
The Deep State wanted ordinary Americans to know yesterday â off the record of course! â that the FBI didnât take Donald Trumpâs passports. How dare the 45th President of the United States suggest such a thing! To have the audacity to accuse our finest law enforcement officers of stealing his stuff, Norah wanted you to know, was just another low in the career of Orange Man Bad.
Except, of course, Trump was right. The FBI had stolen his passports during the raid on Mar-a-Lago. Trumpâs attorneys even released an email from the FBI telling them when his passports could be picked up! To make matters worse: the passports were missing on the FBIâs property receipt of items seized (whoops), and the warrant didnât allow the FBI to take them anyway (whoops again), and the federal government had failed to get a special court order to seize his passports too (triple whoops).
When President Trump said that the FBI stole his passports, he was being technically (and ethically and legally) correct.
It turns out that the DOJ official that CBS News had trusted to tell the truth was not â like countless other DOJ officials and FBI officials and CIA officials and other assorted other national security state bureaucrats during the Trump years â telling the truth. Like so many other media personalities in the last few years, OâDonnell had humiliated herself by doing exactly what federal law enforcement officials in the Banana Republic of Biden wanted her to do: spread misinformation.
Norah OâDonnellâs Twitter account was not suspended, of course, for spreading misinformation. Far from it! Her career as a pseudo-journalist will continue on at CBS News because she has willingly played her part in the greater cause of âgetting Trumpâ before the 2024 election. In fact, the chances that Norah OâDonnell will win some bogus news journalism award (named after an octogenarian Democrat donor no doubt) have actually increased â which tells you everything you need to know about corporate journalism in America today.
Those who parrot the falsehoods of government officials in Bidenâs Banana Republic are rewarded handsomely. There are laurels for every liar.
Meanwhile, a much more important journalist named Paul Sperry â who works as an investigative reporter for Real Clear Politics â suffered a very different fate. He found himself permanently suspended on Twitter for sharing information from anonymous sources just like Norah OâDonnell.
Notice the difference.
Paul Sperry has spent his time following the Durham investigation â which is too close for comfort for the corrupt figures in charge of the Biden regime. The FBI is probably not a fan of his reporting either â so heâs been banned.
In case youâre wondering whether you still live in America, just consider this: the corporate news had no problem with picking disgraced FBI counterintelligence official Peter Strozk to defend the integrity of the FBI.
Now remember: the folks over at MSNBC could have picked anyone to publicly defend the FBIâs credibility. They chose Peter Strozk.
Thatâs like picking Ike Turner as your marriage counselor, or Hunter Biden as your spiritual advisor, or Bill Clinton as a babysitter for teenage girls.
Itâs a failure of judgment thatâs so spectacular and obvious that it must be deliberate.
In other words, MSNBC is telling you that the Democrat wing of the
