      I wrote a column for @NewIndianXpress on how failure to hold accountable bad media actors complicit in the Iraq/WMD debacle -- such as @jonathanchait, @JeffreyGoldberg, and @davidfrum -- enabled them to perpetrate the Trump/Russia debacle years laterhttp://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2019/apr/15/how-the-us-media-failed-in-russiagate-1964457.html …

      The New Indian Express is a major newspaper based in Chennai, India. Happy to contribute. But would also observe how conspicuous it is that foreign publications seem far more eager/willing to examine the US media's incalculable failures on this story than many US publications.

      US publications are unwilling to engage in self-reflection because almost all of them were intensely complicit in the failure. That's why it'll take foreign and independent media to conduct the kind of thorough, painful audit that is so desperately needed.

      I would also note that journalists have professional/social incentives to not criticize one another too harshly. These people are notoriously petty and remember any slight for years. One unkind word and your career prospects could be toast. That's why the whole system is screwed.

          I wish David Halberstam was still alive to see this, His book The Powers That Be covered perhaps the only time in history where the press even tried to get it right.

          Why not delay victory lap by a couple days until the report comes out. Bill “There was spying” Barr is whitewashing. Lot of grey areas.

          This is a great point. Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan hired 10 people from the local media to his staff, and the administration has been treated with kid gloves. Right @Charlieleduff

          This sounds similar to the current situation in the comic book industry, which has spent an inordinate amount of its energy in the past year or so demonizing critics and pursuing petty revenges, culminating in court action over tortious interference. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/206-comics-and-graphic-novels/77638383 …

          Matt Taibbi refers to DC media as a high school. Sounds about right.
