Editor's Note (a "preface")Part 1: " INTRODUCTION: ‘I REALIZED EARLY ON I HAD TWO JOBS"--much outright fabrication here on the part of the Hillary Clinton campaign re: Russiagate via Fusion GPS. Interesting that anti-Trump RNC figures also gave it a try, but with less success than Hillary. Ends with Trump's first week and attempt to mend bridges with media.Part 2: "CHAPTER 2: THE ORIGINS OF FAKE NEWS". Steele Dossier publication, credibility, and aftermath. WaPo and Michael Flynn story. NTY fabrication of Trump-Russian Intelligence contacts during mid-2016, mis-characterization (fabrication) of credibility of Steele dossier sources. To me, this marks the advent of the Trump Derangement Syndrome (understandable to despise him, but, you know, journalistic principles should matter) and Russiagate hysteria that has flowered into our dangerous new Cold War. And so far, the role of the DNC in these fabrications seems to have subsided, maybe because the TDS (and increased NYT subscriptions post-2016 by anti-Trumpers) made it unnecessary. NYT and WaPo violations of journalistic integrity explode.
Comey testimony, Adam Schiff shenanigans, Manafort and Carter Page story issues, firing of Comey. So this covers the first months of the Trump admin to May 2017. Part 3: "A CONTESTED PULITZER"
To April 2018. Trump interview on Comey firing with NBC's Lester Holt, and inaccurate MSM spinning of that interview fuels Russiagate hysteria. Mueller investigation finds no collusion so shifts to "obstruction." WaPo breaks story that Hillary lawyer hired Fusion to produce Steele dossier; NYT journo on Twitter attacks WaPo article's veracity. Flynn pleads guilty to lying about Russia contacts, and MSM insinuates it's the tip of the iceberg in an avalanche of "walls are closing in" Russiagate "conspiracy" speculation (interesting details on Flynn's case later finding "exculpatory evidence" before Trump pardoned him). Next, the very sketchy FBI (Strzok and McCabe) Papadopoulos investigation "scoop." House Intelligence Committe GOP Chair Nunes releases memo in Feb 2018 condemning use of Steele dossier in Carter Page FISA request. NYT trashes it and praises Dems' response; DOJ IG later agrees with Nunes. Then, April 2018, WaPo and NYT win Pulitzers for Russiagate reporting and the fallout. One of my top-3 favorite independent journalists, Aaron Maté (interviews Taibbi in the 5-minute video linked on top), gets a mention for his pushback. Showtime airs a documentary lionizing the NYT coverage called The Fourth Estate. Robert Redford/Sundance and other documentary projects involving WaPo are quietly dropped in the face of the centrality of the now thoroughly discredited Steele dossier.Part 4: "HELSINKI AND THE $3,000 RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN"
July 2018 Trump-Putin summit and the "Russian meddling" claims. Amazing omissions in NYT and Maddow reports on Trump interview on the subject (WaPo has consistently emerged as less unscrupulous than the NYT so far, albeit still guilty of extreme bias by burying counter-evidence left out by NYT in the bottom graphs of its own reports). Trump on Bolton (funny) and on his sanctions of NordStream II. Times runs “The Plot to Subvert an Election” bombshell alleging "Russian-backed" IRA swayed the election via FB and Twitter adds (since thoroughly debunked on several levels, but ignored by MSM, as the article goes on to substantiate, resulting in polls showing 47% of Americans and 72% of Democrats still believe Russian ads swung the election to Trump). Cohen lies about Trump business deal negotiations in Russia, media pounces with unjustified "bombshells." March 2018: Barr summarizes Mueller investigation results after Mueller fails to redact his report for release; Mueller leaks a condemnation of Barr's report to the press, sparking more Russiagate outrage--but also schisms in the liberal media, with Yahoo's Isikoff attacking Maddow for promoting the Steele dossier so uncritically and constantly. MSNBC stops inviting Isikoff to its broadcasts, lol. Redacted full Mueller report released weeks later claims Russia possibly hacked DNC email trove to Wikileaks (debunked by retired top CIA analysts, Ray McGovern and William Binney, at Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity/VIPS, though not mentioned in this article), further dimming Assange's hopes of ever escaping his confinement and extradition to the US). Media seizes on the Manafort-Kilimnik relationship to continue the collusion narrative, despite no evidence for Kilimnik's relations to Russian intelligence bodies.
"Chapter 5: The scandal that never ends"
Dem congresspeople and voter belief in the collusion story rises to 84% after the Mueller report! Dems want to impeach Trump now for "obstruction." July 2018, House Judiciary Committee questions Mueller to much fanfare. It fizzles. Next day Trump calls Zelensky to ask for dirt on Biden."Chapter 6: The two January 6ths"
"AFTERWORD"
