Did the media botch the Russia story? A conversation with Matt Taibbi.
“In purely journalistic terms, this is an epic disaster.”

“In purely journalistic terms, this is an epic disaster.”

That’s how Rolling Stone columnist Matt Taibbi described the media’s coverage of the Trump-Russia story to me in a wide-ranging interview last week. I reached out to him shortly after he published an excerpt from his forthcoming book, Hate Inc., which excoriated the press for the way it handled allegations that Trump was colluding with Russia during the 2016 election.

According to Taibbi, the news that special counsel Robert Mueller won’t be issuing any further indictments, along with the revelation that he found no compelling evidence for collusion, amounts to “a death-blow for the reputation of the American news media.”

But is that fair? Did the press, in fact, blow this story?

Disgusting how that lacky Illing keeps going back to "but but but" throughout. He just can't own up to any truth at all.

 

[Mac1958]

Taibbi has this absolutely nailed, and the Left isn't thrilled about it.

This is been a freakin' psychosis.

I apologize

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team indicted or got guilty pleas from 34 people and three companies during their lengthy investigation, which is now complete.

That group is composed of six former Trump advisers, 26 Russian nationals, three Russian companies, one California man, and one London-based lawyer. Seven of these people (including five of the six former Trump advisers) have pleaded guilty.

If you also count investigations that Mueller originated but then referred elsewhere in the Justice Department, you can add a plea deal from one more person to the list.

It’s a sprawling set of allegations, encompassing both election interference charges against overseas Russians, and various other crimes by American Trump advisers.


I apologize for calling trump disgraceful and deplorable every time he MOCKS, RIDICULES, INSULTS and DENIGRATES military personnel, john mccain, people with disabilities....

I apologize to Hannity, who was COMPLETELY WRONG when he INSISTED all through the LEGAL and SUCCESSFUL Mueller investigation that "it was a witch hunt and the investigators were so biased they couldn't be fair!""

Boy....was HE wrong.....(Have yet to see or hear him apologize)

Did trump ever apologize for mocking the disabled?
or Mccain?

I apologize to decent people everywhere that indecent people have elected an unabashed liar who makes a mockery of the most important position in the free world.

Hope you are satisfied.....

And my apology is sincere!

How many were indicted over Russian collusion?

 

[MisterBeale]

PRICELESS VOX, absolutely priceless. . . .


". . . . I was watching Chris Matthews yesterday, and he was basically saying now that collusion is off the table, we’re just going to have to win the election, as though that’s the first time that thought ever occurred to him. That should’ve been the thought on day one. How do we correct the fact that so many people chose Donald Trump as president? And not, how do we get him out of office prematurely?. . . . "

No shit Socialist establishment?

No shit.

It's clear you didn't read the article.

Indictments DO NOT equal guilt. When some of the indicted showed up to trial;

". . . The indictments of the Russians, which first of all aren’t proof, they’re just allegations, they very specifically didn’t make a connection between the Internet Research Agency and the Russian government, so that piece of it was not really reported all that well. It quickly became, “The Russians attacked us.”


Well, what does “The Russians” mean? Is it anybody in Russia? Is it necessarily a Russian government operation? Perhaps. Probably. We don’t know for sure. It could be, absolutely, but I don’t think that’s been established. And I think there were some other issues with that story as well. When Mueller prosecuted all those people, one of the really fascinating things that happened with this case is that nobody expected any of them to go to trial, and yet one of the defendants actually showed up in court.


And Mueller was so taken aback by this that he asked for a continuance to the judge and claimed that he wasn’t ready to prosecute, even though he had just filed the indictment, and the judge didn’t allow it. And so that suggested that Mueller never expected to have to actually substantiate all those charges. So it could be true. It could definitely all be true, but I don’t think it’s ironclad. I don’t think it’s been nailed down. It’s just a theory.. . . "

Admit, HERE, NOW, you have been brainwashed!

If there was jail for bad journalists and bad comedians, these two should get about 20 years each.

In the same cell! I can't tell you how much I detest these two psychopathic clowns...especially Colbert who has made his living off the right the way a tick survives on a dog's butt.

If not for Trump he would be bagging groceries in New Jersey somewhere.

I have a whole list in progress - all the phony progressives who went insane over Russiagate and Donald Trump being elected. Maddow and Colbert top the list next to Chuck Todd, Morning Joe, Bill Maher and half the crew at CNN. As for late shows, imo Jimmy Fallon isn't as bad on the Trump koolaid as the others- he gets a pass for now.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

By the way I can't believe that Vox, of all sources, would produce such a sharp mea culpa from a clever, if not always reasonable, guy like Matt Taibi.
The left has victimized itself by wanting the Russian collusion hoax so much to be true they actually believed their own lies.

They call themselves the party of intelligent people but they are unfortunately also the party of self deluded emotionally damaged people. It's not a good combination.

That's funny. I was elated when Trump won and so was my wife. We sat up and watched all night and will again in 2020.

I would lock her up in solitary with Don Lemon for at least a year with reruns of Celebrity Apprentice on TV 24/7.

Now that they've cried wolf for 2 years and nobody's watching or listening , we have nobody to hold our government accountable, even in theory anymore. Just great. Like the Titanic crew that had just realized they were about to smash into a giant iceburg, I guess you might say "we're fucked ."

yes. YOU would lock her up.

No trial.

No LEGAL BASIS!

Because locking people up WITHOUT A FAIR TRIAL is something that freedom loving constitutionalist conservatives would do......right?

If the Mueller investigation was a "witch hunt" how do you explain;

"Along with a team of experienced prosecutors and attorneys, the former FBI director has indicted, convicted or gotten guilty pleas from 34 people and three companies, including top advisers to President Trump, Russian spies and hackers with ties to the Kremlin. The charges range from interfering with the 2016 election and hacking emails to lying to investigators and tampering with witnesses."

Would you have preferred that these people just get away with it?

is that how conservatives are "tough on crime"?
