On Thursday afternoon, Media Research Center President Brent Bozell led a team of a dozen conservative leaders in demanding the major broadcast networks fulfill their "duty to the American public" and end the censorship of the Clinton/Russian uranium deal.
Nearly identical letters were each sent to ABC News President James Goldston, CBS News President David Rhodes, NBC News President Noah Oppenheim.
In each, the leaders demanded the three networks report on
"what may be one of the most wide ranging scandals of our time" and
"a story of Watergate-like significance with wide ranging national security implications involving officials at the highest levels of power in the U.S. government."It also included a breakdown of media coverage thus far with a
pitiful 20 seconds on the October 24 ABC's World News Tonight and a scant "
99 seconds of coverage in a 69-second Q&A on the October 22, Face the Nation and a 30-second mention on the October 25,
CBS This Morning" (links added). Shamefully, NBC has yet to cover the story on any of their newscasts (
Meet the Press,
NBC Nightly News, and
Today).
Bozell was joined in the signing the letter by the following leaders: Citizens United President David Bossie, FreedomWorks President Adam Brandon, Let Freedom Ring President Colin Hanna, American Commitment President Phil Kerpen, Frontiers of Freedom President George Landrith, Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund Chairman Jenny Beth Martin, Clifford May, Americans for Limited Government President Richard Manning, Foley and Lardner LLP Partner Cleta Mitchell, Esq., American Family Association Director of Governmental Affairs Sandy Rios, American Principles Project Executive Director Terry Schilling, historian and Reagan biographer Craig Shirley, and Conservative HQ Chairman Richard Viguerie.

New study shows staggering disparity in media coverage around Uranium One, DNC-dossier storiesThis too is a nothing-burger, although it's understandable why US conservatives have hung their hat on it: their democratic opposition, with the backing of the Deep State establishment, have used 'ties with Russia' as a vehicle with which to bash Trump and keep him in line, thus keeping the US Empire on course (towards its total destruction, but they don't know that).
Putin explained - in plain, simple, non-hysterical language - what this uranium deal is actually about
in his recent speech at Valdai 2017 (where leaders from around the world in the fields of politics, media and business met to discuss future global governance without the US, which has apparently lost its mind).
The US and Russia made arrangements in the early 90s to 'civilize' their nuclear warheads by selling it to each other for use in nuclear power plants. This way, the process could be openly monitored. The only Clinton connection to this overarching deal is that Slick Willy happened to be president at the time. There's no scandal here. It's
being 'scandalized' now because all things Russia are 'bad'.
The vast majority of political news coming out of the US these days is - to again borrow a phrase from Putin - paranoid political schizophrenia.
