A complicit media and a reporter’s casual admission about whistleblower interviews.


Between:

-the newsworthy political Schumer drama today- the bill is dead/ the bill is alive!!!

-garret graff being the only one to break into some big news shows (spitting a lot of counterproductive, uninformed half-truths)

-a small group of house republicans that feel completely free to do as they please since they know reporters aren’t hunting them for comment as to why they’re blocking the UAPDA (besides our lone hero Matt Laslo)

I wanted to hear from y’all about what you think of WaPo’s Shane Harris’s comments at kirkpatrick’s last circle-jerk of an event. A lot of you will remember that he explicitly told the audience that he had interviewed a half dozen whistleblowers months ago. Seems newsworthy, right? Seems newsworthy even if Shane is convinced they’re lying (why are there multiple DoD employees going to the media with strange made up stories? Sounds like a huge scandal either way).

These things piled up leads me to believe 100% that the media is consciously refusing to substantively cover this topic. God bless newsnation, but it’s not enough. We need to get the country and the world up to speed on what’s going on here. Yesterday. And we need the mainstream media to achieve this. I’m getting sick of tagging Shane Harris on Twitter 40 times a day asking why he is sitting on such a massive story, which like I said, is a fat scandal whether they’re telling the truth or lying.

Any ideas on how to get the medias attention on any of this, or at least get Shane’s attention that we haven’t forgotten that he owes us a story? We have a right to hear whistleblower’s accusations regardless of what his opinion of the situation or what deal he and his paper have made with the devil. Let me know what you think of the situation, or if I’m being too hard on our big, dumb American media
