?If credibility is the lifeblood of journalism, the Mainstream Media is
dead.?
Ashley Rindsberg, investigative journalist and author of ?The Gray Lady
Winked: How the New York Times?s Misreporting, Distortions and Fabrications
Radically Alter History,? outlined the broad strokes of the Russian Collusion
narrative that was manically propagated by the mainstream media and then
quietly ignored after its claims were categorically discredited.
In January 2023, the Columbia Review, a highly respected journalistic
publication, published an in-depth review of the ?Russiagate? scandal written
by industry veteran Jeff Gerth. Gerth concluded that every major claim made
about the Trump campaign?s alleged collusion was false. ?Let?s step back and
consider what this means: for some five years, the Mainstream Media, the New
York Times, The Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN fed a grotesque lie to
the public, that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to subvert an American
election.?
A similar fact pattern would emerge in many of the allegations ? initial
sourcing from opposition research or highly disreputable sources would be
referenced by the FBI or other government agents in anonymous statements to
the media, who would then parrot the claims as if they were credible because
the FBI was investigating them.
These claims include:
? Allegations that Trump campaign advisors George Papadopoulos and Carter
Page were Russian agents
? Allegations that Trump had close ties to Russia and Vladimir Putin
? Allegations that Trump was financially connected to the Russian Alfa-Bank
"There were 533,000 articles published about Russia and Trump during just the
22 months of Special Counsel Robert Mueller?s investigation into Trump?s
alleged involvement with Russia,? Rindsberg noted.
The Washington Post and The New York Times were both awarded Pulitzer Prizes
for their reporting on the Russian Collusion story, reporting that was later
revealed to be poorly sourced from ideologically motivated actors or
completely fabricated evidence such as the Steele Dossier. Neither
organization returned their prizes, and there has been little coverage of
Gersh?s expos? in the mainstream press.
?Journalism is no longer about gathering the facts and presenting an accurate
picture of reality,? Rindsberg said. ?It?s about choosing sides.?
Rindsberg notes that this approach is the opposite of good journalism and it
has completely destroyed the credibility of once-venerated outlets and
institutions.
?The only Trump era collusion that has been proven was between the Mainstream
Media, the Hillary Clinton Campaign, the Democratic Party, and elements
within government agencies,? Rindsberg said. ?Together, they did more to sow
discord between Americans than Russia could have ever dreamed of doing on its
own.?
