There are still far too many people, including those with large platforms, who frame this as a story the media simply botched. That is completely wrong. Framing it that way does a real disservice. The media was an integral part of the plot against Trump. Some outlets, like ABC, were working directly with and for the Clinton campaign. Others, like the Washington Post, were working directly with and for the intelligence services. Some did both. But none of them botched anything. They were part of the operation.
