(55) Sen. Jeff Flake condemns President Trump's attacks on media -- FULL SPEECH (C-SPAN) - YouTube


The Honorable Senator from Arizona, Jeff Flake, would have you believe that the mainstream media is the hallowed free press that he holds up as the esteemed guardians of the truth.

I differ with him. I perceive the mainstream media as a leftist propaganda machine.

This machine colluded with Hillary Clinton.

This same propaganda machine, or rather, one of its kings, the New York Times, had honored Stalin's Apolegist, Walter Duranty, Moscow Bureau Chief during the early 1930s, with Pulitzer Prize in 1932. Contrary to this NYT darling's news denials of the Ukrainian Holodomer, this reporter gave the NYT one of its dark spots.

In 1957, another NYT reporter, the late Herbert Matthews, served as the late Fidel Castro's press agent. His reports depicted the revolutionary Fidel Castro as a hero. The result was and remains one of the world's worst human rights abusers and terrorism's hosts.

The media, the mainstream one has disserved seekers of the truth in those mentioned instances cited above. I could very likely serve up many, many more examples to prove that the mainstream media that Mr. Flake would have you perceive as that free press, is very unworthy of being equated as examples of what is and should be, the free press.
