Maybe focus less on the messenger and more on the content of the message - what you put into question above, could be said about the mainstream media as well who hang on the drip of both "anti-terror" legislation and needing to remain good relations to the political establishment, if they still want to get invited to press events and high callibre "interview" partners, and so on. Not to mention laws before and after 9/11 that in principle are partially criminalising investigative journalism and research to some degree.

I said it before, and I do not mean it as a joke, never did, but bloody serious: the most important job of intelligence agencies is to deceive our own public and to make sure the main media all march in lockstep. The difference between CNN and FOX that you may believe to perceive - is the difference between lipstick and mascara.

BTW, I linked the German pilot's observations that Catfish refers to in another thread (relinked below), plus a video by an official OSCE observer send to the crash site. Counter what they say, if you can. You can also see a high-res photo of cockpit wreckage there, and if you take some time you can see that many of the media expert's claims about shrapnels cannot be right. Only the exit openings vary widely in size and geometry - the apparent entry openings all are in the same tiny size range and of comparable geometry. Today they claim on the media that both types of openings are wildly mixed, that there were various shrapnels entering and exiting, and that this would prove the use of a warhead with shrapnels. That cannot be the explanation. Trust your own eyes, man, don't trust paid media warriors and establishment propagandists and politicians having an agenda of blaming Russia at all costs. That OSCE observer and that pilot - there is no hysteria in their statements, but they speak with sober reason and self-restraint - sensationalism you will seek in vein.

Note that even veterans of your own American intel community question the administration's handling of the evidence issue!
