Media must discredit Susan Rice 'unmasking' news because they're implicated as much as their Democrat Party partners. They use 'non-denial denials' like, it's 'another fake scandal,' and 'because she's a black woman.' They omit that Susan Rice has a clear history of dishonest public statements-NY Post Editorial Board, 4/5/17

4/5/17, "Why the media want to bury the Susan Rice ‘unmasking’ news," NY Post Editorial Board 

"The folks at CNN and MSNBC are working overtime to splash cold water all over the startling disclosure that President Barack Obama’s national security adviser, Susan Rice, was behind the “unmasking” of Trumpites in transcripts of calls with Russian officials.

“Another fake scandal being peddled by right-wing media” is what CNN anchor Chris Cuomo (brother of New York’s Democratic governor) called it."...

[Ed. note: CNN's Chris Cuomo on 6/9/14 cheered media for trying to effect the outcome of a US presidential election in favor of  presumptive Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton, providing millions of dollars of free advocacy:

6/9/2014, "CNN's Chris Cuomo: The media's been giving Hillary a "free ride,"" MediaIte, Josh Feldman

"CNN anchor Chris Cuomo made an aside at the end of a segment about Hillary Clinton this morning, remarking that the media has been pumping up her campaign and giving her a “free ride” so far. Clinton will almost definitely run for president in 2016, and she has a lot of interviews lined up for this week....

Cuomo then observed, “We couldn’t help her any more than we have. She’s got just a free ride so far from the media! We’re the biggest ones promoting her campaign, so it better happen.”"]

(continuing): "National security correspondent Jim Sciutto (who joined the network straight from the Obama administration) labeled it “a ginned-up scandal” and President Trump’s “latest attempt” to “divert attention from his team’s contacts with Russia.”

Over at the even harder-left MSNBC, anchor Chris Matthews and analyst David Corn tried to outdo each other in implying base motives for the Rice coverage. “Notice it’s always a female” who’s attacked by conservatives, snarked Matthews. Added Corn: 

“Maybe because she’s a black woman.”

Or maybe it’s not sexism or racism, but the fact that Rice — with her clear history of dishonest public statements— has totally altered her story.
 
Two weeks ago, she insisted she knew “nothing about this” and was “surprised to see reports” about unmasked information.

Now, in a friendly interview with NBC’s Andrea Mitchell, she denies unmasking anyone’s identity “for any political purposes” — which basically confirms that her claim to know nothing about unmasking was far from true. Moreover, published reports stressed that the transcripts “contained valuable political information.” 

You can see why so many in the media want to discredit this story: They’ve been eagerly relaying leaked info from the transcripts that makes Trump and Co. look bad.

To acknowledge the clear political motive behind those leaks, and behind Rice’s “unmasking,” is to admit that Team Obama abused intelligence data — and that its media friends were complicit in doing so."
