The media -- in this case NBC News -- has been doing some heavy lifting to help the Democrats get past all the inconvenient "Russia collusion" narrative-busting that's been going on. It started when Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified a trove of documents showing that then President Barack Obama orchestrated the manufacturing of a "Russia collusion" angle to use against Donald Trump heading into the 2016 election.
Earlier this week, here's how NBC framed the story:
Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's top intelligence official, leveled allegations against Obama that no U.S. spy chief has ever made against a former president or administration. https://t.co/9ITq2Qs4WL

Maybe that's because no president ever did such a thing, NBC.
The follow-up from NBC sure sounded familiar, and here it is:
Former Obama aides say they have to balance unnecessarily giving oxygen to unfounded Trump administration claims and allowing them to balloon unchecked. https://t.co/R72ZI78jaC

"We don't want to give oxygen to an unfounded allegation"?
Yeah, we've heard that before:
Maybe NBC will not get any more oxygen either https://t.co/tkSh05wCM3 pic.twitter.com/jAdZIEyQak

The media and Dems (as always, pardon the redundancy) didn't want to "give oxygen" to the laptop story either, and of course that turned out to be 100 percent true.
Translation: They already have the goods on us. Why should we shed further light on it?

When the lib media and Dems say a claim is "unfounded" that means there's a 99.99 percent chance that it's absolutely factual.
In case you’re wondering if NBC News is still totally in the tank for Barack Obama… https://t.co/Lawy5MpRjb

Here's NBC News looking at the evidence that Gabbard shared this week:
The media does have their own very obvious ways of trying to maintain plausible deniability.
