The Lies of Michael Wolff

There has been the usual and expected sound and fury from The Elite Media Monoculture concerning the new “book” from Washington insider (((Michael Wolff.))) Naturally the release of this “book” has had the effect of stimulating the leftists and elites to their usual frothy and spittle inducing rage to which we have become so accustom. (and which has become so tiresome)

As usual, however, we find that this “book” seems to be largely a fabrication from the mind of its author detailing not what is, but rather what the left and the elites would prefer reality to be. In other words, if it is a narrative you seek rather than the world that is, this “book” is for you.

At The Hill Sebastian Gorka brings us this essay in which he pulls apart some of the obvious lies from (((Mr. Wolff))) and shows us just how flimsy the most recent construction of the left really is and why no one of serious mind should give it any credence. Remarkably the “author” himself writes in the prologue to this “book” that nothing in it can be verified or proven and that the contents must be evaluated by the reader who will have to make up their own minds as to whether (((Mr. Wolff))) is telling them the truth or not. If you want to be taken seriously as a scholar and author, this is not the way to achieve that goal.

Unless we had a preexisting relationship, I didn’t trust any journalist. And if you came from an outlet that belonged to what President Trump calls #FakeNews, I really wasn’t interested in becoming your friend. To those few persistent journalists from news organs like the Washington Post who wouldn’t give up, I was upfront: Sorry, I don’t do “deep background” and I’m using my phone to record this conversation.

As a result, you’d never see Jim Acosta coming out of my office or Maggie Haberman buying me an espresso at Peet’s around the corner from the West Wing. So, when I met Michael Wolff in Reince Priebus’ office, where he was waiting to talk to Steve Bannon, and after I had been told to also speak to him for his book, my attitude was polite but firm: “Thanks but no thanks.” Our brief encounter reinforced my gut feeling that this oleaginous scribe had no interest in being fair and unbiased.

Now, the chattering classes are gripped in an hysterical fever over Wolff’s tell-all book, “Fire and Fury,” with Wolff actually saying that its publication will bring down the duly-elected president of the United States.

I refuse to buy the book of a man who so avowedly holds what, in a previous age, we would have called treasonous goals, but I have read the publicly released excerpts and therefore feel that we can all draw some practical conclusions.

First, Wolff is a partisan self-promoter with credibility issues the likes of which we haven’t seen in a very long time. We are used to Washington being divided, but the contents of this politically-motivated publication are so obviously false that the “swamp” has descended to a new unimaginable low with its release.
