Commentary

If you’ve followed the SpyGate twists and turns since this whole thing started, you’ve noticed a recent trend in the Democratic National Committee (DNC) media complex: the number of over-hyped Trump–Russia collusion “bombshells” that get published are coming faster and faster—and they quickly blow-up and fall apart within just a few days.

As I detailed in recent columns, The Guardian and McClatchy News both had spectacular launches of bombshell stories that supposedly provided evidence at long last that Trump campaign affiliates were involved in WikiLeak’s publication of stolen Hillary Clinton and DNC emails during the 2016 election. In both reports, anonymous sources claimed to have seen evidence proving the allegations, but provided nothing to the reporters to back up what they were alleging.

That’s where journalism is at now. Reporters don’t have to produce any evidence themselves for their stories before they go public with serious accusations against designated targets. In fact, in modern DNC media “journalism,” it’s often the case the reporters don’t even need to see any of the evidence themselves before publishing a story. All they need are anonymous sources who make a claim they saw something. The mere claim from a few anonymous sources is now enough to launch stories containing explosive accusations that come to dominate a daily or weekly news cycle … before they are exposed as being fake.
