MSNBC and CNN spent four years endorsing the most deranged conspiracy theory imaginable, one with very toxic roots in the Cold War:..... namely, the McCarthyite script that the Kremlin had taken over control of key U.S. institutions through sexual blackmail over the President, invasions into the nation’s heating system and electric grid, and criminal conspiracy between Moscow and the Trump campaign to hack into Democrats’ emails.
All of that was false, just as the one-month tale told over and over by the media about a pro-Trump mob murdering Brian Sicknick by bludgeoning him to death with a fire extinguisher was false — a story which remains unretracted or corrected by most who spread it.
Yup.
Glenn is one of very few honest journalists on the left. I don’t agree with his politics but I respect him, and he this penned almost right. I only wish he had called it what it really was.
The rest of the mob, including the shills at the NYT are what author Jack Cashill has called “firemen.”
