1/ MSNBC et al were exponentially the worst, but Russiagate media reckoning doesn’t stop there. It includes major left/adversarial outlets like @MotherJones, @theintercept, @democracynow, & yes, a few colleagues at @thenation. We too need to account for partaking in the failure.
2/ I’ll get into specifics when I get the time, but here to me is the most salient illustration: the go-to Russiagate analyst on @democracynow — aka the go-to left show — was @emptywheel, aka one of the biggest promoters of the failed conspiracy theory.
3/ A commenter reminds me: I forgot @TheYoungTurks . They def are right up there. To their credit, they have @jimmy_dore on their network, who pushed back like no other, & they hosted debates, including w/ me:
4/ And of course -- goes without saying -- @Vox @Slate @Salon @Alternet @RawStory @vicenews @Vice and I'm sure many more.
5/ and of course -- sorry long day -- @TheDailyBeast @BuzzFeedNews @ThinkProgress
