Memo Damage Control
On January 29th, 2018, the House Intelligence Committee voted to release the document detailing surveillance abuses by the FBI and DOJ, leading to outrage from the political establishment, mainstream media and the intelligence community who clearly prefer to operate in secrecy.
The document – or memo – on the subject of “Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Abuses at the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation” was sent to HSPCI Majority Members by HPSCI Majority Staff on January 18th, 2018. The document was declassified by order of President Donald Trump on February 2nd, 2018. Stefan Molyneux discusses the news.
And here, Molyneux breaks down the manipulative framing and sophistic tricks the mainstream media used to dismiss “the memo” prior to its release. The mainstream media is no longer the vanguard for a free press in America. Few are credible or honest in their reporting.
Most are just CIA mouthpieces, for instance, the Washington Post, whose owner, Jeff Bezos, did not turn a profit on his businesses (including Amazon) until 2013 — the year he negotiated a $600 million deal to do cloud computing services for the CIA.
