I said "speculation" not spin. NYT specifically said the negotiators "assumed" this, made an "apparent" conclusion. That's speculation

Can’t the same thing be said of their claim that Russia hacked the DNC? Do you think that’s false, too?

Also, you're inventing things. I'm uninterested in truth of negotiators claim. My arg is entire thing doesn't show what NYT claims.

I’m saying that the Russia/DNC claim is also unsourced and, by some definitions, speculative. It isn’t proven in the piece.

Sure. but that's not NYT standard. Also for primary claim: Russia hacks DNC, it's common intel lang.

I do think there's vast difference bt using intel "high degree of confidence" & "assume." The former is not speculation, NYT standard

Fair! That shouldn't be in there anyway. (But then, NYT proves it shouldn't be in that they disprove it ¶s later)

I feel like maybe you’re holding them to a higher standard than you’d usually expect, because you oppose TPP.

Did you really expect NAMED sources from US IC? Of course you did not.

Wait. YOU'RE the one harping on IC. Trade negotiators =/= IC.
