My theory: it was a combination of commercial incentives (the story drove huge ratings/clicks/views), a desire to maintain respectability with liberal institutions (MSNBC) for careerist reasons, blinding anti-Trump rage, and then some pure stupidity thrown in for good measure

Dude, if you actually watched those shows you wouldn’t say that. They all commented on updates that happened as the investigation went along, as you did as well, they didn’t turn it into a collusion extravaganza like msm did. Here’s something from tyt:https://youtu.be/UUqYA4uZxIM

I worked for TYT. This is a totally dishonest rewriting of history.

Not salty at all. I appreciated my time there and have always said so. And I made these exact same points publicly while I was employed there.

They at least had people on like Chomsky who consistently spoke out against the Russia hysteria.

Mocking Maddow etc is the superficial aspect. The fear is what many in GOP are pushing for: a special counsel to investigate origination. That’ll unmask Deep State scandals, but unless truth is exposed/there is accountability, that machine will move increasing against the left 2.

Didn't TYT receive a new round of investment during the time of the investigation?
@SamSeder will tow a line hoping that one day@MSNBC calls him again. A lot of us on the left stopped considering both@tyt and@majorityfm progressive a while ago as a result. -
I stopped considering TYT progressive when it first came out and I gave it chance thinking it was alternative. Quickly realized that a Republican who starts his own station to pretend he's progressive, isn't a progressive. He's interesting, sometimes reasonable. Not progressive.

Because the culture wars has become a zero sum struggle. This 'no quarter to the enemy' attitude doesn't permit investigation in a world that doesn't permit simple categorising. Also a journo/pundit should just have - not the left/right - but truth before them.

I'd be VERY interested in seeing even ONE example of where Maddow was "epically wrong" (and I remind you, we still haven't seen the Mueller Report or know just how much
#ObstructionOfJustice played a part in why he was unable to pin a "Criminal Conspiracy" charge on Trump.)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
