Do you know how many reporters called him?
to Aaron Maté, a Canadian journalist, by the way, and myself.
Nobody called him.
This person who's supposedly the linchpin of the entire conspiracy, his telephone number is public.
It's in the Senate report.
Nobody from the Senate called him.
Robert Mueller didn't call him.
Nobody from the New York Times called him.
It was left to a couple of independent journalists to do it, which to me suggests that there's something going on process-wise that's a little different from the way things used to be.
Once upon a time, I think journalists
were more interested in what was true and what was not true than whether or not this fit the narrative or not.
And I think what happened with the Trump-Russia story is, what's the upside for a lot of these institutions to call up somebody like Konstantin Kilimnik and find out his side of the story?
Is that going to get on the front page of the New York Times?
Probably not.
And so, yes, there are processes.
Fact-checking is important.
I do it.
I hire fact-checkers to do it.
But this is not the standard process for all mainstream media institutions anymore.
We don't do it as much as we used to.
