In 2012, then president, Barrack Obama called Vladimir Putin to congratulate him on his shocking rigged election win.Guess what happened? There was literally one, single, article published about it in Foreign Policy magazine (a publication that is largely only read by foreign policy academics and reporters).
Now, in all fairness, there was a scandal that also hit shortly after Obama congratulated Putin that the media covered, but not in the way you might guess…. they attacked Republicans.
