I find it ironic that Matt Taibbi, Glen Greenwald, and Jill Stein share similar views that Russia is

unfairly being attacked, and their reasoning is not that much different then the logic being used by the republicans in this supposed "earth shattering" memo

A year ago Matt Taibbi justified his position by saying because we were lied to regarding WMDs in Iraq, that means the Russian interference accusations are lies:

"Something About This Russia Story Stinks
Nearly a decade and a half after the Iraq-WMD faceplant, the American press is again asked to co-sign a dubious intelligence assessment"

"In an extraordinary development Thursday, the Obama administration announced a series of sanctions against Russia. Thirty-five Russian nationals will be expelled from the country. President Obama issued a terse statement seeming to blame Russia for the hack of the Democratic National Committee emails.

"These data theft and disclosure activities could only have been directed by the highest levels of the Russian government," he wrote.

Stein and Greenwald took a similar but slightly different tack. They maintain that there is no compelling evidence to believe that Russia was interfering in our election, and involved in collusion, implying the same logic that Taibbi used,.

Julian Assange meets with Roger Stone, tells us that "Adam Schiff Is "Not A Credible Person,", and calls what Schiff is doing as neo-mccarthyism, one really has to question WTF is going on with these supposed "liberal" journalists and politicians?

4. bought, or so blinded by their bias that they cannot think clearly

[oberliner]

2. They are the worst of the worst

Awful people.

[still_one]

5. That is of course subjective, but I think it is obvious that their personal bias has clouded their

ability to analyze a situation clearly

[oberliner]

6. They trashed Hillary relentlessly throughout the presidential campaign

Jill and Glenn in particular.

[still_one]

9. understood, this my statement regarding their personal bias clouding their reporting, or in Jills

Stein’s case false equivalency between Hillary and trump

[MineralMan]

3. Well, given that they are all in Putin's pocket,

what would you expect?

[still_one]

11. Whether knowing or unknowingly makes little difference, because if they

had a failure to recognize they were being used, that would represent a major flaw in their reasoning abilities

[dlk]

7. Kompromat is Everywhere

[OhNo-Really]

8. Taibbi what a loss. 😏

[Tatiana]

10. Blackmailed.

Russia has spent a lot of rubles to erode trust in our institutions (elections, free press, government etc.).

[Anon-C]

12. Agree 100%!-nt

[ismnotwasm]

13. Pig-fest trough opportunists.

Especially Jill Green. Greenwald can’t seem to understand his golden boy Assange basically overplayed his and and lost. Taibbi reminds me of a hack.
