What if the media failure was not the Russia *coverage*, but the breathless "THIS IS A TURNING POINT AND AN EXONERATION" TV blather a week ago? https://t.co/DI7LiaG9gW— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) March 31, 2019
I suppose I could spend a week gloating about how certain people got the politics of this entirely and obnoxiously wrong for the past week but I think this one tweet will suffice https://t.co/gsIzRw4DD4— David Klionš„ (@DavidKlion) March 31, 2019
The lack of moment in Trump's approval rating lines up with the fact that the public didn't think the Barr Memo was a game changer. I've said this before, but it seems like the public was smarter than the media about putting the memo into context. pic.twitter.com/wJwuWz5Tg8— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) March 31, 2019
The criticism of how the press covered the Russia story is off-base. The real failure revolved around how too many reporters quickly bought into the Trump spin following the Barr memo. That’s where the media fell short after years of hard work. @brianstelter— julianzelizer (@julianzelizer) April 1, 2019
