#2 - This was just a big distraction to get the ADD media to forget about Russian bounties on US troops.

  I doubt the troops will forget it though and this will comeback as the election nears.

  How about we start requiring proof before we just endlessly allow unnamed sources to dictate our outrage? The Russian Bounty story has all sorts of problems. https://fair.org/home/in-russian-bounty-story-evidence-free-claims-from-nameless-spies-became-fact-overnight/ https://fair.org/home/in-russian-bounty-story-evidence-free-... This is a theme of the media: use unnamed sources with no ability for stories to be independently verified and then create an anti-Trump scandal over it. Over and over we go through this.

    Do you not see a problem with media outlets requiring sources name themselves when speaking out against someone in a position of power? I'd much prefer the current situation of corroborating a scandal through what is often multiple sources in multiple publications if the alternative is not hearing about scandals that do exist.

  The Russians seems to be the true master of all evil. They sway elections, they force the us into wars they don't want to and they also always pop up when needed to ensure chaos and deceit. At this point they are a caricature of a Spectre. All Putin is missing is a white cat to stroke. Some critical thinking would be handy around these issues instead of just repeating a mantra.
