What are reporters missing on the Russian collusion issue? (David Cay Johnston)

from TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent · host WBAI 99.5fm, New York City's Pacifica radio station

The ongoing Justice Department investigation into whether the Donald Trump campaign colluded with Russian officials in the 2016 presidential  election has been splashed across the front page for months. But are the elite journalists at the forefront of this media frenzy missing the mark? In the first installment of a two-part interview, TrumpWatch" host Jesse Lent speaks with David Cay Johnston, the Pulitzer Prize-winning editor-in-chief of  DCReport.org and the author of "The Making Of Donald Trump" about what key aspects of the Russian collusion controversy are getting lost in the  heat of the current political moment. His July 8 editorial, "Why Did We Create DCReport.org? Because Most News Coverage of the Trump-Putin  Meeting Missed the Most Important Point," explored critical areas of Trump's relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin that have gone underreported by most major newspapers.
