The BBC names the key players, but it missed one: the media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On December 9, Glen Greenwald at the Intercept reported The U.S. Media Suffered Its Most Humiliating Debacle in Ages and Now Refuses All Transparency Over What Happened<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I covered the story in Trump Accuses CNN of Purposeful Fake News “Fraud on American Public”<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
