CNN Poll: Majority says Trump not exonerated of collusion after Barr's summary https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/27/politics/cnn-poll-mueller-reaction-exoneration/index.html

Most Americans say Trump not exonerated of Russia collusion after Barr letter: Poll https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/most-americans-say-trump-not-exonerated-of-russia-collusion-after-barr-letter-poll

Read Attorney General William Barr’s Summary of the Mueller Report https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/03/24/us/politics/barr-letter-mueller-report.html

What we learned from Barr's summary of the Mueller report https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/mar/25/william-barr-letter-mueller-report

Barr issues his sticky-note summary of the Mueller report https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/03/27/barr-issues-his-sticky-note-summary-mueller-report/

And many many more. Every day. Reporting on Barr's summary, reporting results of polls, reporting what different politicians and the AG are saying, reporting information that Mueller's team unhappy w/Barr's summary, reports that Mueller indicted 37 people and his review probably consisted of hundreds of thousands of evidentiary documents, the cost of the investigation, and various statements and facts.

I did not find a legitimate news media organization that stated that Trump is totally exonerated with no questions or concerns about the Barr summary.

I'm sure they DID report that the Special Counsel did not indict or plan to indict anyone for "collusion" or "obstruction." That is a fact that would have been reported. No one would have "reported" why, but would have repeated what Barr's summary said about it.

This is news. You may be used to the Rachel Maddow show, Hardball, Ari's show, and such. I watch them (well, listen to the podcasts) every day. But those are not news shows. Those are opinion shows. I'm sure there are Republican opinion shows saying Trump is exonerated, like Fox. But that's not news, and it is Fox (not a legitimate news org.).

If any news org. says, "I don't care whether Mueller didn't see fit to indictment Trump for collusion or obstruction, Trump is guilty of both things," then don't use that source for news. Because that's opinion. Not news.

(Note: Opinion articles in legitimate news sources are opinion, of course. Not news.)
