TEHRAN, February 22 - As Russiagate comes to totally dominate the US political landscape, the question of America’s long history of foreign meddling has surfaced, warts and all. But that’s a totally different matter, respond the US Russia-baiters.
TEHRAN,Young Journalists Club (YJC) -As Russiagate comes to totally dominate the US political landscape, the question of America’s long history of foreign meddling has surfaced, warts and all. But that’s a totally different matter, respond the US Russia-baiters.
In yet another variation on the theme of ‘Russia hacking America’s brain,’ a gaggle of American pundits appeared on Tuesday on the MSNBC news program ‘Deadline White House’ to elucidate upon a tweet by Michael McFaul, former US ambassador to Russia.
“Caught @seanhannity at the gym tonight. Didn’t know he was taking about American alleged interference in other countries’ elections as an excuse for Russia violating our sovereignty. That’s exactly the whataboutism argument Putin’s TV channels make. Exactly.”
Judging by McFaul’s comments, it is obvious that he has been out of Russia for quite some time. This is betrayed by the remark that there has been a discussion on “Putin’s TV channels” for finding an “excuse” to meddle in America’s democratic process. That is patently ludicrous. The real debate raging across Russia centers on the question: ‘How it is possible for such serious accusations to be tossed around by a world superpower against another without a shred of evidence to validate the claim?’
The discussion gets out of the gates with a jaw-dropping assertion by Deadline host Nicolle Wallace. She opens with a nostalgic look back at the Obama era, a period that radiates in the rear-view mirror of the Democratic bandwagon like some sort of golden age, by stating that Barack Obama “didn’t have a network distorting the truth for it.
Donald Trump does.” The comment is not entirely bogus, however, since Obama didn’t have “a network” lending gratuitous assistance to his liberal cause, but rather a multitude of liberal US mainstream outlets. But I digress.
