Hedge Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) I am fully aware that there are many regulars on PPP who don't need this advice. Perhaps, however, this will help some of the lurkers, should they be coming across this same situation I am. And with what I *think* is going to be happening in the next few months, there may be a lot more confused people, flailing to try and make sense of what is occurring. With the recent summary release of the Mueller report, I have had numerous discussions with friends, family, and co-workers who are a little bit shell shocked as to the findings. During the course of our discussions, it was not at all uncommon for some of them to say "Well, I'm going to go see what CNN says about it.". When I question why they are willingly running back to the outlet that has been blatantly lying to them for years, the typical response is an incredulous, "Where else should i go?". I do not give blanket statements of support to any publication, but below I have put together a list of sources I typically will provide of those who nailed the Mueller Report. I also think it's important to keep the list fairly short. These are ordered alphabetically by first name (Journalist : Association : Twitter): Chuck Ross : The Daily Caller : https://twitter.com/ChuckRossDC Jeff Carlson : The Epoch Times : https://twitter.com/themarketswork John Solomon : The Hill : https://twitter.com/jsolomonReports Kim Strassel : Wall Street Journal : https://twitter.com/KimStrassel Mollie Hemingway : The Federalist : https://twitter.com/mzhemingway Sara Carter : Fox News : https://twitter.com/SaraCarterDC I am also just including their Twitter, since they self-promote their pieces. It's also important to know your audience, as the majority of people who get their "news" from CNN, will turn off any willingness to listen when they hear any major association to Fox News. But, for those willing to be yelled at yet for 50 minutes, I also include: Sean Hannity Tucker Carlson Here is another one who almost made my list, but I think he is to screechy to introduce to people who are just now waking up to the truth: Brian Cates : The Epoch Times : https://twitter.com/drawandstrike I am curious, however, if any of you were to swap out sources in my initial list of 6, who would you replace them with? ***************************************************************************************************** ***Below is a work in progress and contains other source suggestions from our PPP community*** Individuals: Catherine Herridge : Fox News : Articles Source: https://muckrack.com/catherine-herridge/articles (no Twitter account) Andrew McCarthy : National Review : https://twitter.com/@AndrewCMcCarthy John Batchelor : Independent Radio Show/Podcast : https://twitter.com/batchelorshow Sharyl Attkisson : Investigative Reporter : https://twitter.com/SharylAttkisson Margot Cleveland : The Federalist : https://twitter.com/profmjcleveland William A.

It might lend a little more credence to his position because of his past history. So if he and Piers can articulate just how rabidly stupid the Left was during their 2 1/2 year tirade of TDS tantrums, it just makes it all the more sobering. And that’s what the Left needs to do now - sober up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
