I try to monitor various programs in CNN and MSNBC- but it is frankly getting hard to do- for the fundamental technique in their efforts to push their own self-serving and dangerous agenda is so blatant- that it is really hard to deal with.
In watching the MSNBC and CNN prequels to the U.S.-Russian summit, I was amazed at how they continue to assume the guilt automatically of anyone accused of wrongdoing by our intelligence agencies. In the case of the special prosecutor's indictment of the 12 Russian military intelligence officers, the continuing conclusion of reporters and analysts in their media organizations was that these officers did this crime- and it was at the behest of Putin. I have two problems with this.
