So I just looked at CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX news website front pages.
Fox has three stories covering this propaganda email thing. Their top three stories.
None of the other networks have it on their front pages.

So for all the criticism that other major networks are falling for this nonsense, it looks like (at the moment) maybe they really aren't.
Of course the reality is that if GOP members of Congress start talking about it incessantly, major press will have to cover it. This is exactly why Russians have been successfully targeting GOP members of Congress with their propaganda.
You know I'm going to go a step further and say that the very rapid way in which all MSM (besides Fox), and Facebook and Twitter all backed the fuck away from this story indicates to me that they all found out something about it that proves it's toxic.
If all these outlets simply found that they were unable to confirm the story, that would not be enough for them to do a complete blackout. I'm really guessing they have information that explicitly contradicts it.
And now I find myself getting my hopes up that this whole thing could spectacularly blow up in Trump's face.
