The New York Times just ran a story with the headline, “
Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence.”
That's the headline, OK. Elsewhere the media is labeling all this a "scandal," and breathlessly claiming that it is as alarming as the 9/11 attacks and the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Quote:A US political commentator has labelled Russia’s influence on the 2016 presidential elections as “the worst political scandal in American history." He also declared America “was hanging by a thread”..."The crime is treason."

Pearl Harbor moment. Treason. Worst scandal in history. America on the verge of collapse.
Heh, those are the hysterical and disingenuous insinuations.
But what are the FACTS?
As always the headlines make an attempt to mischaracterize the facts, which are buried deep in the story. But, if you look, the NYT itself has to admit that:
Quote:The sources for the story, asked about outright collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians, said they had found “no evidence of such cooperation.”
It is not unusual for American businessmen to come in contact with foreign intelligence officials, sometimes unwittingly, in countries like Russia and Ukraine.
“It is unclear whether the conversations had anything to do with Mr. Trump himself.”

If you listen to the left, Trump is a corrupt russian stooge, prepared to give the entire country to Russia. This is the "yellow journalism" that John mentioned.
Heh. Trying to create "scandals" is like the boy crying wolf. If a real one comes along, no one will listen.
Keep on truckin, cheese-eaters. You lose more credibility virtually every time you open your sorry yaps.
