The FBI Is Now Mainly A Weapon Against Republicans
[Daily Wire] By Ashe Schow

What is the FBI’s main purpose now? Because outside of some great investigative work that gets little national attention, the bureau increasingly seems to be used as a federal weapon aimed primarily at Republicans, generally protecting Democrats while leaking any detail of ongoing investigations that could damage the GOP.

RedState’s Bonchie addressed the problematic aspects of the Times’ recent Gaetz piece:

Really, it should bother everyone, no matter their feelings on Gaetz, that the FBI can just leak something like this, to attack someone in such a blatantly political way. When you are facing an anonymous allegation, you can’t respond to it in any effective manner. Just last night, the reporter behind the Times story appeared on Rachel Maddow’s show and countered Gaetz’s claim about the man he named, yet she did so offering no proof whatsoever. These games are rigged, and you aren’t supposed to be able to defend yourself.

This is the same tactic media outlets took during the FBI’s investigation into whether former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with Russia to "steal" the election. That investigation ultimately found no evidence of such collusion, but that didn’t stop media outlets from publishing thousands of articles over a two-year period featuring quotes from "sources familiar with the matter."

#2 Short of lining up reporters, editors, and publishers then executing them pour encourager les autres, I do not see a way to fix the bias and inherent lying in the media, that would be any less violent, impractical, and morally questionable. So don't even suggest it, as tempting as it might be.

#3 Hit em in their credibility and "eyeballs". When their viewership drops off like their credibility, Advertising suffers. Make the advertisers hurt and the "Jornolists" don't get paid
