    --

    This is the dishonest media story of the week.

    You may say - dishonest, how!?!?!? That's some serious shit that Manafort is secretly working as a Russian agent.

    Well - it's just more bullshit red scare stuff from the oligarchs in power - it turns out the Manafort was a secret US Embassy source in Ukraine, in other words he was working with the US against Russia.

    This is old news too, yet the media decided to run this hit job out of nowhere anyway.

    Why would they do this? Well there's the damning email about "pay for play" Hillary donors in the DNC leaks - we also have learned that Soros has been the victim of a hack.

    Hmm.

        So, Wikileaks are only valid when they cast shadows on Clinton. But when they show possible misdeeds of Trump staffers, they are "dishonest media".

            This is one of the biases I see all the time with MSM reporting. If there is any scandal involving a politician and they are republican you can count on republican being displayed front and center......not so when they are democrats. If they list they are democrats at all it is never in the header but you have to dig a few paragraphs into the story before they finally state it. This story below is typical of many others..about 5 paragraphs into the story you finally find out she is a democrat:

            Yahoo News

            Pennsylvania's attorney general found guilty in perjury case

            NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania's attorney general showed little emotion Monday night as she was convicted of leaking grand jury secrets and lying about it under oath.

            In calling her a flight risk, the judge ordered Kathleen Kane, 50, to surrender her passport and threatened to jail her if she retaliated against the once-trusted aides who testified against her.

            "The court is concerned, especially with respect to her potential to flee, particularly with her going to Haiti (in 2014) in the middle of her office's tumult, and leaving no one watching the store," Judge Wendy Demchick-Alloy told Kane's lawyers.

            Kane's political consultant, testifying with a grant of immunity, changed his grand jury testimony last week to tell jurors that he had "conspired" with Kane to leak the grand jury material and then frame her chief deputy for the crime.

            Kane, a first-term Democrat who had never held elected office, enjoyed a brief honeymoon period in 2013 before her agency descended into chaos as she feuded with officials inside and outside of the department.

              Good catch....

              Usually the MSM playbook calls for waiting 7 -10 paragraphs... depending on the importance of the position held.

              She also released a bunch of embarrassing emails last year with threats to release more if she was prosecuted.

              Kane's office released scores of pornographic emails last year, setting off a wave of firings and resignations, including a state Supreme Court justice. Fina and Costanzo weren't identified as senders or receivers of those emails.

              Kind of convoluted, but Fina and Costanzo were her prosecutors who were after her for leaking Grand Jury testimony as I understand it.

              Once again... it's not so much "the act" as the "cover up".

                  There was a big scandal not that long ago about Face Book's bias against conservatives which was supposedly addressed and now this story which is an outright lie:

                  Facebook Falsely Claims Colin Powell Cleared Hillary In Email Case

                  Facebook’s “Trending Topics” section is at it again. Saturday morning the site ran a headline in the section declaring, “Colin Powell: Former Secretary of State Confirms He Recommended Using Personal Email to Hillary Clinton.” The only problem is Powell made no such declaration and he denied Clinton’s claim.

                  Once clicked, the “Trending Topics” story takes you to a picture of the two former secretaries of state with a caption reading, “Colin Powell: Former Secretary of State Confirms He Recommended Using Personal Email to Hillary Clinton. Powell told Clinton using personal email ‘vastly improved’ communication with his department, he said in a release Thursday. She revealed this to the FBI in July, the New York Times reported.”

                      He was with a private company that was employed by pro-Russian politicians.

                      Don't think he's a secret Russian agent, more so he just likes $ wherever it comes from.

                          Someone manufacturing headlines? Charges, if any, will be for failure to register as an agent of a foreign government for about a two-year period. In that sense he was an "agent" who kept his activity "secret", but far cry from Grant as played by Robert Shaw... or was it Mike Pence?

                          What's odd is Manafort had registered as required by law during other time periods...
