The Liberal Media Bubble

The real shock to the liberal (not actually liberal anymore) bubble is when Trump is reelected.

I'm not sure what this is supposed to signify.

Based on the graphic at the bottom, I assume it's referring to what Dmitry Peskov said on Fareed Zakaria's show on CNN. So it's based on a story reported on CNN, a major news outlet, yet one not included in that graphic. That might tend to undercut the case they're making.

If you'd like to get specific, let's look at Mr.Peskov's actuall words:

“Well, if you look at some people connected with Hillary Clinton during her campaign, you would probably see that he had lots of meetings of that kind,” Dmitry Peskov told CNN “GPS” host Fareed Zakaria. “There are lots of specialists in politology, people working in think tanks advising Hillary or advising people working for Hillary.”

Not only is that not "Clinton Team Also Met Russian Ambassador," it's . . . actually, it's nothing, without supporting information. What's the news that was made that the networks aren't reporting on? A Russian spokesman made an extremely vague statement. News at 11.

Did Fox do some awesome follow-up reporting that I missed? I mean, if there's a story here that's being buried, seems like they'd be all over it.

Did people at think tanks within X degrees of separation of Hillary Clinton meet the Russian Ambassador? I'd be shocked if someone didn't. I agree that there's been a degree of hysteria about meeting an ambassador in the ordinary course of his duties, but there's still this fundamentally dishonest elision of the fact that the salient story is that people around Trump (and Trump himself) have been consistently lying about those contacts.

So this looks like a dodge, designed solely to give cover to the WH, coming from a friendly media outlet. If you're posting this as evidence of liberal media groupthink (the principle of which I'm not disputing), my question is: what's the big story that's not being reported?
 
"We have stated many times that there are no Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine. And while President Obama is saying that there are no doubts about it, officials from the U.S. State Department simultaneously with their president are saying that the U.S. does not have any evidence of the presence of the Russian military in the territory of Ukraine. This situation stresses the reluctance to rely on facts,"

Peskov said to the Russian News Service(September '14).

Seriously, y'all. A "probably" from this guy via a desperately spinning Fox News is not the place from whence great media criticism is born.
