Introduction

CNN's John Sutter talks with veteran journalist and investigative reporter Jeff Girth about his latest autopsy of the media's handling of Russia gate in Columbia journalism review. This is a topic that we've covered before on the show, but I just wanted to highlight Jeff's superb reporting and focus on the media, which I'm a part. On February 15, 2017, the New York Times published a barn burner: The FBI was investigating contacts between Donald Trump's campaign and Russian intelligence figures. For him to do this just two weeks after Comey made huge news by announcing he was overseeing a criminal investigation into the Trump-Kanned Pain's potential collusion with Russia has been incredibly stunning.
