Journalist Glenn Greenwald again skewered the media for rushing to present a particular narrative without evidence that has since been proven to be false.
The latest example involves a claim from last year that Russia had placed bounties on U.S. troops in Afghanistan. The original claim was reported by The New York Times citing anonymous intelligence officials, which have since been identified as CIA operatives. There was never any evidence to back up the story, but that didn’t stop media outlets from using it to attack Trump and claim he was not only weak on Russia (an allegation made against him throughout his 2016 campaign and presidency) but also putting U.S. troops in danger.
