MSNBC Headline very reckless

Senate Intel uncovers no direct evidence of conspiracy between trump campaign and Russia.


Mueller's indictment of Roger Stone flat out lists conspiracy between the Trump Campaign and Russia. Why is MSNBC being so reckless? Burr was on Trump's transition. I doubt he was looking for a conspiracy.

People are going to believe these headlines and think Trump is innocent.

Here is what Senator Warner said:

Looking forward to the tweets when Senate Intel releases its final report to the public. Likewise for the Mueller report. I’m sure in the interest of transparency, the President will want to make that public as well.

They tried to be an example to the House committee-- "we're bipartisan!"
But I think Warner must have decided that he doesn't have to be dragged into lickspittlery for the sake of making nice to Burr.

It's just the REPUBLICAN-led subcommittee that came to this weak conclusion. No doubt because the repigs are trying to save their corrupt party from oblivion.

Mueller does.

Burr is no better than Nunes.

The Senate intel Committee is just a watered down version of Nune's committee.

accountable...enemies domestic and foreign. Last August I called Rep King's (NY) office and said he should resign after the committee published a report of no collusion. The staffer became agitated and said no he would not tell King any such thing. I told the staffer he should not work for King any longer. I wished him a good day and hung up. Why did my heart beat so loudly.

and that is what they care about. MSNBC will not choose their guests nor their headlines and chyrons based on what is good for the US public, the Constitution, or the rule of law. They will chase ratings and viewer attention -- that means scandal, conflict, political horse-racing, and keeping the viewers stressed out and outcome of things in question.

Seems Sen. Burr may be a co-conspirator in all of this. Wouldn't doubt it in the least.

Because Burr's careful wordplay did send a message that could be easily misconstrued, but for the fact that it was intentionally vague and scant.

Faux News writes it's headlines to drive it agenda. At the very least, MSNBC and the MSM could write it's headlines so that they don't lead people to false conclusions.

Let's be honest - a lot of people may just be catching a snippet of the news on restaurant, airport, or other noisy location and either cannot hear the reporting or are only reading the banners.
