NBC Issues Correction After Falsely Claiming Putin ‘Does Not Deny’ Having Compromising Info on Trump
Breitbart ^ | 06/04/17 | Tony Lee

Posted on 06/05/2017 6:05:06 AM PDT by Enlightened1

NBC News was forced to issue a correction on Sunday evening after spinning its newest talent Megyn Kelly’s interview to falsely claim that Russian President Vladimir Putin “does not deny having compromising information” on President Donald Trump.

To promote the debut of Kelly’s “Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly” program, NBC News tweeted, “EXCLUSIVE: Putin does not deny having compromising information on President Trump in interview with @megynkelly.”

CNBC, NBC’s sister station, did not send out fake news, linking to the same story after tweeting, “Russia’s Putin denies having compromising information on Trump.”

Reuters also reported on the interview and tweeted, “Putin denies having compromising information on Trump.”

In the article NBC News tweeted, Putin is quoted as saying “this is just another load of nonsense” after Kelly asked whether he had “something damaging on our president,” in reference to the discredited BuzzFeed “Trump dossier.”

Here is the relevant part of the article that NBC News tweeted:

Asked whether “you have something damaging on our president?” Putin — who once worked as a KGB recruiter — replied: “Well, this is just another load of nonsense. Where would we get this information from?”

“Why, did we have some special relationship with him?” Putin asked. “We didn’t have any relationship at all. There was a time when he used to come to Moscow. But you know, I never met with him. We have a lot of Americans who visit us.”

The well-known spin master then attempted to turn the tables.

“Right now, I think we have representatives from a hundred American companies that have come to Russia,” Putin said. “Do you think we’re gathering compromising information on all of them right now or something? Have you all lost your senses over there?”

You know it's bad at NBC when CNBC and Reuters do not believe it and correct the headline.

This is from the article too.

“On Saturday evening, the network again displayed its blatant anti-Trump bias when NBC Nightly News’ twitter account, for some reason, decided to mock Trump’s suggestion that terrorists were behind the London Bridge attacks by sending out this tweet: “Pres. Trump has used Twitter to share news report on London incident. We aren’t relaying president’s retweet, as the info is unconfirmed.”

Have you all lost your senses over there?”

That is a loose translation.

If you were to translate it word for word it would be, "Jane, you ignorant, misguided sl*t".

Maybe they know if they tell that kind of like about Putin, their Moscow reporters will start having fatal pedestrian accidents? They know they can get away with lying about Trump, but maybe they respect Putin, for some reason?

The objective seems to be to keep as many people psychotically detached from reality as possible.

This is rich. After years of not giving a damn about Clinton’s multiple affairs and other scandalous behavior, all of a sudden, The Fake News Media is worried about Russia having information about a President that they can use to blackmail him with.

I hate to give the Devil (NBC) his due, but Putin did not directly answer the question. He said this was another load of nonsense and then added a question of his own, “Where would be get such information?” I trust that the Russians, as well as many other countries, would have the resources to get that information if it existed. It looks like a non-denial denial to me.

There was nothing but downside in this interview for her. First off, since the Russian election invention is totally devoid of real facts, once he tells her that she lives in a fantasy world, there is no follow up. Meghan has nothing to say at that point, because the DNC never found any Russian evidence, neither did Obama and Brennan. She looked stupid.

Anything Putin says, plus or minus can never be taken seriously anyway. She didn’t know how to approach him on other subjects to make him reveal anything. She channeled MSNBC and he laughed at her; it didn’t work. Way out of her league. The straps looked stupid as well.
