One would think that some people in our corporate media system, would reflect on how damaging this entire 'Russiagate' witch-hunt has been for the credibility of the media with huge swathes of the population, a credibility that was a rock bottom already. Oh, but that was the fault of the Russians too, I forgot! If one has a 'priesthood' that's at odds with most of the population and peddling lies day after day in their sermons, and no one believe them anymore; this has consequences, potentially. They create the chasm by pushing 'fake news' about Trump, demonstrably so, and then they complain about the dangers to our democracy from 'fake news.' And Israel is allowed to 'buy' influence and meddle in our elections, because Israel is... different. Israel is on our side, our ally, our friend. We should be grateful to Israel for helping us. One can't compare Israel to Russia! Israel, is 'us' too. This is what Chomsky should have said, because otherwise one doesn't appreciate the context, the Big Why.
