Always instructive to see how the media establishment dismissed #Hersh's revelations on #Nordstream2 as *disinformation*, but tolerates Guardian's #Manafort story or #ColumbiaJournalismReview refusing to issue a correction about rape *charges* that never were [archive]:

Great article on #mediabias by #journalist #DuncanCampbell about #TheNation and how they went all #Tankie #ProPutin after #Trump won in 2016.

Even more:

#ColumbiaJournalismReview commissioned the story and then killed it two days before publication. That's relevant because #CJR just published a truly awful piece arguing #Russiagate fake. @DavidCorn wrote about that.

Is CJR #biased?

“It is maddening that, this far into the #ClimateCrisis, #news outlets continue to dither as to whether a single #weather event is related to the now-undeniable, violent changes in Earth’s weather. …

“The overwhelming #ScientificConsensus is that Earth is #warming, that man-made causes are to blame, and that one result is more extreme weather precisely like what we’ve seen this week on the #WestCoast. And yet the search for definitive causation—for hard proof that global shifts in climate produced a single event in one corner of one town—has become an odious tendency among journalists looking to create tension when there is none.”
