between their reporting and The INTERCEPT, the Glenn Greenwald publication.
For example, Aaron Mate is a reporter at The Nation who has also written for The Intercept.
In this piece from a few days ago, which is typical, he disparaged the idea that there was any kind of collusion between the Russians and the Trump team.
I hope everyone will take the time to read Mueller's actual report, not The Nation's or The Intercept's spin on it.

10. THERE WAS NO COVER-UP
The Mueller report does not just dispel the conspiracy theories that have engulfed political and media circles for two years; it puts to rest the most popular, recent one: that Attorney General William Barr engaged in a cover-up. According to the dominant narrative, Barr was somehow concealing Muellers damning evidence, while Mueller, even more improbably, stayed silent.
