The narrative playing out in the MSM is one of contempt for Julian Assange, Wikileaks, and whistleblowers everywhere. The outrage over “fake news” is relatively new, with the term being coined by mainstream around October/November of 2016. Below is the populatity of the term over the last 4 years. As you can see, very little notice was given to this term before October 2016.

So why the big push on exposing “fake news”? Well, the MSM has decided that they are the only networks worthy of listening to and all other independent news sources are wrong, immoral and misleading. This seems to be the narrative they want to use to discredit anyone not reporting how the MSM (or better yet, their bosses) want them to.

With the WikiLeaks Vault7 drop, the narrative playing out in the MSM is going something like this….

MSM Narrative:

“Federal criminal probe being opened into WikiLeaks’ publication of CIA documents” (CNN.com, By Barbara Starr, CNN Pentagon Correspondent, Updated 7:08 PM ET, Wed March 8, 2017)

Here we can see how quickly the attention gets diverted from the fact that the CIA is completely in the wrong, and likely operating illegally to lets go after WikiLeaks. It seems easier for the corrupt MSM to point the blame elsewhere instead of shining a light on the actual problem, which is the overreaching hand of the government and the growth of cyber corruption within our own government.

MSM Narrative:

“CIA leaks: Could there be ties between Russia and Wikileaks?” NBC News national security analyst Jeremy Bash says that the timing of the massive WikiLeaks dump on CIA hacking is telling: “This scandal didn’t just drop from the clear blue sky.” He says the intelligence community has been pushing back on Russian interference in the U.S. election and adds that many there believe this may be “Russia’s revenge.” (Today.com, published on 3/11/17)

It’s fun to note here that no other information is provided, nor do they cite a source, and nothing else on the page references anything else related to the WikiLeaks dump, the spying, the hacks released or any other relevant details of the dump. This article is a joke and needs to be taken down immediately.

MSM Narrative:

“The Truth About the WikiLeaks C.I.A. Cache” “If anything the documents confirm the strength of encryption technologies” (NYTimes.com, By: Zeynep Tufecki, Contributing Op-Ed Writer, March 09, 2017)

This piece of work even got condemned by the WikiLeaks Task Force. The WikiLeaks Task Force is a group of people dedicated to correcting false media stories that pertain to WikiLeaks, whistleblowers and the material WL distributes. And it’s important to note, this isn’t the first time this author has been caught spreading lies about WikiLeaks for nearly a year now. Don’t worry Zeynep, the gig is up. We see your disinfo campaign and we raise you some more truth.

MSM Narrative:

“Tech Roundup: Julian Assange as Tech Companies’ Defender” “Mr. Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, said the grroupu would give tech companies technical details to fix security flaws in phones and software said to have been exploited by the C.I.A.” (NYTimes.com, By: Pui-Wing Tam, March 10, 2017)

This is plainly just click bait for people looking for an unbiased article on Vault7 and WikiLeaks, but it seems to give you just the opposite. This piece is a Democrats wet dream and a blatant attempt at manipulating unsuspecting viewers.

MSM Narrative:

“WikiLeaks has joined the Trump administration” “As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump declared, “I love WikiLeaks!” And he had good reason to display affection to this website run by accused rapist Julian Assange. By releasing reams of emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, WikiLeaks helped tilt the 2016 election in Trump’s favor.” (Chicago Tribune By: Max Boot, March 9, 2017)

I couldn’t even get past the “accused rapist” comment. This is clearly a very uniformed individual pandering to the extreme left who already think Trump is some kind of Russia spy/operative. I think we can all agree Max definitely needs the boot straight up his lying a$$.

I could continue, but this gives us a pretty clear picture of what we are dealing with from the MSM.

What is clearly missing from the MSM’s narrative of the WikiLeaks Vault7 data dump is any kind of scrutiny of the C.I.A. Not one bit of accountability is being discussed in detail, and absolutely no outrage, at the very least, of the lack of oversight of the C.I.A.

The main talking point has turned into a witch hunt for the ones responsible for leaking these items to WikiLeaks, along with consequences for WL for publishing them. I hear not one bit of outrage from MSM about the apparent incompetence of the C.I.A., or the outrageous budget it has consumed. Not only are the operations of the C.I.A. covert, they also allow for zero oversight into the effectiveness off their tactics and programs to justify their budget.

If anything, what we have learned from WL Vault7 dump is that the C.I.A. needs to be investigated and/or audited. Those leading the C.I.A. must be looked at with absolute scrutiny AND the judicial system must deliver appropriate consequences for those responsible for wrong doing.

The bottom line is:
