[4] “Gerth falsely claimed the DOJ IG Report vindicated Devin Nunes’ memo – but he didn’t check that (I did). He applauded retractions based off John Durham claims that couldn’t withstand the scrutiny of a jury. At least twice, he falsely claimed that investigations – … – showed no evidence rather than that much of it remains classified.”

[3] “Gerth simply assumes that the thing that damaged press credibility in 2016 was coverage of the Russian investigation, and not any of the other closely linked politicized investigations into one or another of the candidates, including the ones he played a role in.”

[2] “in spite of his citation of WaPo’s tracking of the vast number of lies #DonaldTrump told during his term early in the series, Gerth put great stock in what Donald Trump told him in two interviews”

Here’s the @emptywheel series that interrogates the #CJR #JeffGerth series

Every political journalist and media critic should be reading this @emptywheel series that details the sloppy “reporting” in the #CJR #JeffGerth series that complains about news coverage of #Trump.

“Gerth’s reliance on people like Lindsey Graham and Sidney Powell and John Durham and a host of angry men who post highlighted screen caps on Twitter is a problem, because they’re not reliable. They’re the obvious source of many of his outright errors.”
