      Convinced of their own righteousness, the Russia skeptics are conflating the speculative fantasy that Trump was a Russian asset with the entire field of journalism—while leaving out information that proves that the Russia story is anything but a hoax. http://bit.ly/2TA0yfL

      Replying to @HeerJeet @alex_shephard

      The only reason anyone cared about any of this was because of the possibility it would result in Trump no longer being president. This other stuff does not. The stuff mentioned in the article is only relevant because it hinted collusion might have happened. But it didn't

      If someone was accused of killing someone in a hit and run. A story that they were driving recklessly the weekend before might be newsworthy. But, if it turns out that person *didn't* kill someone in a hit and run, the story is completely unimportant.

      Counterpoint: driving recklessly is bad whether you kill someone or not.

          But it's not an interesting news story. That's the point. People cared about these stories because they thought it indicated Trump's removal from office was more likely. Just like the reckless driving indicated the specific driver might be the killer. W/o that angle, not news

          We all know voters overall didn't care about this story, even when collusion was a possibility. Without that, this is just like the republicans endlessly holding congressional hearings about Bengazi. It's not going to resolve anything or make any changes. And it's also boring.
