Mainstream Media Turns on Beto After He Announces His Run For the Presidency

I have stated in the past that I believe that Kamala Harris has been pre-selected as the Democrat candidate for president in 2020. The latest bit of evidence that is the case is the mainstream media turning on “Beto” O’Rourke immediately after he announced a run for the presidency:

Reuters reported late on Friday night that their reporter who broke the story about Democrat Beto O’Rourke belonging to a hacker group had the story for two years and agreed to sit on it until after O’Rourke’s Senate race against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).

The report, published early on Friday, documented O’Rourke’s involvement in a hacker group named “Cult of the Dead Cow,” and included multiple past writings from O’Rourke, some of which were described as “disturbing.”

“After more than a year of reporting, [Joseph] Menn persuaded O’Rourke to talk on the record,” Reuters reported. “In an interview in late 2017, O’Rourke acknowledged that he was a member of the group, on the understanding that the information would not be made public until after his Senate race against Ted Cruz in November 2018.”

Menn says that he learned about O’Rourke’s involvement in the group after he decided to write about the hacking group, which he called “the most interesting and influential hacking group in history.”

…

One particular piece of writing from O’Rourke was especially troubling as he described mowing down children in a car.

Beto was a media darling previously, as I wrote about here, when he was running against Ted Cruz. The media gave him a tsunami of fawning, laudatory coverage despite him having done nothing to earn it, while covering up negative stories about him. That same media has fallen upon him like rabid wolves, however, because he’s now been judged to be a threat to Kamala. Another hit piece claims Beto makes women “uneasy.”

Beto joins other left wing candidates interfering in Kamala’s bid who have been savaged by the media, including Howard Schultz and Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard continues to be attacked by the media.
