1- No, @jonathanvswan - it gets much worse.

What's worse is while corporate Media parroted obvious bs, a handful of conservative journalists & Internet sleuths put this story together years ago.

Durham isn't new news to any of them, it's just confirmation (cont).

2- How is it that a random Internet sleuth put the coming Danchenko arrest together months ago, but the entirely of corporate media couldn't make that connection?

3- Instead, throughout all of #RussiaGate, you gave yourselves Pulitzers while ignoring real journalism. You acted instead as stenographers for a cabal of bad actors.

4- Yes, the real story of #RussiaGate is big. It's that the real collusion was between the Hillary Clinton campaign and Russia, to sabotage Donald Trump (first his campaign, then his presidency).

It was the mother of all ratf***ing, the use the famous Watergate term.

5- But the bigger story is the 4th Estate as an institution completely and utterly failed. People can no longer trust you all to defend the truth, no matter which political party that helps or hurts.

6- Consumers turned to social media & smaller news outlets because that where the last bastion of real investigative journalism was occurring.

Your problem is not Facebook and Twitter, it's that you left us no alternative but to go to Facebook and Twitter.

7- Censoring Facebook to put the horse back in the barn won't help. The only thing that can fix our broken Media industry is an Adolph Ochs level re-commitment to truth-telling.

I won't hold my breath.
