Now that the media think that President Donald Trump will be leaving office, they’re admitting things they never would have admitted otherwise.
CNN for example pushed all kinds of fake news against Trump for four years, suggesting all kinds of connections to Russia that weren’t real and pushing the Russia collusion hoax.
But today, on CNN’s New Day, Fareed Zakaria, revealed the network’s “dirty little secret” about the president.
First, he spread nonsense about how he thought Joe Biden would get us “engaged again” around the world. Like how Biden was engaged in Ukraine and China? Or how the Obama coddled Iran and failed to do anything about Russia or North Korea? President Donald Trump actually had real constructive contact, not just talk and bending over for our enemies.
When he was asked about how Russia policy would change if Biden came in, Zakaria dropped the truth about Trump.
“I think in general, there isn’t going to be as much difference as people imagine. The Biden folks are pretty tough on Russia, Iran, North Korea. You know, the dirty little secret about the Trump administration was that while Donald Trump had clearly had a kind of soft spot for Putin, the Trump Administration was pretty tough on the Russians. They armed Ukraine, they armed the Poles. They extended NATO operations and exercises in ways that even the Obama Administration had not done. They maintained the sanctions. So I don’t think it will be that different.”
So as Newsbusters notes, who were the people that kept all that a secret? It was CNN and their liberal brethren in media, as they tried to suggest things other than the truth.
Add to that Trump was the one who dropped bombs on Russians, killing a few hundred in Syria. Remember how media mocked Trump about his interest in Greenland? But that very interest showed how far-thinking Trump was about trying to head off Russia’s aims in the region. He wanted position there to check them if need be.
But the liberal media never really cared about the facts, just the narrative. So for four years we heard all kinds of stories suggesting Trump was a Russian agent. You can still see Democrats spreading this nonsense to this day and many still think so, even though it’s been debunked.
If they actually cared about who really seemed in the pocket of the Russians, the irony of ironies was, it was never Trump.
Compare to the Obama/Biden administration, which never seemed to really check the Russians, even after they claimed “Russian interference.” Indeed they did everything that seemed to help the Russians, from making the deal with Iran (Russia’s connection in the region), not arming Ukraine (and Obama personally making sure they were disarmed to begin with), killing American pipelines, not checking Russia in the Arctic. In all things, Obama was strangely “flexible” for Russia. Perhaps it was not strange then that it was to Russian disinformation that the Democrats appealed to try to take down Trump in 2016. Imagine what the Democrats would have done to Trump if he had that hot mic moment that Obama had with Putin’s stand-in Dmitry Medvedev. Trump would have been impeached by the Democrats in a red-hot minute. Obama? He got a pass.
