Matt's been doing solid work on the long term damage to the media on getting way over their skis....
This fiasco will surely end up being a net plus for Trump. The obstruction parts of the report make him look like a brainless goon and thug, but the absence of what Mueller repeatedly calls “underlying crime” make his ravings about an elitist mob out to get him look justified. This is not an easy thing to achieve, but we’re there, and the press is a big part of that picture.

This last two years was an amazing shit show of lack of responsible journalism. Other than FOX there isn't one main stream media source that gave any other perspective other than that of a brain dead liberal. We all knew the MSM is 93% democrat dominated and if anyone needed any confirmation of liberal bias they sure as hell got it this last 2 years. You can't even find a MSM source (again other than FOX) who will even report on the excellent economy and the incredible impact on millions of Americans that this job market is providing. They not only spewed their bias about Trump but they are withholding from their viewers anything good that is happening with our country.
Bauder added the report showed “several instances where the president and his team sought to mislead the public.” He congratulated the New York Times and Washington Post for correctly reporting that White House counsel Don McGahn had been ordered to find a way to fire Mueller.
Trump, Bauder noted, had called this “fake news, folks, fake news.” It wasn’t. And neither were some other stories.
So, yay journalism! You were more truthful than Donald Trump, at times. This is like being proud of beating a fish at Boggle.
We’re not trying to be right more often than Trump — we’re trying to not be wrong, ever. It’s a standard, not a competition.
You know what was fake news? Most of the Russiagate story. There was no Trump-Russia conspiracy, that thing we just spent three years chasing. The Mueller Report is crystal clear on this.
They wanted him to fire Mueller. If he was that stupid he would have
I'm sure he railed about a lot in the Oval Office
You ought to see our office sometime
Like Trump we are building America. Tuff guys who don't take shit from pencil pushing losers like you

A former attorney general has slammed CNN host Chris Cuomo, accusing the host of "misleading" his audience about the Mueller investigation.
Michael B. Mukasey, a former federal judge, and President George W. Bush’s attorney general, took Cuomo on during an interview on his show Tuesday night. During a discussion about Attorney General Barr's summary of the Mueller report, Cuomo argued that Barr wrote his letter in a purposeful way to mislead the American people.
Mukasey, however, fired back that it was Cuomo and his network that proposed the report itself and the information within it in a misleading way.
"That letter came at a time when, no criticism of you, but your network were devoting days of people sitting around and talking about a report that they didn't -- whose content they didn't know, that they hadn't seen, in essence, panels of people sitting around a table inhaling their own exhaust and getting high on it," Mukasey said.
The country was in a state of absolute hysteria. You had a countdown clock in the corner of not one but several networks about the release of the report. He did the responsible thing," Mukasey said of Barr.
"[The letter] summarized the bottom line of that report which was that there was no collusion and that the special counsel had found that he could not indict but could not vindicate the president."
Mukasey then clarified that he meant the special counsel could not exonerate Trump, rather than vindicate. On that note, he argued, that it is not even the special counsel's job to exonerate anyone, because that job lies within the realm of a higher power.
BUT JUST WAIT FOR THE NEXT INVESTIGATION!!!!!! - HHusky - noted sucker
