Left vs. Right Bias: How we rate the bias of media sources
There are many good reasons to be highly skeptical of NBC’s hard push to sell the notion that “Russia stole the election.” One of these reasons is that Clinton — in spite of much opposition from the Dem voting base — got the most votes. Trump is president because he got the most electoral votes (check: electoral college process), something that a foreign entity couldn’t steal, influence, hack into, etc., etc. Since Trump took office, the rest of the world has noted his buildup of US/NATO troops near the Russian border. Russia was not surprised, and they and do not consider this a gesture of friendship.
