Most Under-Reported Big Story

Writes David Martin

Tara Reade’s Defection to Russia

This looks like a very rational decision on Reade’s part to me.  The very light reporting given to her allegations all along was a very bad sign for her, suggesting that she would never get any protection from our nation’s molders of public opinion.  One could imagine reading about her unfortunate “suicide” almost any day.  Had Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the “DC Madam,” demonstrated Reade’s prudence, she would, in all likelihood, be alive and well today.

While on the subject of underreported defections to Russia, we should not forget about John Mark Dougan, who used to have a Wikipedia page.  He seems to be happy with his decision and has recently done some very powerful reporting from Ukraine.  I’ll bet Julian Assange wishes that he had followed the Dougan-Snowden-Reade route.
