      1/ In April 2017, I wrote that @Maddow has become a propagandist on Russiagate -- pushing conspiracy theories while omitting countervailing information. (https://theintercept.com/2017/04/12/msnbcs-rachel-maddow-sees-a-russia-connection-lurking-around-every-corner/ …) . Here is a stark example from yesterday:

      2/ Noting news that Michael Cohen billed Trump camp $50k for “tech services”, @Maddow wonders if that's actually his reimbursement for paying off Russian hackers. Steele dossier, she reminds us, accuses Cohen of meeting Kremlin reps in Prague to do so: (https://twitter.com/MaddowBlog/status/1032446940817043456 …)

      3/ Amazingly, she omits that on her *own network* just hours earlier, Cohen’s rep, Lanny Davis, categorically denied the Steele dossier’s Prague allegation, telling @chucktodd that Cohen was “never, ever” there:https://www.msnbc.com/mtp-daily/watch/full-lanny-davis-interview-cohen-was-never-ever-in-prague-1304432195563?v=railb …

      4/ So you’re going to speculate that maybe "tech services" means Cohen being reimbursed for paying off Russian hackers in Prague, but not mention that Cohen’s own attorney just told your network he was "never, ever" in Prague? How is this not straight-up propaganda?

      I'm more skeptical of the dossier than Aaron. I just wish he came close to upholding the standards he wails about Maddow or me allegedly not upholding.

          I've never wailed against you, Marcy. We've had substantive disagreements -- including a new one now on how you could think I'm less skeptical of a dossier that I think is 100% garbage! I've always acknowledged, btw, that you've been skeptical of it from the beginning.

          This thread started as a wail bc you didn't like the factually backed view presented on TV.

          Don’t you mean factually omitted?
