The first 3 paragraphs from the @CJR review of the press's extreme mishandling of Russiagate, by Jeff Gerth, Pulitzer winner for NYT, now retired.
In sum, the press was shocked Mueller found "no evidence" to support their core conspiracy theory, but did no self-examination:
In sum, the press was shocked Mueller found "no evidence" to support their core conspiracy theory, but did no self-examination:
"The damage to the credibility of the Times and its peers persists" -- as a result of its Russiagate failures (for which they were pathetically lavished with Pulitzers) and their refusal to engage in any self-examination. It's a long, nuanced review:

From @CJR: "Today, the US media has the lowest credibility - 26 % - among forty-six nations, according to a 2022 study by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism."

I have some quibbles with this @CJR story but it's one of the best comprehensive accounts yet of the pervasive lying and deep corruption that drove the media's Russiagate hoax.
So amazing how many of these media outlets refuse to comment. Transparency for everyone except them.
