When did Rolling Stone quit writing about doper musicians trashing hotel rooms and start thinking they were some kind of journalists? I hated that fag rag back in the 70's and it has even less credibility now.
The piece in the OP is nothing but an advertisement for Holder's documentary movie. They probably didn't even have to subpoena him for it and now every dickhead will run out and buy the movie.
Actually RSM has a ton of journalistic credibility with 55 years (and counting) of reporting under its belt.
It's the same with publications like The New York Times (171 years in publication) and The Washington Post (145 years).
And so on.
Publications simply do not stay in business this long by printing "fake news" or by employing sloppy journalistic standards.
Only by impeccably accurate reporting.
But it is a well known fact that the first thing fascists do when attempting to take over is start discrediting the free press.
They try to convince you that the press can't be trusted. Only what the Party tells you can be relied upon.
They make the lies BIG, and they tell them often enough to confuse the populace as to what the truth actually is, paving the way for a total ban on free and accurate news until Only propaganda is allowed.
This type of thing happened in Germany in the 1930's.
People like YOU would be perfectly content to see it happen here too.
It starts with you trying to discredit REAL journalism.
