We in the media allowed unproven charges and false accusations to dominate the news landscape for more than two years, in a way that was wildly unbalanced and disproportionate to the evidence.

We did a poor job of tracking down leaks of false information. We failed to reasonably weigh the motives of anonymous sources and those claiming to have secret, special evidence of Trump’s “treason.”

As such, we reported a tremendous amount of false information, always to Trump’s detriment.

And when we corrected our mistakes, we often doubled down more than we apologized. We may have been technically wrong on that tiny point, we would acknowledge. But, in the same breath, we would insist that Trump was so obviously guilty of being Russian President Vladimir Putin’s puppet that the technical details hardly mattered.

So, a round of apologies seem in order.

Apologies to Trump on behalf of those in the U.S. intelligence community, including the Department of Justice and the FBI, which allowed the weaponization of sensitive, intrusive intelligence tools against innocent citizens such as Carter Page, an adviser to Trump’s presidential campaign.

Apologies also to Page himself, to Jerome Corsi, Donald Trump Jr., and other citizens whose rights were violated or who were unfairly caught up in surveillance or the heated pursuit of charges based on little more than false, unproven opposition research paid for by Democrats and the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Apologies for the stress on their jobs and to their families, the damage to their reputations, the money they had to spend to hire legal representation and defend themselves from charges for crimes they did not commit.

Apologies on behalf of those in the intelligence community who leaked true information out of context to make Trump look guilty, and who sometimes leaked false information to try to implicate or frame him.

Apologies from those in the chain of command at the FBI and the Department of Justice who were supposed to make sure all information presented to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) is verified but did not do so.

Apologies from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court judges who are supposed to serve as one of the few checks and balances to prevent the FBI from wiretapping innocent Americans. Whether because of blind trust in the FBI or out of ignorance or even malfeasance, they failed at this important job.

Apologies to the American people who did not receive the full attention of their government while political points were being scored; who were not told about some important world events because they were crowded out of the news by the persistent insistence that Trump was working for Russia.

Apologies all the way around.

Ook toevallig Mike, had het net vertaald van-de-middag, en meer ...

De Media bieden nu: Excuses aan president Trump

In deze context is het niet van belang of iemand een aanhanger of een criticus van president Trump is.

Wat zijn vermeende tekortkomingen ook mochten zijn, de ongebreidelde beschuldigingen en speculaties die het presidentschap van Trump omhulden, nog voor het begon, zijn uiteindelijk ongegrond gebleken. Zoals Trump het altijd al zei.

Maar telkens als Trump dat zei, bombardeerden sommigen van ons in de media hem. We behandelden alle woorden die hij in zijn eigen verdediging sprak alsof ze automatisch ongelovig zouden zijn omdat hij ze had uitgesproken. Sommigen verklaarden zelfs dat zijn woorden leugens waren, hoewel ze geen bewijs hadden om hun beweringen te onderbouwen.

Wij in de media lieten onbewezen aanklachten en valse beschuldigingen het nieuwslandschap domineren gedurende meer dan twee jaar, op een manier die wild onevenwichtig en onevenredig was aan het bewijsmateriaal.

We hebben slecht werk verricht door het opsporen van lekken van valse informatie. We hebben redelijkerwijs de motieven van anonieme bronnen en degenen die beweren geheime, speciale bewijzen van Trump’s ‘verraad’ te hebben, niet gewogen.

Als zodanig hebben we een enorme hoeveelheid valse informatie gerapporteerd, altijd ten nadele van Trump.

En toen we onze fouten corrigeerden, verdubbelden we vaak meer dan dat we ons verontschuldigden. Op dat kleine punt hebben we technisch misschien verkeerd gedaan, zouden we erkennen. Maar in één adem zouden we erop aandringen dat Trump zo duidelijk schuldig was aan het marionet van de Russische president Vladimir Poetin dat de technische details er nauwelijks toe deden.
