Senior NPR business editor Uri Berliner admitted in an explosive op-ed published Tuesday that the public radio station’s RussiaGate reporting was a bust, and that it did not fess up to that after no “Russian collusion” was found between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Furthermore, Berliner admitted that then-California Senate candidate Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) became the news outlet’s “guiding hand” in this fruitless endeavor, and expressed regret in hitching its wagon to him. Schiff was the main pusher of the Russia collusion hoax in Congress and had repeatedly insisted there was “circumstantial evidence” of collusion.

So let’s see
half the country knew Russian influence on the 2016 was a big nothing burger, but had to watch hysterical CNN run with it for five years…. Breaking Wind on CNN … total bullshit
On the other hand, Hunters laptop was immediately dismissed as a Russian op and our Fourth estate considered it a non story …. 51 Intel analyst agreed Haha
Obviously the swamp was and still is terrified of Trump and it’s all because they think he will change the Crooked culture of how our government works

Probably does deserve its own thread. The stuff he was shedding a light on have been talked about here before. The silo effect of a news reporting, and the churn of the same stuff over and over again, has had a significant impact on a news outlet like NPR. No one would've confused them with FOX a decade ago, sure, they slanted left then, but not in any real partisan-drive way. You listen to NPR today and they've even coached up the interviewers now to interject frequently into interviews with "that's right" and other, seemingly innocuous bits but enough to sway whether the person being interviewed should be listened to or not. I still listen to NPR a lot, but it's turned into other news outlets where you need to really filter out the bias and that's a shame.

Sure.
The point of this thread was the same story was posted about 4 separate times (3 by CH and one by BDK) in 3 different threads. CH denied this. ‘88 delivered the receipts.

Let's take it from the top ...
As I've posted before, there was smoke around communication between the trump campaign and russia. There wasn't enough evidence to prove it was collusion, probably because it didn't rise to that level. The first impeachment was baloney and arguably a coup attempt. The really sad thing about the first impeachment is that it poisoned the well for the second impeachment which was completely deserved and trump should have been convicted by the Senate.
The misinformation and suppression of hunter's laptop was also baloney. Voters should have known the truth about it just like voters should know if trump is found guilty of any of the charges against him before voting.
The swamp is terrified of trump. Not because they think he's going to clean up the corruption but because they know he's going to try and replace it with his own.

This is pretty accurate until it goes off the rails in the home stretch …. How is Donald going to replace the entire swamp with a swamp of his own?
The swamp gives Joey Idol a thumbs up because he was born into the swamp and knows nothing else but the swamp
Let there be no doubt that the swamp will swallow Donald up again if he’s actually elected, which I doubt.

Don't be obtuse. Obviously trump isn't going to replace the entire swamp. He's going to replace key people and he's going to attempt to remove and replace thousands of federal civil service workers. It's called Project 2025.

Probably not too far off. Excluding the military and gun carrying law enforcement, the Biden/Trump vote would probably be in the 80-20 or 75-25 ballpark among the rest of the fed workforce.

You thinking it's ok to remove or replace them simply because they're lefties is no better than some liberal thinking it's ok to defund the police.
Hiring and retention should be based on knowledge, skills, experience, competence and job performance not ideology.

Nonsense - there was a huge press conference about the laptop in the equipment yard of a NY landscaping service.
Wasn't there supposed to be some evidence of nefarious goings on that were going to be exposed by the laptop? How did that work out, CH? I haven't been keeping up on that one, can you bring us up to speed?

I disagree with your assumption that had the first impeachment attempt not happened the Senate would have convicted him in the second attempt. No way
that Senate was going to convict Donald Trump of anything anytime.

The second paragraph is right on the money, unfortunately that’s not the way it happens. Once hired, competence and job performance mean almost nothing.

Albert dominated his classmates so his views on education were obviously distorted…
https://www.tsowell.com/speducat.html
For those who are interested in schools that produce academic success for minority students, there is no lack of examples., past and present. Tragically, there is a lack of interest by the public school establishment in such examples. Again, I think this goes back to the politics of education.
Put bluntly, failure attracts more money than success. Politically, failure becomes a reason to demand more money, smaller classes, and more trendy courses and programs, ranging from "black English" to bilingualism and "self-esteem." Politicians who want to look compassionate and concerned know that voting money for such projects accomplishes that purpose for them and voting against such programs risks charges of mean-spiritedness, if not implications of racism.
