NBC and Washington Post Rush to Present “Anonymous Sources” Again
Conservative Treehouse ^ | January 5, 2017 | Sundance

Posted on 01/05/2017 8:16:37 PM PST by detective

See if you can notice something familiar?

♦ NBC: “A senior U.S. intelligence official with direct knowledge confirmed to NBC News that the report on Russian hacking delivered to President Obama Thursday says that U.S. intelligence picked up senior Russian officials celebrating Donald Trump’s win.

He did say “He looks black.” The problem with the audio was that they made it appear that he said that Trayvon looking black was evidence of him being up to no good.

So, let me see if I understand the latest MediaMatters-approved FAKE NEWS:

Anonymous person says anonymous persons agree that hacking happened based on anonymous secret data, provided by source financed in part by Clinton-connected Democrats and the Clinton Foundation.

Is that about right?.

I don’t get it. Wouldn’t leaking this report be a violation of national security laws????

If it was a real story, perhaps. But... this is a NBC fake story which the rest of the MSM can now pick on by simply repeating it.

This leak, if it were not fake news, would compromise methods and sources, and all for a political class that refuses to honor the outcome of a free and fair election (minus the illegal voters).

Having read this earlier on Redstate a worry arises. Have the leakers also revealed that we are reading/listening to internal Russian comms ? By reading the supposed conversations the Russian FO and FSB would know exactly what comms were compromised and how it was done.

says that U.S. intelligence picked up senior Russian officials celebrating Donald TrumpÂ’s win. ............................ Can’t say I’d blame them, they weren’t celebrating a Trump win, they were celebrating a Clinton loss. Now they have someone they know will talk straight with them, not someone who wants to improve their image, through photo ops.

It may be a technical violation of national security law but no reasonable prosecutor could ever be found that would bring this case to trial. Lack of intent and complicated legal stuff like that. Is the sarcasm tag required here?

How are they not too embarrassed to go out in public after saying this stuff?

Because they have Guy Fawkes masks?

Exactly.

With sources not named, NBC can make up anything.
And hide behind unnamed, unverified sources.

Oldest trick in the Fake News business.

And let us not forget the fantastic FAKE journalism from the Washington Post.

“Biggest Liar of 2015: The Washington Post and Its Pinocchios”

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/12/biggest_liar_of_2015_the_washington_post_and_its_pinocchios.html

“The Post, of course, was an early and gleeful adopter of the narrative of the unarmed black person shot for no reason whatsoever by racist police in Ferguson who apparently did that kind of thing all the time.”

“The Post published the term ‘hands up, don’t shoot’ almost 700 times this year alone. Which is just a fraction of the stories that depended on this lie to tell even more lies.”

Ah, yes! Anonymous Sources have struck again with MORE fake news!

BTW, has anyone else noticed that pretty much ALL the “news” for the last few weeks has been faked using “Anonymous Sources”?

Naturally, the beauty of “Anonymous Sources” is that they can be made to say anything you want them to say! Anonymous Sources are the perfect fig leaf for FAKE NEWS! You want to fake some news? Anonymous Sources! You want to counter some fake news with MORE fake news? Anonymous Sources!

Heck, is there ANYTHING that Anonymous Sources can’t do? Anonymous Sources is even a great name for a new rock band! Why, Anonymous Sources would even be a great new superhero who could be paired with Captain Obvious!

Oh, and if these “leaks” are actually REAL leaks actually from REAL intelligence sources sworn by law to uphold secrecy, then President Trump should fire them, have them prosecuted and jailed if convicted.

I guess we are all “senior russian officials” then. I celebrated election night.

The big question is, so what if russian officials celebrated election night? So? They cant have a preference?

You dont think i would celebrate when merkel loses to a conservative nationalist who vows to kick the muslim jihads out of germany?
