In light of the Mueller report we replay this March 5, 2017 interview with TRNN Editor-in-Chief Paul Jay, where he discusses the underlying forces driving the Russia-Gate story, corporate media’s self interest, and the use of a dangerous Cold War narrative by the Democratic Party to fight Trump for partisan advantage

Another Democrat news station
The difference is that in Russia, Putin tells the oligarchs what to do; but in America, the oligarchs COMPLETELY run the show. Russia is an autocratic government while America is actually an oligarchy..
Brilliant. This Canuk agrees with damn near every word. A small glitch. The McCain bit should have been referenced in the past tense. The 'none of the above' and crappy 'Free Trade' that hamstrung our government's ability to control our own cartels has been of deep personal concern since Reagan/Prime Minister Mulroney's NAFTA sellout of the working class and government regulatory authority. That watershed started this slide to loss of economic, social and political rights for the mass of the citizens in both countries.
Glad to see you back in the real news broadcasts Kim! Welcome again 🙂
Bring back the Buzzsaw!
Right on. ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
She's kind of hot
Don't know why TRNN digged out this horrible piece of dialectical approach towards Russian-American politics from 2017. In hindsight, nothing that has been discussed there seem to fit to reality.
In order to win this election you have to tend.
Trump was on everyone’s mind because of trending. If the Democrats want to win votes they have to get to the younger crowd and the older crowd.
Urg… why didn’t you mention that or didn’t you guys think of that ?
Any rich person M S M will interview in prime time,they (the very rich ) do not really wish hard question but will not back from a rose petal interview on media they supply with money.
Pretty
When was this first recorded? It certainly isn't recent
Your show isn't the same since Aaron Maté left.
In regards to the title, this is why Aaron Mate is no longer with the Real News.They wouldn't allow him to take a definitive stand on anything, especially this topic.
Bring back Aaron and I'll believe your impetus for this is reposted.
Real News doesn't side with Russian or American Oligarch's… but they will alienate journalists that push back against Russiagate like Aaron Mate, while embracing journalists that push Russiagate, like Marc Steiner.
No smoke, no Russian interference. Nothing except CIA and FBI lies.
What happened to Paul's beard? It was just getting good.
Jay breaks it down for us again! It was all a distraction from the beginning. Trump and the GOP are using the exact same gangsta moves to take over the U.S. They use Putin as a distraction, and in the meantime Trump is allowed to whip up his base into a frenzy ready to unleash his "army." That's why I stopped watching mainstream media a long time ago!
You should try and have Masha Gessen or Timothy Snyder on for some russia context.
When you hire staff that has a blind hatred for one candidate ( Trump), you do indirectly sway the debate and comprehension of this news outlet. Just like if you hired staff that had a blind hatred for the queen of death Clinton.
Name me One place in either the u.s or Russia that was bombed during the so called 'cold-war' ?
EXACTLY, there isn't one!
From my studies, I have come to the conclusion that Russia and the u.s are two arms of the same zionist body. Why would the zionist cut of his right are(u.s) for it's left arm(Russia) or Vise versa?
Political, more importantly military powerhouses have to be under the zionist thumb. So Russia u.s conflict is theater.
Imgine this on tvs in america! we would be a lot smarter nation.
Oh man, Paul Jay… now I get it why Aaron Mate left Real News…
SADLY, the rhetoric used is poorly researched. There is no "dictatorship" in Russia, hundreds of protests are held yearly in hundreds of cities. Thousands of opposition activists and media vilify Putin for years and nothing happens to them unless they are also engaged in something else. Also, unlike in previous years, journalists are not killed in Russia much at all. Finally, Russia is not even oligarchy by now since not even Putin's pals wield any significant political power on their own. This fact was behind Putin's popularity for many years. But, of course, it does not mean that Russians feel great as Russia is a plutocracy, where the class of super-rich rules in its own favour.
Where is your best reporter on the 'russiagate' Aaron Mate, today in 2019 ? What happened to A.Parampil, Max Blumenthal, Ben Norton, or even Kim Brown.., why are they no longer on the network ?
