The indisputable reality is @MZHemingway, @ChuckRossDC & a handful of other journalists skeptical of Russiagate conspiracy theories were far more reliable than CIA mouthpieces at CNN/MSNBC & WPost who got rich with books & showered themselves with awards: https://thefederalist.com/2020/05/08/obama-biden-oval-office-meeting-on-january-5-was-key-to-entire-anti-trump-operation/
There were a small group of journalists on the left & right --
@aaronjmate, @mtaibbi & @mtracey -- were also among them, whose reporting & questioning were vindicated, while the roster of ex-security state agents & award-drenched CIA dupes spread falsehoods & lies for years.

Whether the Russiagate conspiracy theories were true never had anything to do with ideology or politics. It was only about *evidence*.
But the US elite media is so polarized along partisan lines - especially those who feign neutrality - that it became the tribal litmus test.

The refusal of the CNN/MSNBC/WPost/CIA media to cover the devastating new evidence impugning key Russiagate pieties proves what they were doing: not journalism but propagandizing. Covid-19 is no excuse because they cover other things. Their audiences don't know these docs exist.
"There is absolutely a subculture of conspiratorial thinking among Democrats, or the broad anti-Trump coalition. I would a hundred per cent concede that" -- @ChrislHayes to @IChotiner, today:
Here’s just a small sample of what liberals puked up after I cited Chris Hayes’ interview acknowledgement that there’s a conspiracy-crazed sub-culture among #Resistance Democrats, and after one of their idols, David Frum, amplified it.
An enduring sickness among US liberalism:

And a bit more here. This is what MSNBC and CNN hosts, with a couple of exceptions, have been feeding American liberals for three years plus. The WPost & CIA have added the gas. They have contaminated Democratic brains with deranged conspiracy pathologies that aren’t going away:
Now that the delusional blogger — **who shamefully turned in her own source to the FBI voluntarily** while journalists cheered — has chimed in, applauded by Rovian operative Rick Wilson, you’ll never guess what is being churned out.
It’s a sad, deranged collective pathology:

I think the most shameful episode of Russiagate insanity - which is saying something - is US journalists *cheering* a blogger who *voluntarily* turned FBI informant & ratted out her own source. Nothing came of it except a complete inversion - destruction - of journalistic ethics.
