Media critics erupt after Russia bounty story fizzles: 'Nonsense from the beginning'
In yet another example of a dramatic mainstream media narrative imploding, the intelligence community has backed off reports that Russia placed bounties on the heads of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.
A thread by conservative writer Drew Holden showed the extent of the coverage last year, with MSNBC, CNN, the Washington Post, the Associated Press, ABC News, NBC News, Reuters, NPR, and a host of others giving the story credence. In one story, CNN called the story "richly reported."
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, a leading proponent of Russia-related conspiracy theories during the Trump era, passed the story along as true to her viewers, calling it a whole new level of "bad." Joy Reid, another MSNBC host known for disseminating conspiracy theories, also accepted the story without question.
Hmmmmm, and here we are told that the press is necessary to keep an eye on the government. Seems more like the MSM is the one that needs watching.......
