"So many were taken in so easily because the dossier seemed to confirm what they already suspected."
Journalists weren't "taken in".
They worked willfully w/the Clinton campaign & the Intelligence Community overturn an election. nytimes.com/2021/11/15/opi…
2) As he asks "where did much of the press go wrong?" @bgrueskin inadvertently engages in exactly what he purports to criticize:
"There is no doubt that Mr. Trump had long curried Mr. Putin’s favor"
3) "When a well-known liar tells you that something is false, the instinct is to believe that it might well be true."
"None of this should minimize the endemic and willful deceptions of the right-wing press."
4) "Addressing the shortcomings over the dossier doesn’t mean ignoring the corruption and democracy-shattering conduct that the Trump administration pushed"
Media never cared about truth.
But they do care that they've been exposed as the IC stenographers they've always been.

"We have significant concerns about the adequacy of NIH oversight of EcoHealth and the related research activities at the WIV and other organizations in China." republicans-energycommerce.house.gov/wp-content/upl…
"NIH also failed to report EcoHealth’s noncompliance and grant suspension into the SAM.gov database that alerts other U.S. Government agencies to risky grant recipients..."
"NIH, USAID and Department of Defense (DoD) have paid EcoHealth more than $23.4 million in new and renewed assistance awards since April 2020, when NIH should have reported the administrative action it took against EcoHealth’s grant."
2) EcoHealth failed to provide NIH w/contractually obligated 2019 fifth-year report until this month.
But EcoHealth’s 2018 report should have immediately alerted NIH that agency money was being used to create coronaviruses that were far more pathogenic than the original viruses.
3) The 2018 disclosures by EcoHealth highlight two problems:
1) EcoHealth had already violated the terms of its grant.
2) The fact that EcoHealth made the NIH aware of the results of its gain-of-function experiments in 2018, placed an inherent oversight requirement on NIH.
Even Michael Isikoff knows: “When you actually get into the details of the Steele dossier, the specific allegations, we have not seen the evidence to support them...some of the more sensational allegations will never be proven and are likely false."
Article notes that researchers have created a laboratory virus that “does not exist in nature” and that “important information and insights can come from generating a potentially dangerous virus in the laboratory.”
Farrar sent email to Collins & Fauci w/@zerohedge - Coronavirus Contains "HIV Insertions", Stoking Fears Over Artificially Created Bioweapon
Zerohedge banned by Twitter next day.
Collins, as Fauci's boss, has somehow managed to evade attention.
Collins email to Farrar on 1-1-20: “Hi Jeremy, I can make myself available at any time 24/7 for the call with Tedros. Just let me know. Thanks for your leadership on this critical and sensitive issue. Francis.”
A detailed two-part timeline that provides an in-depth look at events that led to a global pandemic, and the ensuing cover-up of the virus’s origins. theepochtimes.com/infographic-co…
2) The timeline is composed of two parts:
- The primary timeline of overarching events - in the years leading to the pandemic & events that followed.
- A secondary timeline that walks through detailed events of the days surrounding Fauci's secret teleconference on Feb. 1. 2020.
3) Our exploration of this topic led us to create an ever-growing timeline - increasingly used in our research as the information flow became almost overwhelming.
As the timeline became increasingly valuable to our work, we discussed the option of getting a public version out.
The CHS, who appears to have meaningful knowledge of Steele’s and Fusion GPS’s activities, gives the FBI a list of "individuals and entities who have surfaced in [the investigative firm's] examination.
2) Aug 2 - A supervisor of the Counterintelligence Division shares information that had been provided in late July 2016 by a confidential human source with Jonathan Moffa, who then provides the information to Strzok, Pientka, and the supervisory intel analyst on the same day.
3) Mid-Sept: McCabe tells Pientka not to have any further contact with an unknown former confidential human source (CHS) who reached out to the FBI in late July 2016 and appeared to have personal knowledge regarding Steele’s election reporting and sources.
