As Trump tries to remove Putin's long-time ally from power in Venezuela & stop Germany from buying Russian natural gas, MSNBC should put Jon Chait on again to talk about he's been totally vindicated in his blackmail fantasieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKZU68q_o9E& …

Journalism professors wanting to examine why trust in the profession has collapsed - deservedly so - should just show this article: by someone claming his unhinged conspiracy about Trump being groomed since 1987 as a Soviet asset has been *vindicated* http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/04/my-article-saying-trump-was-compromised-by-russia-was-right.html?utm_medium=s1&utm_campaign=nym&utm_source=tw …pic.twitter.com/C56MOBdW54

Trump has: * pressured Germany not to buy Russian natural gas * acted to remove Putin's ally in Venezuela * gave lethal arms to Ukrainians * bombed Putin's ally in Syria * punished diplomats & oligarchs Mueller: charged nobody with conspiracy Chait: I've been proven right!!!

There is & has long been a mountain of evidence negating the Putin-controls-Trump conspiracy theory: continuous acts by Trump against the Kremlin's most vital interests. That Chait can write an article claiming vindication without even *addressing* this shows the state of media:pic.twitter.com/ZwIzXVnjJJ

What Chait & NY Magazine are doing is not just embarrassing but hugely damaging to the ability of journalism to function - just as was true of Maddow & MSNBC. Journalists are supposed to hold *all powerful factions* accountable: that includes media outlets. But they often refuse.

Due to careerism and/or rank-closing common to many professions, as well as a sense among journalists that Anything Goes in the face of the Trump Threat - even making up lies & conspiracy theories - many journalists refuse to call out this dishonesty, so the damage continues:pic.twitter.com/kF1mVJOhfL

Lying abt your real estate project in moscow while running for president is apparently not indictable and therefore is great and there's no corruption no corruption you're the corruption

It’s almost like being a liar and a conman doesn’t automatically also make you a Russian asset.

Counter intelligence investigation is not the collusion investigation. We have heard nothing on the CI elements of the investigation. Why the lol?
