Your driveway looks like ours. It is 25 here in upstate SC...snow and sleet galore. Many roads are closed due to the ice.

This article is one of the greatest take downs of the lying media’s attempts to damage President Trump:

Excellent article.

There are quite a few people who believe this latest media fiasco (wrong date) was a deliberate attempt/sting to catch leakers.

The New FBI Agency Everyone Forgot – Did Adam Schiff Just Get Caught in an Elaborate Counterintelligence Sting?…

Here's some more interesting news regarding leakers - Sara Carter (if she's not on par as an investigative journalist with Sharyl Attkisson, she's close to it & has been "spot on" thus far) says "she expects a "shakeup" after investigations into FBI leaks are concluded.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions told Congress last month there were 27 open investigations into leaks of classified information with a "political motive."

Carter said it's not clear if all of those probes are centered on the FBI, but she said the investigations have included lie-detector tests.

"This is a big investigation. What I know is that they have been running polygraphs on people within the FBI. They are looking for leakers and a lot more information is gonna come out. I think there’s going to be a shakeup," she said.

The story was that Trump had advance knowledge of wiki leaks when CNN actually go the date wrong,idiots.
................
From you link;

FRIDAY WAS ONE of the most embarrassing days for the U.S. media in quite a long time. The humiliation orgy was kicked off by CNN, with MSNBC and CBS close behind, with countless pundits, commentators and operatives joining the party throughout the day. By the end of the day, it was clear that several of the nation’s largest and most influential news outlets had spread an explosive but completely false news story to millions of people, while refusing to provide any explanation of how it happened.

The spectacle began on Friday morning at 11:00 am EST, when the Most Trusted Name in News™ spent 12 straight minutes on air flamboyantly hyping an exclusive bombshell report that seemed to prove that WikiLeaks, last September, had secretly offered the Trump campaign, even Donald Trump himself, special access to the DNC emails before they were published on the internet. As CNN sees the world, this would prove collusion between the Trump family and WikiLeaks and, more importantly, between Trump and Russia, since the U.S. intelligence community regards WikiLeaks as an “arm of Russian intelligence,” and therefore, so does the U.S. media.
................

There was just one small problem with this story: it was fundamentally false, in the most embarrassing way possible. Hours after CNN broadcast its story – and then hyped it over and over and over – the Washington Post reported that CNN got the key fact of the story wrong.

The email was not dated September 4, as CNN claimed, but rather September 14 – which means it was sent after WikiLeaks had already published access to the DNC emails online. Thus, rather than offering some sort of special access to Trump, “Michael J. Erickson” was simply some random person from the public encouraging the Trump family to look at the publicly available DNC emails that WikiLeaks – as everyone by then already knew – had publicly promoted. In other words, the email was the exact opposite of what CNN presented it as being.

To all who are gathering rope and tar and feathers, seems the politicians are secondary considerations.

The primary considerations are those in the media bent on the destruction of the United States.

The wild fire begins locally.
