One of the most infuriating aspects of the Trump/Russia conspiracy mania was that Russians themselves - including liberals vehemently opposed to Putin - were highly skeptical from the start & kept saying so much US coverage was ignorant, but were ignored nytimes.com/2019/03/29/opi…
As that NYT op-ed by an anti-Putin Russian liberal notes, not only did Russians across the spectrum know that so much of the media discourse about Putin/Kremlin was pure ignorance, but pure xenophobia and bigotry against Russians as people flourished:
In 2017, I interviewed a Sanders campaign aide of Russian descent (formerly an Obama campaign aide) who - despite being an anti-Putin activist - described the xenophobia & bigotry that raged against in DC to the point where he & others couldn't work. theintercept.com/2017/04/19/a-s…
Creating a climate in which people from two nuclear-armed powers couldn't safely speak to each other because the US press corps & Democrats treated it as treason to speak with Russians was indescribably and unforgivably reckless & dangerous
