You asked: When did the Russians ever push the narrative that Trump was in collusion with them?
Excellent question, and you see how effective the MSM has been in getting many to just accept, as truth, ideas such as Russia pushing the collusion narrative. I believe Russia has just sat back and chuckled a great deal over the past 8 months, watching the Dems and the MSM churn out so many “unnamed sources” “facts” about this.
“...see how effective the MSM has been in getting many to just accept, as truth, ideas such as Russia pushing the collusion.”
I don’t think it’s the MSM’s effectiveness so much as their shamelessness and their utter failure to serve the public trust.
They claim the lofty and sacred mission of being the eyes, ears and voice of the people, an honest fail-safe against corruption.
Yet, they have given up even the pretense of honesty or objectivity.
People still believe their lies but that undeserved trust won’t last forever, and once lost it will won’t easily be regained.
I think by the time Trump successfully finishes his first term and proves the MSM lied and/or was wrong about virtually everything, the public will pull the plug and flush them out.
