In reply to the discussion: Leaked Audio of Sen. Joe Manchin Call With Billionaire Donors Provides Rare Glimpse of Dealmaking [View all]Budi
(15,325 posts)48. Well that's rather damned accusatory.
You claim to know I didn't read the article?
Gee wiz!!
Excuse me here. He wasn't just wrong about something in the past, Grim WROTE the media play-by -play for that Tara Reade bullshit story.
To damage the image of a candidate who was not his own preference.
THAT is blatant lying via the Media to sabatoge the reputation of a targeted candidate.
He shoved that Tara Reade lie he helped concoct, rapid speed out to every MSM & Social Media market he could.
And where's the lying Ms Reade now?
She's a guest host on Russia Today.
Where & however DID Ryan Grim meet up with the lovely Tara Reade in the 1st place?
He wasn't just wrong about 'something', He Created The Lie.
And people protect him. Geezus krrriiist.

I'm wondering how Grim got this "leaked audio" of a private meeting? Seems convenient to me.

I used to think the Intercept was too libertarian. But it's not rated as right wing.

If Ryan Grim can produce the actual video to go with his own personal "play-by-play", then sure.

It's not the 1st time Grim has done a sleazy dirty deed with half ass 'reporting'.
