I wrote yesterday about CNN’s latest fiasco, the alleged email scoop that fizzled. Some have wondered why CNN, apparently “burned” by two sources that told CNN about the email but got the date critically wrong, hasn’t disclosed who they were. CNN says it hasn’t outed its sources because it thinks they made an innocent mistake:
I don’t think there is any mystery about why CNN doesn’t want to say who its sources were. As I wrote yesterday, they were almost certainly Democratic members or staff of the House Intelligence Committee, before which Donald Jr. testified on Wednesday. Those Congressmen or staffers fed the “scoop” to CNN, describing the email while getting the date wrong, even though the date was the only thing that made the communication arguably newsworthy. CNN rushed the story onto television and its web site without, as Donald Jr. points out, even bothering to contact him for his side of the story.
Identifying CNN’s sources would make it blindingly obvious to all that CNN was merely carrying water for the Democratic Party. CNN intends to continue doing exactly the same thing in the future–reporting uncorroborated “news stories” it is fed by Democrats on Capitol Hill–so by keeping its sources secret, the network is protecting itself, not the sources.

It’s time to pull their White House press credentials. There has to be consequences for this kind of behavior.

Because they are fake
Ask Gloria Allred for the yearbook. Same result.
CNN doesn’t have sources..they just go around their newsroom and ask the idiots they work with who despise Trump to make up a story, then they run with it..but first they ask the DNC if its OK
There is rising speculation that Trump is intentionally feeding false information to specific individuals who are suspected of leaks. When the information gets leaked he then knows exactly who leaked it, because no one else was given that specific data. Maybe that’s why CNN is so scared. OTOH, Trump would already know the identity of the leaker by the date on the leak.
The source indeed has a pencil-neck.
‘Rats leaking to ‘Rats.
They are keeping it in the fam.
I’m sure they will eventually be revealed. In court.
CNN threatened to dox a private citizen that made a joke they didn’t like.
Now they won’t tell us who the members of Congress spreading fake news are.
Go figure!
Simple, it is not about truth, it is about promulgating an agenda, whatever that agenda is about —determined by the fool in charge.
CNN, just making sh*t up as we go.
Why does Jake Tapper always look like he’s got half a turd stuck in the pipe?
Or maybe it is something else.
Talk show host Chris Plante made the interesting observation that media bias is similar to art that contains a cleverly hidden image inside another image. Like the hidden image, once you see the overwhelming and constant media bias, you can’t unsee it, even if you try.
