WATCH: NPR's senior business editor Uri Berliner details how the newsroom was overtaken by Trump Derangement Syndrome after 2016 and how the "media" uncritically pushed Adam Schiff's garbage Russia collusion theory because they wanted to damage President Trump in an interview with Bari Weiss:

"...Trump's election, you know, I think like every newsroom, every legacy media knows when we were shocked, disturb, distraught, really troubled, we assumed Hillary Clinton was going to win. And, and she didn't, and it was a really an unsettling experience. But I also think, to me, it revealed that we didn't really understand a lot of what was going on in America, that we were out of touch. But I think also we we kind of locked down after a while, I think after a while we started covering Trump in a way that that, like a lot of legacy news organization, that we were trying to damage his presidency. Anything we could to harm him. And I think what we latched on to was Russia collusion, like a lot of news organizations, which was, as I write sort of catnip, although it was just rumors, and a lot of it based on pretty shoddy documents or evidence there was it wasn't really solid."

Berliner adds: "A lot of newspapers use documents or anonymous sources. We really latched on to Adam Schiff. He was like our muse to the Trump collusion story. We had him on constantly, a lot. I think I counted 25 times. You know, and, and in most of those conversations, he sort of alluded to evidence he may have had or sort of teased out, yeah, Russia, you know, he was colluding, or the campaign was colluding with Russia. And then the Muller report came out and no collusion. And, you know, I think we sort of let the story kind of disappear... Despite our feelings about Trump, this is a story we should have sort of treated differently."
