The liberal media establishment is in full panic mode, and for good reason. In recent days, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has unleashed a document dump that threatens to bring down the entire house of cards they've spent years building around the Russian collusion narrative, including those at the very top, like Barack Obama. What these documents reveal isn't just embarrassing for the media; it's potentially criminal for those who orchestrated what amounts to a political coup attempt against a duly elected president.
The evidence is damning and undeniable. Barack Obama didn't just sit idly by as intelligence agencies conducted their assessments of Russian interference in 2016. Instead, he actively ordered a new intelligence assessment in late 2016, specifically designed to support the Russian collusion narrative that his administration and Hillary Clinton's campaign desperately needed to legitimize their attacks on Donald Trump.

The original intel assessment found Russia lacked the ability to sway the 2016 election as Democrats had claimed. But that didn’t serve Obama and Clinton’s narrative, so Obama pushed for a new assessment, one that conveniently included the Steele dossier, a Clinton-funded document filled with Russian disinformation.
Think about the breathtaking audacity of this operation. Obama weaponized America's intelligence agencies to include known Russian disinformation in an official assessment, then used that tainted assessment to justify surveillance of the incoming Trump administration. The plan was elegant in its simplicity: create chaos through targeted media leaks and maintain a steady drumbeat of collusion allegations to delegitimize Trump's presidency from day one.
The media's response to these revelations tells you everything you need to know about their complicity. CNN anchors are having on-air meltdowns, desperately trying to dismiss evidence Gabbard has released.

They can scream all they want, but the evidence is AS CLEAR AS DAY.

NBC News published what can only be described as a propaganda piece, accusing the Trump administration in its headline of trying “to rewrite the history of the 2016 election” and trotting out the usual parade of former intelligence officials — all conveniently left-leaning — to support that narrative.
NBC’s latest spin is laughably desperate. They cite a “bipartisan” 2020 Senate investigation to claim Russian interference, but leave out that their key witness was Lisa Monaco, an Obama loyalist who sat in on the infamous 2016 meeting where Obama ordered the Trump takedown. She wasn’t a neutral source; she was part of the operation.
The media’s panic is impossible to miss. Their obsessive Trump-Russia coverage wasn’t the result of bad intel; they were willing participants. Leaks, bogus “analysis,” and a steady stream of disinformation were all part of a coordinated effort to overturn the 2016 election. And then, adding insult to injury, they gave themselves awards for their coverage of the hoax.

The real scandal isn’t just that this hoax hijacked years of political discourse and needlessly strained U.S.-Russia relations. It’s that it marked a direct assault on democratic governance. Obama didn’t just spy on a political opponent; he weaponized the intelligence community to fabricate a justification, then fed that fiction to a complicit press that repackaged it as “news.”
The documents Tulsi Gabbard released back up Trump’s long-held claims of Deep State targeting, and they expose a disturbing alliance between the Obama administration and the legacy media. This wasn’t politics as usual. It was a soft coup attempt that nearly succeeded.
And now, with the truth breaking through, expect the media’s meltdown to escalate. Admitting the facts means admitting their role in one of the most egregious political scandals in American history, and their already fragile credibility simply won’t survive it.