Thanks for sharing that, well said
Too bad Aaron Matte was pressured by Paul Jay on Russiagate causing his departure. He’s was your best reporter and a loss for TRNN. Aaron appearanced on the Jimmy Dore show this past Saturday and It was truly enjoyable to watch them take their well deserved victory lap for being 100% correct for NOT pushing the biggest conspiracy since WMD.
Shouldn’t have fired Aaron Mate
Democratic Party Oligarchs have pushed the Russia-gate BS to keep the populous looking in the other direction while they worked with Trump to get tax breaks for themselves. I find it hard to believe that the DNC will allow anyone but an equally evil person to Trump to win like Beto who will say he's sorry while he rolls away more civil liberties and the safety net just as Obama did.
Russia “meddled†in the 2016 election how? Never has any independent person/agency been allowed to see this so-called evidence. Wikileaks denies they worked with Russians. They’ve NEVER lied.
Why is the TRNN carrying water for this bogus conspiracy theory? You lost Aaron Mate over it and you risk losing viewers and supporters like me. You guys do great work otherwise.
"the Trump/Russia thing"? Look at the policies towards Russia since trump took office. They can only be described as hawkish. you're better than this I hope Paul.
Tbh it doesn't seem like you side with American as a country, not people in the country just as a country.
Who is more gangster than the amuurican govt?
So glad that You lay bare the insights to go away from this ‘flat earth society’.
There is no Trump obstruction of justice and collusion of the 2016 election founded by the Mueller investigation to have been compromised by the Russians.
Whether Trump has a right to claim he was absolved of all connection to the Russians he will claim it anyway as political capital, encouraging his supporters.
Already the legal opposition reply to him as neither guilty or exonerated. What other way can the democrats find a smoking gun but through an investigation on Trump?
Now the big thing is the state prosecution of everything Trump. Trump will come back triumphant when a republican state governor in NY pardons Trump posthumously is what I call real forward thinking when NY Subways are on the brink of dysfunction and break down for some 14 million people and it cost more to make people homeless than it does to keep them in a home. NYC and NY is a land of two separate realities where what is up is down and what is down is up, left is right and right is left, a living contradiction in terms.
The lesson the Russians taught us is that we are not invulnerable to outside interference. The Russians and the Chinese have the same technology as the US, they also know how to manufacture crisis and interfere with elections if they wanted. Doing so is not consistent with other objectives the Russians and Chinese have. It is the US that was put in its place, like a child it was shown the sand box belongs to other children too, the lives of other societies, are not toys to be played with. Deliberate destabilization, controlled chaos, disaster capitalism behind the facades of many distraction campaigns that took the public's eye from the real work of libertarianizing government by abolishing the rules restraining private property, is deceit.
There was another time when the Russians told the US to behave when it took sides in Syria, that it could penetrate its airspace and flew aircraft along the coastline of the Gulf of Mexico.Â
This is another way the elites dance with each other on the world stage.
Assange has, more than once, denied the DNC information came from Russia, and suggested it came from inside the organization. (A veiled hint, perhaps, in the direction of Seth Rich.) Since nothing he's said or written has, to my knowledge, been proven to be a lie, why should we believe anyone else over him on this? And when you say "The Trump-Russia relationship," Mr. Jay, what do you mean? Trump and some Russian oligarchs? Trump and Russian banks? Or Trump and the Russian STATE? That sort of vague blanket speculation is what has fed this dangerous nonsense for two years. It's like anyone else abroad saying, "America" – it's meaningless without specific context.
Derp… If you say so. Didn't mention Israel though did ya ?
Title of the video was easier to buy when you still had Aaron Mate working there tbh.
You got rid of Aaron Mate!!!
Russian oligarchs = fake jews , America oligarch fake jews . Politic = Le Maison cirque du soleil (Lucifer) some of us know the true
Our aipac owned political system is a corrupt broken one
Today's Russian oligarchs rose out of the collapse of the Soviet Union had received a good deal of assistance from Western banks and capital and they did this for a cut..The US played a major role in the election of Boris Yeltsin. Putin jailed some oligarchs and unseated US banks. Perhaps he is a gangster but so are US interests.. Their answer to the Putin problem? Bring in the more than willing, Pentagon..
