But you can still read the Columbia Journalism Review article, which is a reckoning of the Trump-era news media. It\u2019s too little and about six years too late for that trash.<\/p>\n<p>Bob Woodward, Mummified Legend, is quoted in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cjr.org\/special_report\/trumped-up-press-versus-president-part-1.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The piece<\/a>The following article was written this week by Jeff Gerth, an ex-New York Times journalist, and urges newsrooms: \u201cwalk down the painful road of introspection.\u201d Gerth himself said it. \u201cnews outlets and watchdogs haven\u2019t been as forthright in examining their own Trump-Russia coverage,\u201d He also visits a number of editors and writers who are well-known. \u201cdeclined to comment\u201d on his exhausting attempt at serious \u2014\u00a0<em>Very, very<\/em> serious \u2014\u00a0media accountability.<\/p>\n<p>But what do you expect?

They have achieved their goals and shown they\u2019re willing to defend their victories with whatever it takes. We, the B.S. We, the people who called B.S. <\/p>\n<p>Gerth, Woodward, or any other person can have a stroke.<\/p>\n<p>No amount of \u201cpainful road of introspection\u201d They can undo the damage done to America by the media and Washington bureaucracy.

Here\u2019s a renowned journalist giving them a stern talking-to!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Nobody cares. It\u2019s over. They won. And they\u2019ve never stopped.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the media were horrible before Trump, their shortcomings were mostly acknowledged \u201cliberal bias.\u201d What they did beginning in 2017 and ever since isn\u2019t bias. It\u2019s dishonest. It\u2019s malicious. It\u2019s evil.<\/p>\n<p>Gerth even had the nerve to give the media some coverage in his piece, blaming Trump for being president \u201cseemed almost to be toying with the press, offering spontaneous answers to questions about Russia that seemed to point to darker narratives.\u201d That\u2019s a convenient explanation for the two years of breathless, unrelenting headlines and cable news graphics declaring That \u201cthe walls are closing in,\u201d that \u201cthe noose is tightening,\u201d That and more \u201cwe\u2019re at a turning point\u201d The Russia saga. Do you remember those? It went on for years. <em>Years<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And then, one sleepy Sunday in the spring of 2019, Attorney General William Barr revealed the truth: The Justice Department\u2019s special counsel, with unlimited resources and funding, found no collusion between Trump and Russia.<\/p>\n<p>It was time for the ghost to go. They did.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, right. They then claimed that even if there wasn\u2019t <em>Technical<\/em> There was collusion <em>Tried<\/em> Collaboration.
