For the first few hours after any new \u201cbombshell\u201d Russiagate story comes out, my social media notifications always light up with poorly written posts by liberal establishment loyalists saying things like \u201cHAHAHA @caitoz this proves you wrong now will you FINALLY stop denying Russian collusion???\u201d Then, when people start actually analyzing that story and noting that it comes nowhere remotely close to proving that Donald Trump colluded with the Russian government to steal the 2016 election, those same people always forget to come back afterward and admit to me that they were wrong again.<\/p>\n

This happens every single time, including this past Tuesday when the Guardian<\/em> published a new \u201cbombshell\u201d report<\/a> saying that former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort had had secret meetings with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. When experts all across the political spectrum began pointing out that the story contained no evidence for its nonsensical<\/a> claims and was entirely anonymously sourced, nobody ever came back and said \u201cHey sorry for calling you a Russian propagandist, Caitlin; turns out that story wasn\u2019t as fact-based as I\u2019d thought!\u201d When evidence for a single one of the article\u2019s claims failed to turn up for a day, then two days, then three days, nobody came back and said \u201cGosh Caitlin, I owe you an apology for mocking you and calling you Assange\u2019s bitch; turns out WikiLeaks and Manafort are suing that publication and its claims remain completely unproven.\u201d<\/p>\n

And of course they didn\u2019t. They weren\u2019t meant to. They were meant to absorb the Guardian<\/em>\u2018s false claims as fact, add it to their Gish gallop<\/a> mountain of false evidence for Trump-Russia-WikiLeaks collusion, and then be shuffled onward by the relentless news churn of the corporate propaganda matrix like always. But I\u2019m never going to let them forget that this happened, and neither should you.<\/p>\n
