MSNBC Analyst: ‘We in the Media' Failed to Explain Russia Probe in ‘Bite-Sized Way' for Public
[Free Beacon] MSNBC analyst Richard Stengel said Thursday that "we in the media" hadn't done a good-enough job of explaining the particulars of the Russia investigation to the public in a "bite-sized way."
Yes, your "failure" is surely due to our stupidity and incomprehension.
In the aftermath of former special counsel Robert Mueller's low-key testimony Wednesday on Capitol Hill, the former Obama administration diplomat said on Deadline: White House it was incumbent on the press and Democrats to put significant nuggets from the Russia probe on a "three-by-five card" and repeat it over and over for Americans to understand.

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, who was among the many members of the media critical of Mueller's performance on Capitol Hill, said nevertheless Mueller had "destroyed" Trump's credibility. In her reading, Mueller had laid bare that Trump would be charged with a crime if he were not president. Mueller said the investigation did not exonerate Trump on obstruction of justice but didn't come to a conclusion as to whether he committed a crime.

Many Democrats had hoped Mueller would bring new life to his probe and perhaps spur more members, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), to seek impeachment. However, he contained his answers to the report's information and didn't provide showy sound bites.

#7 Old Soviet Era Joke: “There is no truth in news and no news in truth” (Russian Izvestia and Pravda adage). Can you sell a gold-plated dog turd just because it is shy?

#8 I don't think most in the media ever read the report. They just know what they talked about in the break room version with all the lies and wishful thinking that entails.

If all of you suck that bad at your job, you should just quit en masse, right?

#12 The media didn't fail, it never had ANY intention of feeding the public the actual truth. They don't want the public to understand because if they did, reporters and democrats would be known as Lamppost fruit.
