      1. The latest alarmist claims about purported spying on Trump (spurred by inaccurate coverage by right-wing outlets on a Durham filing) are flawed, but the explanation is byzantine — underlining the challenge for journalists in deciding what merits coverage. nytimes.com/2022/02/14/us/politics/durham-sussmann-trump-russia.html?referringSource=articleShare

      In a filing late last night accusing Durham of repeatedly including gratuitous & misleading info in filings to stoke Trumpy conspiracy theories, Sussmann's lawyers also say the White House-Russian smartphone data came from the Obama -- not Trump -- era. pacer-documents.s3.amazonaws.com/36/235637/04519052327.pdf

      The special counsel implicitly acknowledged that White House internet data he discussed, which conservative outlets have portrayed as proof of spying on the Trump White House, came from the Obama era. nytimes.com/2022/02/17/us/durham-right-wing-news-media.html

        All the minutes & hours people devoted to understanding this were a waste of time that instead could have been spent learning about something that is really happening. This is the coverage dilemma that complex nonsense poses for the mainstream media. youtube.com/watch?v=fZLeaSWY37I
