#FakeNews media still pretends Steele is credible


The latest #FakeNews about how Trump is evil revolves around the another unverifiable claim raised by discredited British ex-spy Steele.

Steele is the author of the Hillary paid for dossier which the #FakeNews media still champion even though Steele as stated, under oath in court, that the contents of the document are unverified.  Given that the sources are unnamed and that Steele has a strong bias against Trump--amazingly verified by Bruce Ohr-- one would think that honest reporters would stop acting as though everything Steele says is Gospel truth.

Instead it has now come out that Steele told Bruce Ohr, disgraced twice demoted Justice Department lawyer, that the Russians had Trump over a barrel.

There is absolutely no evidence other than Steele's claim that this is true. But of course Steele previously told the media that his dossier was the real thing too.  Clearly Steele is not reliable.

Ohr isn't reliable either.  His wife worked for the same company as Steele did and may have been involved in the development of the dossier. Facts that Ohr did not disclose to the DOJ; he only listed her as an "independent contractor" on his disclosure forms.

He was demoted because he continued to be in contact with Steele, apparently an old friend, after the FBI cut contacts with Steele because Steele had lied to the FBI about his contacts with the press.

Basically this boils down to the following:

A British citizen with a strong bias against Trump was paid by Hillary to find dirt on Trump.  He produced a dossier, possibly with the aid of the wife of a senior DOJ official, based on second hand rumors by unidentified Russian officials which the British citizen has admitted in court isn't verified.

The media is treating that British ex spy as credible.

Can you imagine if a right wing source, say Ann Coulter, said that Hillary Clinton had conspired with Putin on the Uranium One deal based on the unverified rumors dug up by a virulently anti-Hillary former Mossad agent?

This incident is just more evidence that the #FakeNews media is populated by dishonest political hacks and is nothing more than a propaganda machine for the Democrat party.

In case there are any leftists reading this not all media is #FakeNews so this isn't an attack on the idea of a free press.  Trump isn't perfect and attacks on his policies are fine. What's not fine is lying to the American people in order to attack Trump.
