This is not a story about jihad, and yet it is. This story, along with stories about how Leftist Soros-funded groups bought favorable coverage of the Iran deal and the Muslim migrant inundation, and also bought hit pieces on foes of jihad terror, sheds light on what the mainstream media really is: a propaganda organ for the Left and the Democratic Party in particular, not in any sense a genuine source of news.

This story explains why no mainstream media outlet ever covers foes of jihad terror favorably or give them a fair hearing, or ever notes the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ links to Hamas, or the Southern Poverty Law Center’s vicious bias and hard-Left agenda, but treats both as if they were objective, respected and respectable sources of information. It gives an insight into what might be motivating “journalists” such as Andrew Kaczynski, Christopher Massie, Scott Shane, Christiane Amanpour, Bob Smietana, Niraj Warikoo, Kari Huus, Dave Weigel, Lisa Wangsness, Anne Barnard, Michael Kruse and so very many others. Clearly they aren’t remotely honest reporters; are they bought and paid for shills for the dominant political perspective?

Will Politico fire Thrush? Of course not. If they did, they’d have to fire the rest of their staff, and all the other mainstream media outlets would have to as well.
