CNN misreported key details of an offer made to Donald Trump Jr. last year of a batch of stolen Wikileaks documents.

The story, which CNN published on Friday and covered extensively on TV, was touted as the first evidence that the Trump campaign was given a heads-up about documents stolen from Democrats.

CNN is reporting that the Trump campaign in 2016 apparently refused a request for help from a Nigerian Prince in a deep financial turmoil. This refusal of foreign aid to the deeply troubled African country only proves what an absolute racist Donald Trump is!

The Nigerian Official reportedly sent the Trump campaign a desperate plea for help via his only means of communication which was E-mail. This desperate plea for help on behalf of his country and his people was summarily filtered to the SPAM folder on the Trump Campaign E-mail server in a callous act of indifference!

The Trump campaign claims it DIDN’T EVEN KNOW about the E-mail that was sent to them!

Well, when Soros gives you money, he expects you to put out his news.

Utterly fascinating watching ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN imploding right before our eyes with anti-Trump rage attempting to destroy the truth right before their eyes. This past week has been a banner week for exposing them for what they are.

I’m sure this is an innocent mistake.

Funny thing is, even when the mistake is pointed out, they still don’t edit the date. If that doesn’t prove malice, I don’t know...

Just over a year ago, the Party's planners created the term "fake news" to use against their online competitors, who were destined to be marginalized and silenced after the election. But the election went awry, the weapon turned in their hands, and it bit them.

And now, as lie after lie is exposed, it just keeps biting and biting.

Is CNN # of viewers really that low.

My thoughts after being around libs all my life is that they believe everything coming out of CNN

All two hundred thousand of them.

And if Wikilieks gave Trump a heads up, so damned what??? If the Russians gave him a heas\ds up it is of no consequence so long as he did not conspire actively with the Russians to gain such information. If the Russians gave Assange the leaks and Assange made the offer there is no collusion with the Russians. That is, of course, having to posit that the murdered staffer who collected and gave the leaks to Wiki was a Russian agent and known to be so.

This should be in breaking news in my opinion.

This is also very sad to see how bad things really are. I guess we are going to the mattresses next.

At some point someone in a position of authority at CNN or stockholder parent company need to step in and clean house.

Pretty soon if they don’t then there will be serious trouble.

At least ABC saw the light (actions speak louder than words)

There is no story. Wikileaks published this stuff and some person simply emailed the campaign saying hey all this stuff is now online. The article acts surprised CNN could get this so wrong, but anytime who watches CNN for an hour knows it’s become a dem propaganda outlet and worse.
