Speaking to @IChotiner, @chrislhayes says that the Russiagate "craziness and paranoia" that his network promoted for 3+ years is really -- you guessed it -- Russia's fault: "I don’t want to lose sight of their agency in producing that state of affairs." newyorker.com/news/the-new-y… 
.@Chrislhayes: "remember when I brought @jonathanchait on my cable TV news show to ponder whether Trump has been a Russian intel asset since 1987? Russia made me do it -- I don’t want to lose sight of their agency."
It gets better: not only does Chris now blame RUSSIA for his network's unhinged 3+ year Russiagate conspiracy theories, he also compares himself, Rachel Maddow & MSNBC colleagues victimized by Russia's "seed" to the BLACK PANTHERS being targeted by COINTELPRO. 😂
Bonus: to excuse MSNBC's Russiagate insanity, we've blamed Russia & compared ourselves to Black Panthers. Let's throw in some epistemological jargon too: promoting conspiracy theories nightly "is actually fairly endemic, and part of human-information processing at all times." 🤔
