Resistance Journalism in the Trump Era
Glenn Greenwald is a member of an exclusive club of intellectually honest , far-left anti Trump journalists who saw through the entire Russiagate collusion hoax.
“Russia, Russia, Russia…”
Transcripts released last Thursday from the misnamed U.S. House Intelligence Committee seemed to indicate that Obama administration officials said one thing on TV and quite another while under oath.
Year-end is a time for reflection and all sorts of lists. With that in mind, the Daily Caller compiled a list of what it considers the greatest, i.e., the worst, hate crime hoaxes of 2019 that the mainstream media pushed as legit. See the video embedded below.
The media’s assessment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s July 24 testimony about Russiagate on Capitol Hill changed considerably within 48 hours of its aftermath. News outlets and pundits hostile to President Donald Trump (are there any other kind?) initially described his out-of-touch, uniformed presentation as a disaster. It was a disaster for those beating the impeachment drum, anyway.
By virtually all accounts, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the “author” of the Mueller Report, came across like a uniformed, absentee landlord in his Capitol Hill testimony on Wednesday about alleged Trump-Russia collusion in the 2016 presidential election. As such, the momentum among House Democrats for a Trump impeachment as a result of this disaster seems to have stalled.
There is increasing momentum among House Democrats across ideological lines to impeach U.S. President Donald Trump. That is the contention of journalist Michael Tracey.
Russiagate turned out to be “Deflategate” in that the Mueller report deflated the 24-7 media narrative that the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin. Against that backdrop, Aaron Maté joins an exclusive club, consisting of Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Michael Tracey, and Caitlin Johnstone and just a few other anti-Trump, left-wing/progressive journalists essentially concluding that the whole thing indeed was an establishment/media-driven hoax, if not a coup attempt against a sitting president.
In the aftermath of the release of the Mueller report, news media agencies have engaged in retrospectives about their coverage of the Russia collusion investigation. These circle-the wagons analyses have ranged from “we did a good job” to “we did a really good job.” Thus, based on their behavior so far, Trump foe Matt Taibbi, a contributing editor for the far-left Rolling Stone magazine, expects that media outlets will learn nothing from what he described as the Russiagate fiasco.
Special Counsel Mueller’s report released today concluded that there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Nor was there any obstruction of justice by President Trump. But does there need to be a further inquiry into collusion?
