Mollie Hemingway, a prominent voice at The Federalist, made waves during her recent appearance on FOX News by asserting that the liberal media’s silence on the latest revelations regarding the Russia collusion narrative stems from their prior complicity in the events of 2016.
This assertion merits serious consideration.
Throughout Trump’s first term, liberal news outlets were quick to amplify any information that came their way, regardless of its credibility. However, as Tulsi Gabbard begins to unveil details implicating former President Obama and others, the enthusiasm for such stories from the same outlets has mysteriously waned. The contrast is glaringly evident.
For a detailed account, refer to the transcript on Real Clear Politics:
MOLLIE HEMINGWAY, THE FEDERALIST: Looking back at 2016, the Obama administration concealed intelligence indicating that Russia’s interference in the election was not as severe as portrayed. They suppressed this information to keep Donald Trump in the dark. Instead, they began leaking false narratives to outlets like the Washington Post and New York Times, claiming that Russia had colluded with Trump to hijack the election.
When these outlets were asked to disseminate these unfounded claims, they complied without hesitation, taking the word of figures like John Brennan, who propagated these inaccuracies. The Obama administration subsequently fabricated a completely misleading intelligence assessment, which again alleged Trump’s collusion with Russia to undermine the election process.
As these leaks circulated, the media obediently followed the narrative set by these sources, promoting a thoroughly discredited conspiracy theory for years.
Now that we are aware of the truth—namely, that the Obama administration buried pertinent intelligence and engineered phony assessments to destabilize a legitimately elected administration—the media chooses to ignore it.
And the reason for their silence? They were, indeed, complicit in the orchestrated deception.

It has become abundantly clear that much of the American media operates as an extension of the Democratic Party, a dynamic that has never been so blatant.
