You watch PBS? Not me.

Dear Frontline:
I'd suggest in covering this topic you seek two sides in the future.
For example, ALL the intel agencies DID NOT examine the DNC server but took Crowdstrikes word for it.
Also, you put on discredited hacks like James Clapper and John Brenner and others who have misled the public time after time.
In addition, the DNC material metadata shows transfer speeds that indicate the DNC material was NOT hacked, but accessed by an insider and leaked.
Also, Putin like most pragmatic people is not so concerned what people say but what they do. Trump's admin has lowered regs on oil production and this has cost Putin dearly.
You also indicate that Mitch McConnel didn't buy the bull the Democrats were selling, which you bought by the boatload, but you didn't say why.
Now that FB and others are releasing Russian backed ad copy, it seems that Russia all along was aligned the with Democrats and BLM, and others.
So, your 2 part series only ended up discrediting your reputation.
In the future, please cover both sides.
I saw the list of Frontline and turned it off, especially when Brennan and Clapper appeared. What a couple of swine.
Seems like the whole thing can be watched here:

On terrorism and world politics it is actually pretty good most of the time.
Much of the media has an agenda and is so use to publishing spin as opposed to facts or alternate interpretations it is now comfortable with crafting its stories around talking points had fed to it by politicians and/or (as proven by Wikileaks) allowing politicians to edit the stories before they are released to the public.
Once upon a time journalists were taught that they needed to have integrity and provide balanced coverage in college. In that era, they were told that a journalists, they couldn't be expected to “know the facts or truth.” As such, they needed to do what the court system does and that is to allow opposing sides on a topic present the evidence that explains their position and let a neutral party (judge or jury) decide the facts.
As journalists they were to find experts for each side and include opposing statements and explanations so that the neutral public could determine the truth.
Unfortunately, two things have happened since then. Journalists are now first and foremost liberal and in a group-think world where their view of the world is obviously the only view in their minds. Second, the news cycle has sped up to the point that Journalists don't have time to research who can provide them with a balanced perspective to the “breaking news.”
Now a journalist may feel he has presented a balanced story on say climate change when he quotes one expert who says the oceans will rise 20 feet and another who say they will rise 10 feet. Or when he presents a story where one expert says Trump is mentally ill and has an other expert say that Trump is a Nazi. This has become the new normal in terms of “balanced coverage” by the MSM.
Disgusting.
Is Frontline a CIA front group?
