I didn't note that. But I won't watch again. Isikoff is not that stupid.
No, he's definitely not that stupid. I mean, if I've understood correctly, he didn't buy the Iraq-WMD story. But maybe he would have if Clinton or Obama had been president.
I'm glad to hear that you trust American intelligence agencies as much as you do climate scientists. The propaganda seems to work flawlessly. Have you tried to replicate their work like you can that of climate scientists?
Imagine climate scientists saying: AGW is real, just trust us. Would you stand for that? It seems climate risk deniers have been successful at one thing: Completely delegitimizing the word 'skeptic'.
Please, don't use stupid analogies. Maté isn't saying that the Russians are innocent. He's just saying that there is still no conclusive evidence, only a chorus of self-reinforcing and inter-referring voices (intelligence, media, politicians), and that history shows that political motives are known to distort the truth in similar cases. These are all games that are played by the powerful, and they're trying to use powerless people like you and me to do their handiwork.
Russia trying to influence elections, like every country is doing, especially the US, is not worth all this hysteria. The collusion is interesting, but the NSA only seems to be capable of spying on evil GRU geniuses, but not stupid, sloppy, lying Trump. The corruption is most interesting of all, but as everyone is corrupt in DC, I supposed we won't be hearing much about that either (are the Podesta boys in jail yet). All we'll get, is well-timed news flashes that get the froth going.
