Prof. Stephen Cohen has been making the rounds of the radio and podcast circuit, fighting a respectable battle for common sense in the relationship to Russia.
Speaking to WNYC's Brian Lehrer, he decried the total lack of any facts to support the mainstream media's "Russia hacked the election" claims, comparing the hysteria being whipped up to a kind of neo-McCarthyism.
Cohen also discussed Trump's nomination of Rex Tillerson for secretary of state, and the media storm attempting to portray him as unfit based on his having known and done business with Vladimir Putin.
