The Mueller Report dashed Democrat hopes of pinning Russian interference in the 2016 elections on Trump. That report, in fact, incriminated the Clintons and the Democrat’s but that’s a whole other story.
The MSM, the lackies of the left, were relentless in the Trump-Russia collusion story for nearly three years, investing time, resources, and, as the editor of the Washington Post says, building their newsroom around that particular story.
The Washington Examiner says the editor’s comments, made to an employee, were leaked. Dean Baquet was recorded saying:
“[…] after the Mueller report, the paper has to shift the focus of its coverage from the Trump-Russia affair to the president’s alleged racism.
“We built our newsroom to cover one story, and we did it truly well,” Baquet said. “Now we have to regroup, and shift resources and emphasis to take on a different story.”

What is stunning in this admission from the editor of the New York Times is that he thinks pushing a story that he knew to be a lie was a job well done.
Clearly, facts are irrelevant to this newspaper and Trump is quite justified in calling them fake news.
Now the Trump-Russia allegation story has gone up in an expensive puff of smoke, the New York Times says it will regroup and focus on the president’s alleged racism. Like this recent story perhaps?
US President Donald Trump has denied being a racist after remarks he made about a black Democratic Congressman and the US city of Baltimore.
Mr Trump had attacked Rep Elijah Cummings, calling his majority-black Baltimore district a “disgusting, rat and rodent-infested mess”.
Several leading Democrats, including House speaker Nancy Pelosi, criticised the president for his language.
Mr Trump deflected the criticism, accusing Mr Cummings of racism.
“There is nothing racist in stating plainly what most people already know, that Elijah Cummings has done a terrible job for the people of his district,” the president wrote in one of several tweets on Sunday.
“Dems always play the race card when they are unable to win with facts,” he wrote.
Mr Trump has previously turned accusations of racism back on those accusing him, without evidence. He did not offer any examples of Mr Cummings being racist.

And Cummings did not support his accusation that Trump is racist either, but doubtless, the MSM will get mileage out of this and the same pattern will emerge of MSM finding a bunch of people crying, racist, then Trump will call them out as fake news, or simply return the racism charge as he did here. And so it goes on.
Little wonder Trump is the first President to use Twitter and Facebook with such gusto because it is virtually the only media available to him that he can trust.
