Keep calm and keep watching both the Democratic Party and the DNC Media Complex [but I repeat myself!] destroy themselves in real time.

This is the SECOND TIME IN A WEEK the @whca brazenly stuck a CCP propagandist inside the White House press room during a Presidential briefing so the foreign agent for the CCP could propagandize for the Beijing regime.

This came a week after WHCA tried to ban @ChanelRion.

The previous CCP reporter lied to the President of the United States by claiming she worked for an 'independent' media outlet, not one owned by the CCP government.

That was a lie.

Today this happened: https://twitter.com/RaheemKassam/status/1248277103428210689?s=20

This is the SECOND TIME IN A WEEK Trump has asked a direct question to a CCP reporter and was lied to about a simple question of who they work for.

This comes after weeks of these WHCA reporters attempting to browbeat the President into repeating CCP talking points.

Because the DNC Media reporters abjectly failed to get the President of the United States to stop exposing what the CCP did in covering up this virus, it appears the strategy that was adopted was to bring ACTUAL REPRESENTATIVES OF BEIJING into the briefings & let THEM try.

Well my goodness, if that was the strategy, it's failing miserably.

Not only did both CCP reporters not have any better luck at challenging the President with CCP talking points, he flipped the tables on them & got both to utter blatant falsehoods about themselves.

There's a line in a James Bond novel that stuck with me over the years.

"Once is coincident...twice is happenstance...the third time it is enemy action."

Let's see if they are dumb enough to try this a THIRD time with a third CCP reporter.

Meanwhile Nancy Pelosi has started up another fun committee to investigate "what the President knew and when he knew it" about the CCP virus.

There were already anonymous leaks to the DNC Media Complex claiming Trump was warned by intel agencies this virus was coming.

To attempt to bolster that narrative, ABC News published a "news article" yesterday based on anonymous sources claiming the National Center for Medical Intelligence [NCMI] had created & circulated an intelligence report last November warning of the spread of the CCP Virus.

Here's that story from ABC News: https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/intelligence-report-warned-coronavirus-crisis-early-november-sources-70031273

So the story goes is that an INTELLIGENCE REPORT was circulating among top gov't officials beginning in November and this report WARNED that the CCP Virus was already spreading and could become 'catastrophic'.

Super duper secret report, but it's circulating in DC, you see.

Well guess what the Pentagon just did?

The National Center for Medical Intelligence did something that very RARELY happens.

ABC News' story is so false, the NCMI was COMPELLED to publicly state no such report was ever written or circulated. https://www.redstate.com/elizabeth-vaughn/2020/04/09/pentagon-torpedoes-abcs-latest-attempt-to/

Remember when @jasonleopold & Anthony Cormier of @BuzzFeedNews published a report claiming they had inside sources who'd shown them DOCUMENTS that proved President Trump had ordered Michael Cohen to commit perjury?

And the Special Counsel's office was COMPELLED to respond?

In an stunning move, Bob Mueller's office put out a press release DENYING the Buzzfeed news report, categorically and unequivocally.

Of course, Buzzfeed, Leopold, Cormier and then-chief Buzzfeed News editor @benyt firmly stood by their anonymous sources & refused to retract.

Well my goodness, who were you supposed to believe? The Office of the Special Counsel, or Buzzfeed's anonymous sources?

Even before the Mueller Report was publicly released, there were plenty of problems with the story.

Still Leopold, Cormier & Smith soldiered on stubbornly.

At the time it was unfolding Iwrote about the whole hysterically funny affair here in this column. https://www.theepochtimes.com/media-cant-admit-trump-russia-sources-are-compromised-feeding-them-fake-news_2779693.html

We are now more than a year removed from that particular Buzzfeed News fiasco.

As it so happens, it turns out the Special Counsel's Office was telling the truth and Buzzfeed's sources were playing with them like the idiots they are.

Thus is starkly revealed the actual nature of the Fake News Media.

The truth or falsity of the stories they publish? That's irrelevant to these people.

The only thing that counts is the POLITICAL EFFECT of the narratives these fake news stories launch & sustain.

It was very important that Smith, Leopold & Cormier present a united front to support the fake news they were pushing because the NARRATIVE that fake news helped support was so very very crucial.

It was to keep the pressure on Trump, damage him, help take him down.

It's **exactly the same** with this ABC News story about a supposed intel report circulating last November warning of a CCP Virus pandemic.

ABC News doesn't actually CARE at all if the story is true or false.

What's important is the POLITICAL EFFECT of the story.

And again, as last March with the Special Counsel's office being literally compelled to respond to a fake news story about evidence that office didn't really have, now the NCMI has been forced to respond to ABC News and directly state no such report was created or released.

But I'm pretty sure just as Buzzfeed News adamantly refused to retract their Cohen scoop, ABC News is going to refuse to retract this fake news report.

They are going to INSIST the public believe their anonymous sources and not the NCMI.

It's all about the political effect of the story.

Pelosi's fun new committee to investigate the President's response to the CCP Virus needs fuel to run on, and that's what this fake news story is supposed to provide.

This ain't gonna go like the wrap up smear did with the Ukraine thing.

Trump ain't got time to play with this pandemic going on.

And the election is in 7 months.

That's why Bill Barr is coming out now & saying fun stuff like this. Durham's coming. https://twitter.com/RealSLokhova/status/1248241900802445312?s=20

Someone told the media at the very beginning: “The leaks are real; the news is fake.”

They didn’t listen. And they’re still not listening.

I'll end the thread with this:

Note how this official on-the-record statement from the NMCI leaves no wiggle room whatsoever for ABC New's anonymous sources.

LOL.
