Go Straight To The Fifth Paragraph Of The Latest NYT ‘Bombshell’ On Russia Collusion

LINK
INB4: the link is criticized as not being 'credible' because it is not MSM. It breaks down the strawman and flashy headlines 'with fifth paragraph, but there is nothing to any of what they are reporting,' quite well, no?
quote:
The New York Times dropped another “bombshell” report on Russian influence on the 2016 election Wednesday, and once again what is presented as salacious news in the headline and lead is revealed to be anything but midway through the report.
“Months before the election, U.S. spies learned that top Russians had discussed ways to use Donald Trump’s advisers to influence him,” reads the headline blasted by TheNYT in a breaking news email. The story is clearly meant to further the “Trump colluded with Russia” narrative the media has pushed for months, although it’s as yet totally unsubstantiated.
The NYT lead builds an atmosphere of wrongdoing around Trump and his campaign aides using important sounding buzzwords and phrases. “Spies” and “revealing” information and big-time Russian officials who “exert influence.” It’s quite official sounding and obviously intended to sow suspicion.
quote:
But the (few) readers who make it to the fifth paragraph and are paying attention will realize there’s not actually much meat to the report. That paragraph hedges on the information collected by the spies, and notes the reporter has no real clue whether Russian officials actually made any attempt to influence the Trump aides in question. Oh yeah and the Trump campaign as well as both aides have consistently denied the longstanding accusations of collusion with Russia.

Chuck Ross? @ChuckRossDC
Out of all the leaks thus far in the Trump-Russia probe, there have been none showing actual collusion.

NYT is known for doing this. They write sensationalist headlines and first few paragraphs, fillthe middle with gobbledygook, and then put the truth in the second or third to last paragraph. When reading NYT, always read the first and last three paragraphs and move on.

CNN BREAKING NEWS: Trump angers world leaders at NATO by telling them to pay up.
subheadline: Former President Barack Obama shines and delights all with a superb speech on walls not dividing us.
Paragraph 6: It has been said POTUS Trump's speech to NATO was well handled and others are lauding his new brand of foreign policy. Strength in leadership is what many Trump supporters think we needed with Trump.
Paragraph 7: Former President Barack Obama is the most gifted orator and world wide accepted President. We adore him and bow to his feet.
Paragraph 8: Globalism and politics like Venezuela are superbly met and applauded; as Obama showed meeting with Cuban leaders.
They have lost their gotdanged minds.

All the while not defining what the "collusion" was, nor stating that "colluding" is no where to be found as a criminal act.

It's almost funny how determined they are to make lemonade out of turnips.

Is Hadji Obama still traveling in your spaceship with you now that he grew up?

So in a criminal case in general if there is only circumstantial evidence would you walk away or continue to dig?

what circumstantial evidence of trump collusion do they have? They didn't say no "direct evidence"... They said "no evidence". That includes circumstantial evidence. Don't use big words if you don't know what they mean. How many criminal cases have you investigated? Preosecuted? Wss there probable cause? What is the standard used? How does it apply to the statements made by he IC and members of the intelligence committees?
