Matthew Yglessias: MSM doesnt think Trump did anything wrong with Russia and will scold disagreers

This is disgusting! The institutional corruption of America by Russia is beyond the pale! Every day, I see something to make me enraged and my blood pressure boil. I could understand saying ‘let’s see what Mueller reports before jumping to conclusions’ but basically they think that anyone who thinks Trump did something wrong with Russia is cray cray! I didn’t realize this!

Obviously the Russia inquiry *might* never reveal clear cut evidence of a big centrally directed conspiracy.

But I feel like the predominant media take is to *assume* it won’t, then posit that everyone else is assuming it will, and then do a lot of scolding.

At least Mueller isn’t in love with Trump like the MSM! Thank God!

They all give it to him. Katy Tur, Melber, Velshi and Ruhle, Tweety, Rachel, O'Donnell and Williams. They cut trump no slack.

A gish galloper will get the best of Chris Hayes because he's too polite. He needs to cut their mic sometimes.

they report FACTS AND TRUTH . there isn't a need to play both sides, deny facts in order to be fair or other bs.

they were on the russia thing for a long time. and all they did was report FACTS . they did reporting/investigation etc which is what reporters do .

these aren't secrets or matters of debate. these are facts. even when they hold panels and some RT troll type is on they will call out the shit.

I'm not seeing any sense of "whatever" from the MSM. They may be avoiding jumping to conclusions, which is what they should be avoiding.

But, i'm not sure where he's coming from on this.
