Be wary of trusting anything in THE NATION. I've been seeing a lot of overlap

between their reporting and The INTERCEPT, the Glenn Greenwald publication.

For example, Aaron Mate is a reporter at The Nation who has also written for The Intercept.

In this piece from a few days ago, which is typical, he disparaged the idea that there was any kind of collusion between the Russians and the Trump team.

I hope everyone will take the time to read Mueller's actual report, not The Nation's or The Intercept's spin on it.

The Mueller report does not just dispel the conspiracy theories that have engulfed political and media circles for two years; it puts to rest the most popular, recent one: that Attorney General William Barr engaged in a cover-up. According to the dominant narrative, Barr was somehow concealing Mueller’s damning evidence, while Mueller, even more improbably, stayed silent.

I used to subscribe to it (about 20 years ago). It's a damn cryin' shame that it got corrupted.
