We must end this Russophobic insanity
June 4, 2018
That saying – often misattributed to Euripides – comes to mind most mornings when I pick up The New York Times and read the latest “Russiagate” headlines, which are frequently featured across two or three columns on the front page above the fold.

The New York Times, of course, is not the only offender. Its editorial attitude has been duplicated or exaggerated by most other media outlets in the United States, electronic and print. Unless there is a mass shooting in progress, it can be hard to find a discussion of anything else on CNN. Increasingly, both in Congress and in our media, it has been accepted as a fact that “Russia” interfered in the 2016 election.

Ang. 6. Hillary Clinton fik 3 millioner flere vælgerstemmer end Trump fik. Trump fik flest valgmandsstemmer.
Så han blev præsident.
Men netop det, at H. C. fik flest vælgerstemmer viser jo, at udenlands indblanding ikke havde en bestemmende indflydelse på det amerikanske valg.
Det havde det amerikanske valgmandssystem, der er beregnet på at beskytte delstaterne med få indbyggere mod at blive overset af landspolitikerne.
Hillary overså de små delstater!
