Remember the uproar when President Trump tweeted that the Obama administration had bugged his campaign? The media and the Democrats denounced the tweet as false. "Where's the evidence?" they all screamed. Media outlets like CNN reported on what they called the "unproven" or "false" allegations, and that was only when they were being nice. In all of the response, it was considered outrageous that Trump would claim to have had his campaign bugged.
Now, CNN itself has reported that both before and after the election, the FBI was wiretapping Paul Manafort who, for part of the relevant time, was the chair of the Trump campaign. If this report is correct, that means that President Trump's tweet was also correct. We're not likely to hear much coverage of that sort; most in the media don't like to admit that they were very wrong. Nevertheless, it's nice to know.
