Senior NPR business editor Uri Berliner confesses that the public radio station's RussiaGate reporting was unsuccessful and did not acknowledge it after no evidence of collusion was found.
Senior NPR business editor Uri Berliner admitted in an explosive op-ed published Tuesday that the public radio station’s RussiaGate reporting was a bust, and that it did not fess up to that after no “Russian collusion” was found between the Trump campaign and Russia.
He said “persistent rumors” that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia “became the catnip that drove reporting.” But, Berliner writes, when Special Counsel Robert Mueller “found no credible evidence of collusion, NPR’s coverage was notably sparse.”“It is one thing to swing and miss on a major story. Unfortunately, it happens. You follow the wrong leads, you get misled by sources you trusted, you’re emotionally invested in a narrative, and bits of circumstantial evidence never add up. It’s bad to blow a big story,” he said.
