Mayor Dave posted:Or focusing on collusion in 2016 instead of the way Russians laundered money through Trump properties, or his tax fraud of overstating assets and losses, or the self dealing from his foundation, or any if the other dozens of petty corruptions that this administration commits daily all of those stories are reported

i never paid too much attention to the mueller stuff so I always thought it was more about white collar business crimes than literally thinking trump was a kgb agent

euphronius posted:all of those stories are reported At a fraction of the rate the Mueller collusion story is though, that what his point is Like, basically every night for the last two years maddow has dedicated her a block to tracking down every possible Russia connection in 2016, and if she talks about other scandals at all it's loaded to the back half of the show when segments are 2 minutes or shorter

Lum_ posted:I thought his take (which I agree with) is that there's plenty of stupid grift TROMP et. al. engage in, but the media is lazy and just wants to talk about Russia plots instead of actual journalism Yeah, Taibbi's position is that the media and Democrats hosed up by focusing on the accusation of Trump being a Russian agent to the exclusion of all of his many other crimes. They focused on the Russian spy thing because pretty much every rich person does every thing Trump does, to some degree. If they actually tried to go after Trump for laundering Russian money through his real estate, whoops that's the entire NYC real estate industry caught up too, for example
