Have you observed the curious silence surrounding the topic of Russian collusion in the media lately? During Trump’s inaugural term, it was practically the headline of every news outlet, yet now, it seems to have vanished from the public discourse. The media has simply moved on, as if it never even happened.
In a recent episode of Chris Cuomo’s podcast, comedian Tim Dillon raised an intriguing point about the lasting damage caused by the media’s relentless pursuit of this narrative, asserting that they have never issued an apology or acknowledged their missteps.
Dillon’s observation is striking and, frankly, under-discussed. A significant portion of our national media leveled serious accusations against President Trump, insinuating he was acting as an agent for a foreign adversary.
Here’s a partial transcript shared by Jason Cohen on Twitter/X:
“Regarding the Trump-Russiagate saga, the psychological toll on the nation is immense … Labeling the President of the United States as a foreign power’s asset and suggesting he was possibly groomed since the ’80s is no trivial matter.”
“It strikes me that there’s a lack of introspection from the media on this issue … No one has stepped forward to say, ‘We were wrong.’ Instead, we get, ‘Well, we didn’t find any evidence, but we still kind of think it’s true.’”

During the same podcast, Dillon also took a shot at Cuomo’s argument that Trump targeted Hunter Biden to ‘weaponize’ his addiction. Dillon, drawing from his own experiences, pointed out that, despite his history with addiction, he was never given the opportunity to run a company in Ukraine. Watch:

In conclusion, Tim Dillon’s sharp humor sheds light on the media’s failure to acknowledge the ramifications of its past narratives, while Chris Cuomo appears somewhat out of his depth in this discourse. The juxtaposition between Dillon’s candidness and Cuomo’s stammering defense underlines a broader issue: accountability in journalism—or the lack thereof.
