Here are the top
mass media failures
( aka "Fake News" )
in President Trump -
Russia collusion
"reporting".
News outlets,
especially the worst two
( CNN and MSNBC ),
often delete their most
embarrassing moments
from the internet.
CNN and MSNBC
have deleted most traces
of the most humiliating videos
from the internet, including
demanding that YouTube
remove copies.
Why does this happen?
It happens because truth
is not a left wing virtue.
Note that all the “errors”
are in the same direction,
-- all criticizing

The Email which Trump, Jr. received,
that directed him to the WikiLeaks archive,

not connected to the U.S.
electric grid at all -- it had
nothing to do with Russia,
or with the U.S. electric grid.
Dishonorable Mentions:
(A)
ABC News’ Brian Ross was fired
for reporting Trump told Michael Flynn
to make contact with Russians
when he was still a candidate
In fact, Trump did that AFTER he won.
(B)
The New York Times claimed
Paul Manafort provided polling data
to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska,
a person “close to the Kremlin”;/
In fact, he provided data to Ukrainians,
not Russians.
(C)
Crowdstrike, the firm hired by the DNC
to investigate their computers,
claimed they had evidence that
Russia hacked Ukrainian artillery
computer applications ... and then
they retracted their claim.
(D)
Bloomberg and the
Wall Street Journal
reported Mueller subpoenaed
Deustche Bank for Trump’s
financial records.
The New York Times said
that never happened.

The U.S. media and Democrats
spent six months claiming that
all “17 intelligence agencies”
agreed Russia was behind
the stolen DNC emails.
The New York Times
finally retracted that
in June, 2017:
“The assessment was made
by four intelligence agencies
-- The assessment was not approved
by all 17 organizations in the
American intelligence community.”
