VIDEO: Krystal Ball says leftist media "Infowars conspiracy" hurt Dems

Not being a watcher of MSNBC, I had never heard of Krystal Ball until today. Doubting that that could be her real name, I Googled it, and found that according to Wikipedia, Krystal Marie Ball (DOB 24/11/81) is an American journalist [sic], politician ("Democratic" omitted), and news talk anchor on The Hill's news programme Rising with the Hill's Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti. She is also a businesswoman and certified public accountant, which of course made her eminently qualified to co-hos MSNBC's afternoon news/talk show The Cycle from June 2012 to July 2015. In the 2010 election, she ran for the Democratic Party in Virginia's 1st Congressional District. She lost.

Now somewhat removed from the institutional left, Ms Ball has turned (somewhat) on her former employer and colleagues at MSNBC, and admitted publicly that the abortive effort of the (((controlled media))) -- Hello not only to MSNBC but to CNN and the rest! -- to swing the 2016 presidential election and then enact a coup is doing a great deal to the Democrats. In this video, she concedes that the backlash against the Trump-hating media is only starting to play out. The 'Infowars conspiracy theory' on Russia and "this whole setup has done more damage to the Democrats' chances of winning back the White House than anything that Trump could ever have dreamed up." That's what the lady says.

Walt will eschew any jokes about cycles or crystal balls. Just watch the short (6:21) video.

Conclusion? No collusion! Mueller punts!

Now comes the payback. The American people have been lied to for two years. The whole "collusion with Russia" affair turns out to be pretty much a hoax. Hoaxes don't just occur by something like spontaneous combustion. Somebody started, somebody perpetuated it. Let them be found.

Comment from Blazing Cat Fur: There is a pall hanging over the left side of the internet today. The disappointment is palpable. How is this possible, they’re asking? We were so certain that the president of the United States was a traitor — that Hillary Clinton didn't lose the 2016 election because she was the worst candidate in modern history, but because Trump and the Russians worked together to steal it. It's like election night, November 2016, all over again.

Meanwhile, the investigation into "collusion" with Russia continues

While researching yesterday's post on the successes of President Trump, Ed. stumbled across a website we hadn't seen before: Indystar.com, which (to our surprise) is part of the USA Today network. They have a columnist and cartoonist -- there's a parlay for ya -- who goes by the name of Gary Varvel. From a quick read of some of his posts, Walt takes Mr Varvel for an evangelical Christian, which is almost as good as being a traditional Catholic.

Mr Varvel shares our views on President Trump. Click here to read "Trump’s successes have been underreported", which, by an amazing coincidence was posted yesterday. His list of the achievements of the Trump administration is more complete than ours [yet more succinct. Ed.]. [Whose fault is that? Walt]

If you liked that, you can sign up for Gary Varvel's e-newsletter Views from the Right. Tell him Walt sent ya, and wish him MERRY CHRISTMAS!
