I'm still not sold on this Russia thing as much as a lot of others are. Clinton was under investigation for a long time by FBI and nothing came of it, what if this is all for naught and then the media loses what trust they had left and the resistance basically dies.

Until some REAL proof comes out we don't know anything, and American media is quick to jump on stuff cause of ratings. Not like they have enabled some lovely stuff in the past (looking at you WaPo and NYT)

Edit: Syria news.

I read these three articles and I'd like to point out that none of these articles are conflicting. Intelligence was gathered: it was not significant. Greenwald tries to be cute and sensationalist, as if there's no room for discussion or interpretation al all.

But there is room for discussion, there are 3 different views about this raid and no one wants to budge. Also almost all the info is from anonymous sources so who the gently caress knows is saying this poo poo.

Explain to me how these articles represent three different views, and not three views that are more or less the same, but with different headlines.

Because not everyone carefully reads every article infront of them and if they start seeing headlines with 3 different things being said they're going to start thinking 'hmm maybe trump is right'? And maybe they shouldn't say little to no evidence found when to some people, that might be the evidence needed to justify the raid?

Edit: I would love it if trump is in Putin's pocket, but I'm not going to start believing it until something empirical comes out

You're absolutely justified in being suspicious of all of this and not taking it immediately as the gospel truth. Ultimately, the media is concerned with getting your eyeballs onto their words so they can justify their existence to advertisers and make money. Holding the powers-that-be accountable is secondary to that, and it's sort of a happy coincidence that the two are lining up right now.

There's a lot of smoke and no fire right now. Whether that's because there's a lot of people making up bullshit and having it accepted, a lot of people leaking poo poo out of political revenge, or because stirring the pot is the one way to get the public pissed off enough to start forcing Congress (i.e, the one body who can actually do anything about this) to actually do their jobs and investigate remains to be seen.

As far as there not being any concrete evidence of anything, consider the following: The House of Representatives has already said they're not going to investigate or hold anyone accountable for any of the Russia stuff so far, and there's nothing to suggest that it's on anything other than a partisan basis. Similarly, the FBI is not providing any answers to any questions that the Democratic members on the House Intelligence Committee have. You can view this in a few lights.

A: "Okay, the GOP doesn't want to hold anyone accountable and the FBI under Comey is complicit in this"
B: "This is one gigantic pile of nothing and nothing's going to come of it"
C: Comedy :tinfoil: option of "Comey's not saying poo poo to anyone because he needs to keep everything tightly under wraps because of who's involved"
D: Fill in your own here.

There are some people are going to think this is a partisan witch hunt up until there's a literal video involving Trump, Putin, hookers, and piss, and they're likely the same people who are going to unfailingly support Trump. What needs to happen is that these connections to Russia need to be investigated by someone outside of the executive and legislative branch, and currently, the number of Americans supporting investigation into this is growing with each new story.

If the Trump administration is actually innocent and can prove that this is a partisan witch hunt, it would be the single greatest advantage Trump could ask for because then there's clear proof that the media/intelligence community/everybody outside of his inner circle and Breitbart are out to get him, and that will sway millions more people than nebulous "A senior official said a thing..." accusations ever will.

That last part is what Im afraid of. If they turn out to be wrong, everyone is hosed. It's not worth it to be pushing this hard if the outcome isn't certain cause the consequences are much, much worse.

No, he hasn't.

Greenwald is the first to get super histrionic about U.S. IC and military capabilities without a hint of context. But as soon as any smoke circles start appearing that say maybe, just maybe, the FSB was loving around in the U.S. Election, he's suddenly the cautious journalist telling everyone that there's no proof and that anyone asking the administration to be accountable is being delusional. David Simon called him out for his stupid schtick yesterday. He's the first person to scream that the NSA and the U.S. Intelligence community have dark motives upon first discovery of the PRISM program without any evidence of it's actual use as well as fabricating outright falsehoods, like his original claim that all U.S. Manufactured network devices had backdoors installed in them by the NSA. He later retracted that one, after clarifying he meant that the NSA was intercepting networking hardware before it was delivered and installing the backdoor themselves, but the damage was done.

Regardless, he's a histrionic tool and his whole "Well everyone needs to stop being delusional. It's just democrats being sore losers, there's no proof" :smugbert: routine is loving retarded coming from him.

It's almost like he hasn't forgiven the media for the way they walked right into Iraq? Dude has different views than a lot of mainstream reporters, some of who have done A LOT more damage than he has
