There are at least 25 scandals surrounding the Trump administration currently that are each worse than the two pseudo-scandals surrounding HRC that Conservatives managed to drum up, I. e. E-Mails and “Benghazi”. And ts not like FOX and the entire US Congress have less power than the Guardian. So, no: “They are all the same” isn’t just cynical and useless. It’s also wrong.

So, in your opinion, this justifies the false headline of the article, and is reason to turn a blind eye to the same potential data abuse when committed by the other party? >They are all the same” isn’t just cynical and useless. It’s also wrong. Please do not put words in my mouth. All I am asking for is journalistic integrity. Media in the U.S. has proven repeatedly to be partisan, which, to a rational person, makes it very difficult to separate fact from propaganda. This article is a case in my point. Unethical politicking is not an excuse for spread of misinformation.
