More willful blindness by the media on spying by Obama administration | TheHill

Of course, willful blindness has its advantages. The media eagerly covered the original leak and the false narrative of Russia collusion, despite mounting evidence it was false. They filled hours of cable news coverage and pages of print on a collusion story that was discredited internally by the FBI in 2016. Virtually none of these journalists or experts have acknowledged that the collusion leaks were proved false, let alone pursue the troubling implications of national security powers being used to target the political opponents of an administration. But then, in Washington, success often depends not on what you see but what you can unsee.
