That the Trump/Russia conspiracy theory was ever allowed to take such firm hold in the populace is one of the most shocking media failures in modern history. Those few who saw through it from the beginning, like Aaron, deserve praise and recognitionhttps://twitter.com/aaronjmate/status/1103329218572767234 …

What I find most shocking isn't that this is happening and how many within the U.S. are wholly unaware that it is, but more, among those who are aware, such shock that it's happening - as if there's no long history of this basic U.S. propaganda practice.

It also diverted resources from good reporting. The msm created a news dessert for the mob, while it focused on the oasis which was actually a mirage. In coclusion, everything is dead, and I'm thirsty. Boom, my analogy for the year.

It set a precedent for the intel community to undermine other presidents who were elected on a foreign policy agenda contrary to the intel community's imperialistic doctrine.

Not just that. Look at how the oligarchs treated Trump, whose crime was being crude and sort of part of a different faction of oligarchs. Now imagine how they would treat an actual progressive were one to get elected. Electoral politics is a dead end....

Geoff Shepard: "one of greatest disservices post Woodward/Bernstein... reporters want byline to be connected to news stories... hype disclosures that aren't that important... desperate for readers..."http://bit.ly/2HkJNVc

I always loved the line “sources familiar with the matter”...which means what? What sources? How are they familiar? With what “matter”? Hogwash! How many millions of dollars wasted on this, that could have been used to actually help people?

Oh you, Michael, always insisting on being so "factsy." I will say, though, that it was a qualified media success because they have been able to keep it going 24/7 pretending we have opposition in the media elite and that
#MSM is "reporting news." Love your stuff, man. -

It was bad because better relations with Russia would be good for the whole planet and that sunk to a new post Soviet low so there's that!!

Exactly, resulting in both Russia and the U.S. cancelling arms reduction treaties.

How bout because it was used to advance a soft deep state coup attempt?

The media went from mocking Trump’s insistence that an election could be “rigged” to unanimously accusing him of rigging the election with Putin.

Yes, but it felt good to people who wanted emotional salve after their icon lost an easily winnable race.

The US political class squandered an enormous amount of international political capital for the sake of a temporary internal political gain. It will be a long time before any Russian leader trusts anything their US counterpart says.

I don't even think the people who 'subscribed' to it, believed it. It's Only A Game. I have enough friends in dc and donor class (both sides) to know it was pre-planned

I agree with you.

Yes, but proof that the major news organizations were banding together to flat out lie and plot together to discredit
@realDonaldTrump is even worse! It shows collusion on a scale that most Americans wouldn’t have believed if they hadn’t seen it happen.
