Will CNN and MSNBC Admit Their Complicity?

One part of the indictment from the special prosecutor against a group of Russians concerning the 2016 election discusses the competing rallies that the Russians organized for the day after the election in 2016.  The first rally was a "support Trump" rally; the second was a "not my president" rally against Trump.  In an interesting article, a reporter went back to look at the coverage of the Not My President rally at Trump Tower on that day.  CNN and MSNBC featured the rally prominently in their coverage for hour after hour.  The supposed reporters at CNN even told viewers that the event was extremely well organized and that it had been put together by a local college student.  That seems unlikely, as getting these rallies set up is a time consuming and difficult undertaking, particularly in New York.  The unlikely supposed fact that they were reporting did not lead the CNN investigative crew to uncover the truth:  the rally had been organized by the Russians.  I wonder if CNN and MSNBC will now report how they helped the Russians in their efforts (whether wittingly or not).
