From Sulliview: Serious journalists should be proud of — not bullied over — their Russia reporting
By Margaret Sullivan Margaret Sullivan Media columnist Email Bio Follow Media columnist March 25 at 9:32 AM It should be no surprise to anyone that President Trump’s reaction to the Mueller report is to attack reporters for doing their jobs.
As for the rest of the harsh criticism that’s being leveled at journalists who dug into the connections between Trump, as candidate and president, and Russia, it’s largely misguided. I reckon that the hard-nosed reporting about former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn — roundly denied, you might recall, before it was proved — was an early sign of the venality that was to follow.
Perhaps cowed by the criticism — which came from the left as well as the right, most notably from author Matt Taibbi — some news organizations may back down from aggressive coverage of Trump.
