YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The media has had a pretty difficult week when it comes to their credibility, because after months of promoting the Russiagate narrative uncritically, they’re now finally being scrutinized for their irresponsible and reckless coverage after three CNN journalists resigned and issued a major retraction on a newly-published Trump-Russia story that turned out to be bogus. Additionally, after maintaining that all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies concluded Russia hacked into the DNC and John Podesta's emails, The New York Times finally issued a correction stating just four intelligence agencies have actually come to this conclusion. Furthermore, The Guardian, Forbes, and The Washington Post (among other outlets) have all jumped on the Trump-Russia bandwagon without scrutinizing the details (or simply asking for evidence) and were forced to retract main portions of particular Trump-Russia stories they published. After all of these embarrassments, people seem to finally be waking up to the fact that the mainstream media is publishing unfounded allegations regarding the #Russiagate narrative for one reason only: money. Why? Because sensationalism sells.
