Some rare media integrity, courtesy of @BuzzFeedBen, acknowledging Mueller's conspiracy findings were at odds with BF's reporting on Cohen. If only other media figures were willing to do the same. Echo chambers - having no critical voices to challenge - ensure that's unnecessary.
I spent 2+ years debating & discussing Trump/Russia with everyone I could find who *disagreed* with me: last week with @cenkuygur & @samseder, today with @DavidKlion, tomorrow (again) with @DavidCayJ. Did it twice with Jim Risen from my own news outlet. It's how to stay honest.
Media figures who sealed themselves off from challenge, questioning & dissent - who just fed their audiences what they wanted to hear without ever having to confront critics - created a journalistically unhealthy & corrupt bubble that fostered error, groupthink & conspiracies.
