The key phrase is "legitimate news". Which none of these seem to be. All of them seem to be rooted in Russian disinformation campaigns, except maybe those having to be connected to China. And even those don't appear to have a factual basis. The billion dollar China deal never existed. You might not be aware of anyone checking it out, I am sure that Fox News never carried it, but it was looked into and nothing was found. So the story was killed. Look, I understand your disappointment in the media that is not part of the wingnut echo chamber refusing to make a big deal out of made up bullshit. But that is the way things work in the real world. I grant you, sometimes they do. Y'all got some notable successes with Al Gore. But then the realization that your tribe deals with fantasies started to dawn on people. And they rightly are now skeptical and tend to check things out before running with them.
