Final Thoughts: Mainstream media blindly dismissing wiretap story

While I agree that little comes out of both sides that isn't biased, I think that's not necessarily a bad thing. Very few people are capable of reporting on the news in such a way that they don't give away their personal biases. Ted Kopel was the guy I considered to be the best at that. I would trust him to give me the news in an unbiased manner. But guys like him are rare.

Since people in media are more inclined to show their biases, I think the best thing is for them to be open and honest about their biases. And I think the right is far better at that than the left is.

While I do not disagree with what you are saying, I do think that there has been a fundamental change in the mindset of journalist and within journalism. I think there are multiple reasons behind this, not the least the 24 hour news cycle and news media moving more toward entertainment, but those are excuses. The one good thing for We the People, the access to raw information has never been greater. That access is what opened my eyes to just how biased and corrupt our current batch of information gate keepers really are.

Well, if other intelligence agencies speak against this and there is literally nothing behind the accusation except Trump's word for it, then there is nothing to this.

There is no reason for anyone who doesn't apriori accept this as a thing, to accept this as a thing. You'd essentially have to argue that people should accept Trump's word at face value.

Who are the credible sources you reference?

The last election cycle has revealed how corrupt and biased most media propagandist really are?

The problem with intelligence agencies is that while they're supposed to remain apolitical, they don't because the heads are appointees of the sitting POTUS. Then there are the stories you see about the Secret Service agent and CIA agent who resigned because they "couldn't serve in good conscience" or whatever lame excuse they used.

Well, the conservatives were all about how great the FBI is when they were going after Hillary; so perhaps what they have to say about Trump's accusation is relevant? Oh..

Well, let's look to where Trump got this information from to begin with. Breitbart, a white nationalist syndication. Whew. Hard choice on who to go with on this one.
