You know the nets are screwing this one up when the president of a media company steps away from his daily duties to slam their obvious political pandering. That’s just what happened on Bret Baier’s show. Baier spoke with Real Clear Politics president, Tom Bevan Tuesday, and let’s just say the biased coverage isn’t going unnoticed.

Baier began by pointing out the inconsistencies, “it depends on what you were looking at or what you were reading, how to interpret the results of the latest finding by John Durham in the investigation into the Trump Russia probe,” the host explained. “The revelations did not sit well with some in the mainstream media. Some downplayed them, others just ignored them,” Baier continued.

The host then played multiple clips of the obnoxious flurry of inconsistent coverage the Durham probe has received:

KATELYN POLANTZ [CNN CRIME AND JUSTICE REPORTER, NEW DAY]: This new wrinkle, it really is just a wrinkle, and it’s very vague. We’re still trying to get a sense of what the facts are here.

EVAN PEREZ [CNN SENIOR JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT, INSIDE POLITICS]: It does show the actual spying that Trump and others are saying it does.

TOM WINTER [MSNBC MORNING JOE]: If you’re gonna call it Watergate, it’s that the security guard at the Watergate, while being paid to do security to see just who was coming in. It doesn’t mean they were going through their briefcases, it doesn’t mean it was going through the files that they were bringing in.

JOE SCARBOROUGH [MSNBC MORNING JOE]: If what they did had been illegal, we would have had a charge.

“The media double standard here is absolutely glaring. As you mentioned, Bret, no time spent on any of the networks. The New York Times, The Washington Post didn’t even cover it until today, when they each spent about 1,500 words defending it, downplaying it, explaining why it wasn’t a big deal,” Bevan explained.

Bevan added, “The media has again revealed itself as putting their thumb on the scale for one side and not the other.”

The interview is much more damning. I’m just giving you the highlights. You can watch the video below.

BRET BAIER: Well, it depends on what you were looking at or what you were reading, how to interpret the results of the latest finding by John Durham in the investigation into the Trump Russia probe. It is still coming out, we are still learning more. However, the revelations did not sit well with some in the mainstream media. Some downplayed them, others just ignored them.

After we just spent years and years of the media running with far less. I mean, if this was any sort of filing regarding Donald Trump, it is all we would be hearing about from the media, day in and day out. And so that to me is the troubling issue here. The media has again revealed itself as putting their thumb on the scale for one side and not the other.

BAIER: Tom, how does this poll? You know, it’s interesting to hear Democrats say – and we had Congressman [Adam] Smith [D-WA] on last night saying, you know, people care about more important things. But rewind the tape, you know, a few years to the early part of the Trump presidency, and it was all about the Russia investigation.
