As good as this story is, the bigger story being missed by the press is how MSM is abdicating its role and becoming complicit in the kinds of sins it used to relish exposing.
That happened a long time ago. I dont know exactly when, but I became aware of it in the early 1980s, and have seen examples from the Viet Nam era. Ann Coulter wrote that the trashing of Joe McCarthy in the 1950s was an example of this.
Point is, its not that they are now abdicating; it is that they have been despicable villains for decades.
As for Coulter, she is dead on correct about McCarthy. The media was driven to villify him as part of their pro-Soviet agenda. They also had to villify Hoover too, and others. And they got LOTS of help from the KGB in doing it.
The same thing with the Vietnam War, the protest of which- and assault upon by the MSM was really financed from abroad through “pacifist” front groups that were set up by the Sovs and never had any problem co-opting reporters in America.
It’s pathetic how bad it has gotten. You have to be certifiable to believe ANYTHING that comes out of the DC MSM. There is simply no credibility there.

I have been trying for years to draw attention to the way the Soviets worked to exacerbate our drug problem, but I can’t get anybody to believe me.
