If you ever doubted that the media see the news through a partisan prism, consider this: in less than two days, ABC, CBS and NBC devoted nearly 7 times as much coverage to Jeff Sessions meeting with the Russian Ambassador in his role as a U.S. Senator than they did when then-Attorney General Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress in June 2012.
On March 2, Democrats accused Sessions of misleading Congress by not disclosing that he met with the Russian ambassador to the United States twice while he was serving as Senator. Despite admitting that the statements Sessions made to Congress “would not be considered false under the law” (Jan Crawford, CBS Evening News, March 2), ABC, CBS and NBC devoted more than 1 hour and 12 minutes to this topic, just on the morning and evening shows of March 2 and the morning shows of March 3.
According to Fox News, the Obama Administration arranged at least one of the two meetings between then-Senator Sessions and the Russian Ambassador: at a “Global Partners in Diplomacy” conference hosted by the State Department. The “meeting” that took place at the conference? “Apparently, after Sessions finished speaking, a small group of ambassadors—including the Russian ambassador—approached the senator as he left the stage and thanked him for his remarks.”
Back on June 28, 2012, then-Attorney General Eric Holder became the first Cabinet member to be held in contempt of Congress for withholding documents from the House investigation into the Obama administration's Fast and Furious scandal.
But that unprecedented move failed to rouse the interest of the broadcast networks..

Duh! The negative coverage of the Trump administration and transition has been so blatantly obvious.
I can't even begin to comprehend how anyone can put any credence into what the MSM is reporting. It blows my mind when I hear people regurgitate the MSM propaganda Koolaid, especially when I hear it from friends I thought were smart. God gave us the largest brain of any primate for use in reasoning. Use it! Otherwise, you're just carrying the weight on your neck for no reason.
I guess the press has had a free pass for 8 years in their colluded relationship with Obama, so now it's such a shock to them that anyone might believe differently. We have been buffaloed for so long, no we have a voice in DC. Finally!
This is just one more example of the unfair coverage that we get from the mainstream media. They are liberal hypocrites, and we should simply tune out from their unfair biased coverage.
