It's pretty obvious what you're getting at.

How is it that you know these things that you would explain if you only could?

Politico's reporting was the same during the campaign: Being against Clinton sells.

nor is it automatically Republican talking points or propaganda, even if Republicans are using them. You can't take something off the table of analysis and discussion simply because of that. Should people not be mentioning here, gleefully, the investigation into Sander's wife simply because a Republican started off that chain of events?

Granted, they shouldn't be jumping to conclusions, and neither should Jordan without enough evidence. I don't know enough about this story to say whether or not he's propagating demonstrable falsehoods or whether his dot connecting leaves a lot to be desired. If you have insight there on why he's so wrong, that would be far more interesting to me than just saying "see, same arguments..."

interpretation is going to have baked in assumptions. I think they try not to stray from the facts, but that doesn't mean their analysis should be taken in a vacuum.

Its a good thing that they don't try to pretend at objectivity. Fake objectivity is a far more insidious thing, and is one of the things I have problem with when it comes to our mainstream media. Nobody is capable of actually being objective.

For those who aren't up on the story.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/10/19/making-sense-of-russia-uranium-and-hillary-clinton/?utm_term=.606af382d1fb&wpisrc=nl_az_most&wpmk=1

To hear Sean Hannity tell it, the media is ignoring “what is becoming the biggest scandal — or, at least, one of them — in American history.”

Hannity is jumping waaay ahead of the facts. So is Breitbart News, which has been running misleading headlines like this: “FBI uncovers confirmation of Hillary Clinton's corrupt uranium deal with Russia.”

Brent Bozell, founder of the conservative Media Research Center, claims that there is “another coverup in the making.” And President Trump chimed in Thursday morning on Twitter.

New reporting this week by the Hill has, indeed, added a layer of intrigue to the sale of a uranium mining company to Russia's atomic energy agency, which was approved by the Clinton-led State Department and eight other U.S. government agencies. But the latest developments, as they relate to Clinton, are not as explosive as certain news outlets — eager to draw attention away from reporting on President Trump and Russia — would have you believe.

Let's break it down:
