After the 1961 baseball season, Whitey Ford of The New York Yankees said that “…it was a bad year for the Babe“, or a reference to a couple of Ruth’s records broken in October of that year.
Well, no records were broken here but it was a really bad couple of years for those reporters, and their editors, who decided to break stories based on all those “sources familiar with the investigation”.
Wonder if any will have the character to step up and say we messed up badly? I agree with Roger Simon that the media’s credibility may have been the biggest loser of this investigation.
How can anyone take David Corn, CNN, John Brennan, MSNBC, Rep. Adam Schiff, The Washington Post, Don Lemon, Rep. Eric Swalwell, The New York Times, and others seriously again?
Yes, the Democrats, most of them representing very safe districts, will have zero consequences.
The media won’t be so lucky. Yes, MSNBC will continue to attract the 3 million people drunk on Trump Derangement Syndrome but the others will see their ratings or readership suffer.
A bad year for the media.
