Susan Rice, CNN’s Jim Sciutto and YOU WON’T BELIEVE How Many Democrat Operatives Infest the MSM

With the news that Barry Obama’s top Trump-spy, Susan Rice, and her chief protectors within the MSM (especially CNN’s Jim Sciutto) are involved in all kinds of political-MSM incest, this seemed like an opportune time to revisit the overall topic of just how many former-Democrat operatives work within the national media, as well as how many relatives of Democrat operatives work within the media.

This list has nothing to do with opinion pundits like Josh Earnest at NBC News or Karl Rove at Fox News, who declare their biases up front. This list has nothing to with Sean Hannity or Rachel Maddow, hosts of opinion shows who declare their biases up front. If everyone declared their biases, the national news media would be the least of America’s problems.

Instead, what we have is a news media that disguises itself as unbiased even as it infests itself with former-Democrat operatives and the relatives of Democrat operatives. These left-wing plants are everywhere within the MSM, both on-the-air and behind the scenes in high-level executive jobs. Some at the very highest levels.

Let’s start with the fact that three of the four current Sunday shows are hosted by former-Democrat operatives.

CNN’s Jake Tapper

Before hosting Sunday’s “State of the Union” and “The Lead” on weekdays, Tapper worked as a Campaign Press Secretary for a Democrat congresswoman. He also worked for a gun control advocacy group.

Oh, and the Congresswoman Tapper worked for is no less than Chelsea Clinton’s mother-in-law, which helps to explain a lot.

NBC’s Chuck Todd

Before hosting Sunday’s “Meet the Press” and “Meet the Press Daily” on weekdays, Todd worked for hard-left presidential candidate Tom Harkin.

Todd is also married to a Democrat party strategist.

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos

Before hosting Sunday’s “This Week” and “Good Morning America” on weekdays, Stephanopoulos was a high-level operative for President Bill Clinton

CNN’s Chief National Security Correspondent Jim Sciutto

Former Obama appointee in foreign affairs, Sciutto is a former colleague of Susan Rice’s. Without knowing all of the facts and using sources identified as “people close to Rice,” Sciutto has absolved her of all wrongdoing.

And I am probably missing a few.

Regardless, add to this the knowledge that only 7% of journalists claim to be Republicans, less than half of what it was in 2002 and about a quarter of what it was in 1971.

In the most recent presidential election, 96% of media donations went to Hillary Clinton.

The fact that media bias is getting objectively worse is a feature, not a bug. Increasingly, the elite national media is becoming more and more of a left-wing cult where any journalist who dares color outside the lines is brutalized by the collective as an apostate.

Just ask Eli Lake, the Bloomberg News reporter who broke open the Susan Rice spying scandal. Once a member-in-good-standing with the national media, his inconvenient reporting is currently either being ignored or outright smeared as “false” 24/7 by CNN.

Like an immune system would a virus, the mainstream media has set itself up as an organism designed to eliminate and expel right-of-center thought and ideas. You’re either on the team, you either say the correct things, express the correct ideas and stay on the Narrative Plantation, or you will be slandered as a racist/liar/lunatic.

This close-minded and provincial approach chases away diversity of thought, which is the whole idea.
