In the wake of the Friday indictments of Russians by special counsel Robert Mueller, several media outlets have found a highly disingenuous way to continue attacking President Donald Trump as claiming collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign is a "hoax" or "fake news." Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosensteini explicitly stated they presented no evidence of collusion in the indictment, but somehow, he made trump's "hoax claim harder to sell."
An example of an MSM story ignoring the specifics of Trump's "hoax" charges appeared in the Friday New York Times in Indictment Makes Trumps Hoax Claim Harder to Sell:

Bloomberg says that Mueller refutes Trumps claims that Russian meddling was a hoax. Of course Trump never said that the allegation that the Russians were meddling was a hoax. What he said was that the allegation of Trump campaign collusion with the Russians was a hoax. I think Muellers indictments support Trumps claims.
Trump and all republicans said from day one the Russians were interfering. Some of the details in these charges were available to lawmakers long ago. What is also consistent is that the campaign was not involved and it had no impact on the outcome.
That claim was made by Schiff. The man is a liar.

Quelle surprise. Like he encouraged violence at a rally, or encouraged Russia to hack the DNC, or in his interview with Holt, said he fired Comey to make the Russia investigation go away (he said the opposite).
The press lies like a rug. See "the snake," 1st amendment version.
investigate the FakeNewsMSM relentless attempts to influence the election on behalf of Hillary Clinton. and their refusal to accept the outcome when they failed.
quantify that and compare it with the fantasies about a few Russian trolls on FB ... or something.
The self-proclaimed “newspaper of record” has revealed itself to be nothing more than a mendacious propaganda rag. History has recorded this
Despite their excellent business reporting, Bloomberg is as shockingly and virulently anti-Trump as anyone or anything I have ever heard.
Many good points in this story but why is it that so many political news blogs are so burdened by pop ups and refreshing ads that you cant read the darn story without the page crashing at least twice?
Thanks PJ-Comix.
I heard Trump likes RUSSIAN DRESSING on his salad. Im totally series.
Thanks for that explanation. Its really annoying. Theres sites like Townhall or the Hill that I used to read occasionally and have now completely given up on. Sadly the New York Times loads perfectly every time.
The problem is also compounded by pop-ups and ads and other stuff working behind the scenes. A computer Geek could probably explain it better than I can.
The New York Times should be renamed - something like: ‘We R Useful Idiots’... With the “R” backwards like in ‘Toys R Us’...
