“You Said Nothing When…”

This copy/paste masterpiece is going around on Facebook right now. It claims “the media” didn’t report on various things (mostly during the Obama and Clinton presidencies), therefore “the media” is “such a joke” for reporting on Trump and impeachment possibilities now. Here’s the post, along with articles showing that yes, the “liberal MSM” DID say something.

I Submit That The Media Be Prosecuted For TREASON, For Creating A Completely FALSE Narrative About Our President Trump. I Have NEVER Seen Such Vitriol & Hatred! We Finally Have A Commander In Chief Who Is Doing GREAT Things To SAVE This Country, Yet All MSM Wants To Talk About Is Impeachment! WHAT A FREAKING JOKE… What About:
