Statements like this are exactly why people are cynical of the mainstream news. There is no evidence of "massive" efforts from Russia to get Trump elected, yet you state it as a fact and that we should trust mainstream news.
The tighter people cling to false narratives pushed by the media, the more you'll see trust drop through the floor. Since not only is the media lying to people, but there's are large groups of people that will believe anything that fits their political view regardless of information that comes to light that contradicts it.

This is the opposite of what I said, I said we should trust the process Mueller used to reach his conclusions, NOT the media, who got a lot wrong. Please refute the indictments Mueller issued for Russian nationals working to influence the outcome of the election, to back your claim Russia did not make an effort to influence the election. Unless you are hung up on how massive counts as "massive", which is a pointless and stupid debate. The media clearly got a lot wrong, but rejecting the Mueller report's conclusions is a much higher bar, and I will want to know how you have more information about the topic or more credibility than Mueller and his team and specifics about which parts of the indictments were incorrect.
