When even the Washington Post<\/em> is saying your Russiagate article is bad journalism, your Russiagate article is really, really bad journalism.<\/p>\n

In an article<\/a> titled \u201cThe Guardian offered a bombshell story about Paul Manafort. It still hasn\u2019t detonated.\u201d, WaPo writer Pul Farhi draws attention to the fact that it has been a week since the Guardian<\/em> published a claim<\/a> that former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort met repeatedly with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, without any evidence backing up the claim, using solely anonymous sources, and despite the claims contradicting known records of Assange\u2019s guests at the Ecuadorian embassy. Criticism and demands for answers<\/a> have been growing louder and louder from both friends and enemies of WikiLeaks, with new plot holes<\/a> opening up in the Guardian<\/em>\u2018s narrative daily<\/a>, and the scandal is now moving into mainstream awareness.<\/p>\n

And the Guardian<\/em> remains silent, with its editor-in-chief Katharine Viner refusing to utter so much as a peep of defense this entire time. The only comment the publication has issued has been repeated day after day verbatim to every news outlet which writes about this bizarre occurrence:\u00a0\u201cThis story relied on a number of sources. We put these allegations to both Paul Manafort and Julian Assange\u2019s representatives prior to publication. Neither responded to deny the visits taking place. We have since updated the story to reflect their denials.\u201d Which is basically just implying that they can print any libelous nonsense they want about anyone if their denials aren\u2019t sent to the proper email address on time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This, clearly, is bananas.<\/p>\n
