Megyn gives a thorough fact-check of The New York Times’ The Daily podcast episode focused on Russiagate earlier this week, and reveals how it gets the story completely wrong. She’s joined by Michael Shellenberger and Aaron Maté to discuss the way the episode spreads disinformation about the reality of the Russiagate hoax, the way The New York Times has been emotionally invested in the Russiagate story since 2016, the collusion between intel agencies and the media, the way The Daily distracts from the Russiagate hoax reality by focusing on President Barack Obama personally, the tactics used by the press to smear President Donald Trump and his administration, the shocking gaslighting from the podcast about the Steele Dossier, the host and guest’s refusal to even say the word “Steele,” the way the episode serves to misinform listeners and news consumers, and more.
