SUPERCUT: A look back on how cable news went all in on the discredited CIA's Russian bounties story.

"It was a blockbuster story....The Kremlin had spread money around [Afghanistan] for militants to kill US forces. It sparked a massive outcry from Democrats...But on Thursday, the Biden Admin. announced that U.S. intelligence only had “low to moderate” confidence in the story."

Remember this as you watch cable stars claiming to be "journalists" yet again treat a U.S. intelligence agency assertion, completely unaccompanied by evidence, as Truth.

This, apparently, is what they mean by "Real Reporting": blind faith in CIA pronouncements.
