Following the release of a rare statement by special counsel Robert Mueller’s office disputing BuzzFeed’s dubious claims that President Donald Trump had once ordered Michael Cohen to lie to Congress, something odd happened.
The president immediately chose Fox News host Geraldo Rivera’s reaction to retweet – the same Geraldo Rivera who has a habit of constantly bashing him like he’s a piñata:
Funny choice of messenger, but the message was dead on.
“At what point in fairness-after 2 years do Americans of good will say enough already? If the #SpecialCounsel had collusion don’t you think we would have heard it by now? This is history’s longest running smear job. Free @realDonaldTrump Reflect. Negotiate. Open the government,” Rivera’s tweets read.
“This is just the most egregious example of the rampant unfairness that has tainted this partisan witch-hunt from the beginning. The utter hatred for @realDonaldTrump has empowered a legion of back stabbers wielding flamboyant falsehoods to undermine @POTUS.”
The anger was so palpable because the entire mainstream media spent all of Friday touting BuzzFeed’s since-discredited allegations as concrete facts.
But not everybody reacted to Mueller’s announcement with rage. Trump Jr. reacted by first laughing in glee and then calling out the media for their constantly false narratives.
Look:

You were saying???
Please continue. I’m actually curious about your bullshit commentary for the first time ever.
How many stories like this are out there? How many retractions and apologies will there be? https://t.co/nUDFGpw2Fx

If the media does not spend — minute for minute — the same amount of time on the death of the latest #FakeNews from @BuzzFeed (RIP) that they did speculating about “IF IT’S TRUE ?!” then they should quit even pretending to be unbiased. What a disgrace. #RIPbuzzfeed

First Jim Acosta proves walls work. Now BuzzFeed (RIP) proves what a joke the coverage of the witch hunt has been. TDS sure does produce some strange symptoms. #RIPbuzzfeed #tds #TrumpDerangementSyndrome

Over the course of his father’s presidency, the media have run a near-endless stream of since-retracted reports, all of them negative. As noted by Trump Jr. last year, the new standard for “journalism” isn’t to report the facts, it would seem, but rather to push fake news and hope it’s true.
New media standards:
We want it to be true therefore it is. #fakenews https://t.co/uh4jgpWAjR

It’s why the president and his allies have been so critical of the media — because it seems as if they act like arms of the Democrat Party versus paragons of unbiased truth.
Remember it was Buzzfeed that released the totally discredited “Dossier,” paid for by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats (as opposition research), on which the entire Russian probe is based! A very sad day for journalism, but a great day for our Country!

Speaking of Democrats, they too earned jeers and mockery Friday for having bought BuzzFeed’s dubious narrative hook, line and sinker — and then used it to claim it was time to impeach the president.
Look:

Actually, it turns out the whole media is often “Full of Schiff.” Who knew!?
