Read CNN's response to Trump's accusations of false reporting
CNN ^ | January 11th, 2017 | Unattributed

Posted on 01/11/2017 10:39:20 AM PST by Mariner

(CNN)CNN's decision to publish carefully sourced reporting about the operations of our government is vastly different than Buzzfeed's decision to publish unsubstantiated memos. The Trump team knows this. They are using Buzzfeed's decision to deflect from CNN's reporting, which has been matched by the other major news organizations.

We are fully confident in our reporting. It represents the core of what the First Amendment protects, informing the people of the inner workings of their government; in this case, briefing materials prepared for President Obama and President-elect Trump last week.

The Onion is more believable than CNN could ever hope to be.

“Yes, the First Amendment protects fake news.
As it should.
ONLY the citizens are in a position to determine what’s “fake”.”

My comment was to imply that’s what CNN produces - fake news.

[[We are fully confident in our reporting.]]

The more they speak, them ore they expose themselves-

[[We are fully confident in our reporting.]]

Then put yer big boy pullups on and admit you lied, and ask forgiveness, and perhaps the people will begin to trust you after some time has passed and you prove you are a reliable news source- until then- You all got caught lying about donald trump lying over and over again about republicans, suppressing news that is damning to democrats etc-

Own it CNN! You are liars! You aint foolin anyone with your immature denial of the facts-

The report specifically says Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen. So tell me how that was carefully sourced, Tapper.

The gullible will believe the CNN apology was heartfelt. Even my crossword puzzles ask for a three-letter word describing "headline news." Perpetual fake news and anti-Trump misinformation has become CNN legacy.

Michael Cohen has hopefully turned this over for litigation.

I’ve browsed 4chan a few times. It’s interesting but not something I’d want to do regularly.

If Cohen is not a millionaire, he will be.

He knows the Senate can literally throw him out for treason. Hard to get rid of a Senator, but that is in black and white that the Senate can expel a Senator for treason.

4chan is something like a room full of displaying teenage chimps high on cocaine speedballs.
I find it stimulating, but too much makes my head hurt.

It seems that the msm isn’t very concerned about all the polls showing that peoples’ trust in the media is at an all-time low, and that’s very low.

Yellow journalism...

LOL. A reminder that CNN is owned by Time Warner and we FReepers should consider boycotting the businesses of Time Warner when possible... NOTE: Time, Fortune Magazine and other magazine were spun out into Time Inc., a different company.

Read it? I think not. There isn’t one thing CNN might have to say that I care to read or hear.
