By the way, I don’t accept any distinction between “political scandals” and other scandals. All scandals involving the US government necessarily have a political dimension. This (phony) distinction obscures more than it reveals.

Since wealthy elites own substantially all the media, the biggest scandal is whatever they say it is. Makes perfect sense.

A presidential administration secretly selling arms to embargoed “enemy of the state” Iran fund an illegal war in Central America behind Congress’ back doesn’t even make the top 10.

It also exposes their lack of knowledge of US history.

He's right you know. Obama's DOJ illegally spied on Clinton's opponent while it helped cover for her criminal email server. The media peddled every single bit of their BS for two years plus, and they haven't stopped yet. The "Democratic" party is now red baiting progressives.

Like that time in 1867 that Andy 'pocked' a million Bucks when he bought Alaska from the Russians and sold it within hours to the US government.

Ostensibly, the reporting of the Trump/Russia connection (or lack thereof) is the real scandal

When our government jailed people who protested US involvement in WW1 and slandered then with treason.

It’s a big scandal, not for the reasons Axios cites bc 1) It was created by Mook et al to distract from DNC failures & crimes/reckoning w these 2) MSM breathless coverage 4 2+ years to exclusion of legit concerns re Trump & all else 3) used to attack legit criticism eg

American/NATO imperialism & economic terrorism is the greatest threat to the world & the Pentagon's missing trillions & CIA/Mossad involvement in 9/11 is the biggest scandal in American history

it may not be due to warped perception, might just be plain ignorance. most of my own still very limited knowledge about american scandals and atrocities was self-pursued and definitely not from school or tv.

It’s immaterial, all scandals involving the American government have some political dimension. The claim is beyond preposterous

In the sense that it’s still being hyped after being investigated for nearly 3 years, it’s true.

"Biggest scandal in American history" is about as hyperbolic as you can get. However, both sides fuel this. At least half the nonsense spewed daily about Trump/Russia is from Trump & his obsequious pundit army. They as much as anyone push this to the forefront of the news cycle.
