Politico spokesman Brad Dayspring also defended Vogel’s reporting. He said the 2017 article detailed instances in which Ukrainian officials “sought to raise questions” about Trump and his campaign, and detailed cooperation by Ukrainian officials with a Democratic National Committee consultant, Alexandra Chalupa, who was researching Manafort’s activities in Ukraine.
But Dayspring stressed that the article was limited in its assertions. It didn’t say these acts were comparable to Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, nor did it assert a broader conspiracy, he said. It “did not state that the Ukrainian government conspired with the Clinton campaign or the DNC,” he said.

Journalism, real journalism, died during the GWB administration.
Dan Rather's giant lie and subsequent fall from grace was emblematic. Rather was not fit to fetch coffee for Cronkite who revealed himself to be a raging liberal AFTER his tenure as news anchor was over and he was retired.
There are a few classic journalists still working, Catherine Herridge comes to mind, but they are very rare now. Entire networks have become propaganda apparatus for leftists like CNN.

‘I believe that President Trump is engaged in the most direct sustained assault on freedom of the press in our history. He has done everything he can to undercut the media, to try and delegitimize us, and I think his purpose is clear: to raise doubts when we report critically about him and his administration that we can be trusted.’___Fox News anchor and moderator Chris Wallace speaks to the guests and attendees during the third U.S. presidential debate.

I am skeptical of anything the press reports, not just about DJT.
He has just sharpened the focus on the press and they don't like it. Much like the FBI and CIA don't like the attention they are receiving.
One should always be skeptical of the press.
The act of being skeptical is part of being an analytical and open minded thinker.
This process is the antithesis of Donald J Trump.
I wouldn’t hitch my wagon to a compulsive, myopic liar with a grandiosity complex whom it is patently clear is not anywhere near as intelligent as he delusionally believes.
