Re: “,” Jan. 11 news story.
On the basis of classified reports, supposedly indicating that Russia has adverse information on President-elect Donald Trump, the media, including The Denver Post, speculate — without proof — that Russia can control him.
If true, these allegations are extremely serious. If not, then it is indeed “fake news.” The classified reports need to be declassified immediately so that the American public can judge, on the basis of facts, whether President Vladimir Putin and the Russians have dirt on Trump. If they do, then the chips will fall.
But for the mainstream media to speculate about it in a highly partisan way is extremely counterproductive. Let’s see what the actual facts are before we rush to judgment, then we can decide what, if anything, it means, and what to do about it.
