Where's the Proof? And with apologies to Clara Peller, Where's the Beef?
Of course, unless you've been snowed in or living under a rock for the past week or so, I'm referring to the notion put forth by a majority of the statist media that the Russians have influenced the recent Presidential Election.
Starting with the New York Times and rolling downhill from there, the statist media is insistent that the Russians are responsible for influencing the election and thereby electing Donald Trump as our 45th President.
Journalism school 101 reminds us that it's all about the five W's and H. Who, What, Where, When, Why and How, are the building blocks of basic journalistic reporting. This concept is lost on much of the statist media these days, and specifically to this story.
Russian influence is referred to, mentioned, alluded to, made by inference and by innuendo, The biggest missing to any and all of the stories is any factual proof of the involvement of Russia.
The stories are simply speculation, a guesstimate, or possibly a shot in the dark and nothing more.
Once you understand this, the scales are lifted from your eyes. Despite what is transpiring, the statist media continues to be clueless as to why the general public, and those in fly-over country have no trust in their content.
