I did informal research this morning. When a story as big as the “Whistleblower” breaks, I search all of the MSM outlets that I can remember (getting old) for all the aspects of the story so I know what is being said on both sides.
This morning I searched the first page of each of these websites for the word “Whistleblower” from: NBC News, CBS News, ABC News, MSNBC, CNN, Huffington Post, New York Times, Daily Wire, Wall Street Journal, Daily Caller, The Hill, Fox Financial News and Fox News. These are the outlets I turn to try and understand what is being said on both sides of issues that interest me.
I found every page talking about Impeachment due to Mulvaney’s testimony. I found impeachment talk due to the announcement that the G7 summit will be held at a Trump property. Thereby enriching him. BTW, the conservative outlets are already reporting this has changed due to backlash. The Liberal outlets are not reporting this, yet.
What did I find even remotely related to the “Whistleblower”? Nothing. Nada, Zilch. This story is now officially dead. It was a nothing burger when it broke. Though without the transcript it was a big deal. Once the transcript broke, once it came out that the “Whistleblower” lied on the application, once it was revealed that Adam Schiff lied about never talking to the “Whistleblower”, once it was discovered that the “Whistleblower” had only second hand information, once the bias of the “Whistleblower” was revealed, once the lie that the “Whistleblower” was going to testify, then testify in writing, then not at all, the left tried to do damage control. Once the left and their MSM outlet supporters realized it was a nothing burger, they dropped the story. If there was any meat to this story that could be used to impeach Trump it would continue to be front page news. At least at this time this morning, it is dead. There is nothing to add to this story that isn’t already out there. It doesn’t matter how many so called “Whistleblowers” come forward with first hand knowledge. Nothing can change what was discussed between the 2 presidents. Once you read the transcript for yourself (I did), you realize the left has been lying about this from the beginning. Including even before the transcript was released. The left never dreamed that Trump would release it and expose their lies.
While I feel that Trump did the right thing and release the transcript, I don’t like the fact that it was released because it sets a dangerous precedence for future political shenanigans by either party.
