Mueller and the Press are responsible for their own actions...

So recently there has been a call for censorship. As it has been with the spoiled rotten self centered liberals for some time, they always feel that it's their right to say what's on their mind, and then their freedom of speech requires that everyone else shut up and listen. The concept of freedom of speech going both ways, seems to escape their attention.

Currently, this attitude is prevalent with both Special Counsel and the Media.  The left would like everyone to stop saying anything bad about Mueller and his probe, and of course they would also like people to stop picking on the press. In other words, they want to censor anyone who would dare criticize or question either.

But the truth of the matter is that both Mueller and the Press are responsible for their own actions, and it is imperative that people call them out when those actions are not on the up and up.

Let's start with Mueller. First and foremost, who Mueller "was" or how you want to "define him" has absolutely zero relevance to his actions as Special Counsel. So whenever you hear someone preface their point with an accompanying resume about Robert Mueller, you can assume that their point otherwise doesn't resonate.  Robert Mueller should be (and for the most part is) being judged on his actions. His reputation or history is meaningless as it pertains to how he is actually running his probe.

Reality. If Robert Mueller didn't want to be accused of running a biased probe, then he should not have loaded up his team with anti-Trump agents, many of whom have obvious ties to Hillary Clinton. That should be common sense.  The fact that Mueller did load up his team with people tied to Clinton is his own fault The criticism that comes from this is his own doing.  It's a matter of censorship to demand that such criticism not be leveled.

If Mueller didn't want to be criticized over no knock raids with cooperating witnesses, or possibly making an illegal grab of (legally defined) private communications, than he should have gone through more reasonable methods to garner his information. He made the controversial moves, and he is responsible for the criticism that comes with that. 

As far as the media goes, this is really simple. They need to get things right. Not 50% of the time. Not 75% of the time. Not 90% of the time. Not even 99% of the time. They need to be right all of the time. If they cannot verify that some big scoop is 100% correct, then they do what the media "used to do" and they wait till they can verify the story as 100% correct, and then they run it.

As long as the media insists on running stories that are not verified, and as long as they are willing to make mistakes to be first on a potential scoop, then they deserve all of the criticism that they receive. All of it.  If they do not want to be criticized for getting things wrong, then they need to get them right, 100% of the time.

The bottom line is that Mueller is running a probe that is garnering a lot of criticism for being potentially biased, and for using questionable means to obtain information. This criticism is valid, and based on Mueller's own actions. The Media is being criticized for reporting news stories that are wrong, and for showing strong anti-Trump bias.  The criticism is valid, and based entirely on the actions of the media themselves.

Defenders would like you to shoot the messengers.
