Are you talking about the connection between the CIA and the media?
Perhaps. What came to mind was the fake news about that Russian dossier. If the media knew it was fake and was just carrying the Democrats’ water keeping those lies alive, was that conduct in the public interest?
It’s one thing to report and you didn’t know you were wrong, learned you were wrong and corrected your reporting.
But to know something is false and keep up the falsehood?
