CJR's Russiagate Postmortem Ignores Independent Journalists Who Got It Right All Along

True.

   The ruling faction controls what information most people get. The MSM ignored the work of Aaron Mate, Taibbi, Greenwald--and Jeff Gerth. I don't think I was aware of the latter's work, either.

   Even the CJR story is being squelched, though.

   And, I think: they don't have to squelch it forever. They probably can't. They just have to minimize its impact long enough to take the edge off. I'd use the Venona decrypts as an analogy: so what if it comes out 50 years on that Joe McCarthy was right? That information is basically politically intert now. (Right--to be clear--in the sense that many of his accusations were true. Not necessarily in the sense that they were justified.*)

* Also, I must add, for the vindictively tribal: saying he was right in no way suggests that he was a good dude.
