      Michael Tracey Retweeted John Sipher

      John continues to have a hard time comprehending the point, which is that he and other CIA/intelligence colleagues have been ascribed quasi-journalistic credibility since 2016. I'm against such officials having an outsized role in shaping public opinionhttps://twitter.com/john_sipher/status/1135741482478911488 …

      So only journalists can be authorities? By the way I don't claim to be an authority or expert but I know a damn lot more than you do about intelligence and Russian subversion.

      No one's arguing that John and his ilk should be legally prohibited from speaking. I'm arguing that they should not have been granted such an outsized, quasi-journalistic role in framing news events. History shows that's highly "problematic," to put it extremely charitably

      But then again, elite American media has lost all sense of history since 2016 -- because we're allegedly in a period that's Not Normal -- so they've engaged in all kinds of conduct, such as amplifying and *hiring* intelligence officials, that they would've shunned in years past

      "I know a damn lot more than you do about intelligence and Russian subversion," Sipher claims. It's on that basis that he's assumed this quasi-journalistic authority, constantly cited as an Expert in the media and empowered to shape public perceptions of news events

      Sipher leveraged this claimed authority to argue in the NYT that Trump did in fact "collude" with Russia, citing the 2016 Trump Tower meeting as evidence for this. Mueller has dispelled any notion that the meeting constituted "collusion." So sorry John, I reject your authoritypic.twitter.com/bQo7GJTHTl

          1. The public needs to be more media literate, which would your core concern 2. There is a place for expertise in this conversation 3. You once again conflate a declination decision on criminal conspiracy w/ collusion

          You appear to conflate “authority” with “expertise”. These two things are not quite the same...

          I agree troll-heartedly but prefer the overt CIA domestic public opinion operations to the covert.

          The collusion narrative & “investigations” had/have nothing 2do w Russia. If they did, for a start, someone investigating “Russian interference” wld ask @HillaryClinton some questions. Nobody called alleged @dnc server hack an attack until @POTUS won.
