I posted the DNI link, but expect the words are too big for you. Let me help you understand: The Russians are committing cyberwar against the United States for some time. They hit a new high with their cyber work to interfere in the 2016 election. Trump denies this interference even though there is ample proof the Russians did it and are doing it. Why is Trump denying this? I don't know. Why are you denying it?

All the media networks are interested in making money, but as the link below points out, both Fox and MSNBC also seem to have a political agenda. CNN is more centrist. There, I agree that CNN tends to cover "real stories" while Fox and MSNBC slant their news. I've always wondered why Trump has such a hissy-fit over CNN but rarely, if ever, mentions MSNBC which is decidedly more Left.

Maximizing ratings versus maximizing media power
We can also use the model to compare the editorial strategy of cable channels based on whether they seek to maximize ratings or media power. In other words, we can compare how slant would differ between a channel purely interested in ratings (for example, because it cares about its advertising revenues) and one with a political agenda.
We find that all three channels’ ratings-maximizing slant is quite centrist. CNN’s observed slant is close to this level. But Fox News is far to the right of the level that would generate the highest ratings: it is much closer to the level of slant that maximizes Republican vote share; and in 2008, it actually exceeds this point. MSNBC after 2006 is well to the left of the position that would generate the greatest ratings.
This analysis suggests that the editorial policies of Fox News and MSNBC after 2006 are driven by something other than ratings maximization. This finding is surprising, because if channels care about profits, which are heavily dependent on advertising revenues, ratings should be a first-order concern. Evidence thus suggests that news channel owners care about influencing political outcomes.

Intelligent Americans know there's a difference between the DNI report and Mueller's investigation. Why you tried to derail my point about the DNI report with your Mueller link is silly.
Intelligent Americans also know this; https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/16/polit...mit/index.html
US President Donald Trump, in a stunning rebuke of the US intelligence community, declined on Monday to endorse the US government's assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election, saying he doesn't "see any reason why" Russia would be responsible.
Instead, Trump -- standing alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin -- touted Putin's vigorous denial and pivoted to complaining about the Democratic National Committee's server and missing emails from Hillary Clinton's personal account.
"I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today," Trump said during a joint news conference after he spent about two hours in a room alone with Putin, save for a pair of interpreters.
Trump's statements amounted to an unprecedented refusal by a US president to believe his own intelligence agencies over the word of a foreign adversary and drew swift condemnation from across the partisan divide.

Nope. I thought there was enough to investigate - and I have no idea why people objected to the investigation. But I didn't draw any conclusions from anything.
Truthfully, I didn't care that much about it. When it comes to things like collusion & impeachment, I think Dems are picking the wrong battles. These are things that will have minimal impact on our future.
Oh, the irony lol.
You realize the prospect that the DNC/Hillary campaign coordinated [whats that other word that begins with a C?] with the Russians on the Dossier—is very much alive and well, right?
And why was Obama’s FBI seemingly unaware that, just maybe, the Dossier was disinformation, intended, by Russia, to disrupt our politics? The FBI was either plain stupid or they had an agenda. Pick only one.
And does the phrase ‘throwing stones from a glass house’ mean anything at all to you?
