Once again, the left wing media shoots itself in the foot. It proved that there are few journalists out there. Most of them are hacks- biased democrat operatives pretending to be authentic reporters so determined to visit harm on Donald Trump without regard for the truth. The latest left wing gaffe proved it conclusively.
Buzzfeed, the purveyor of the phony Trump dossier, was at it again. They breathlessly reported that Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie:
President Donald Trump directed his longtime attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, according to two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter.Trump denied it. Giuliani denied it.Trump also supported a plan, set up by Cohen, to visit Russia during the presidential campaign, in order to personally meet President Vladimir Putin and jump-start the tower negotiations. “Make it happen,” the sources said Trump told Cohen.
Didn't matter. The left wing media was not going to concern itself with proof. They were all over it. Led by CNN and MSNBC the hacks spewed "impeachment" two hundred times:
CNN and MSNBC collectively used the word “impeach” nearly 200 times on Friday before the Special Counsel’s office disputed a bombshell report by BuzzFeed News.Watch the glee as democrat operatives revel in impeachment dreams:According to a Daily Caller review of TV clipping service Grabien, personalities on CNN and MSNBC used the words “Impeach,” “Impeachment,” or “Impeachable,” 179 times.
The review included only original Friday programming and ran up until each network learned that BuzzFeed’s report was in dispute — shortly before 8 pm.
CNN mentioned impeachment 82 times while MSNBC mentioned it a whopping 97 times.
While some anchors and pundits hedged that the BuzzFeed story could only lead to impeachment proceedings “if true,” others repeated the story more uncritically and suggested that the president would be forced to resign and might even face obstruction of justice charges.
MSNBC’s Katy Tur, for example, stated at the top of her show that “Donald Trump is facing the most damming report to date for his presidency. A story that could lead to hisimpeachment.”
Both outlets also interviewed a number of Democratic congresspeople to get their thoughts on the possibility of impeachment of the president. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, for example, spoke to Democratic Rep. Jim Himes about the implications of the BuzzFeed report if it turned out to be verified, while MSNBC host Chris Matthews brought on Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu.
Then something happened to dampen all the wet dreams. In a highly unusual move, Mueller's office publicly disputed the report:
Special counsel Robert Mueller's office is pushing back Friday against a report that claimed President Trump told his attorney Michael Cohen to lie in congressional testimony about his business dealings with Russia.CNN's Jeffrey Toobin offered a damage assessment:The new allegations, published by BuzzFeed on Thursday, relied on statements from unnamed federal law enforcement officials.
“BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the Special Counsel’s Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s Congressional testimony are not accurate,” said Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller's office.
After Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office disputed a Friday “bombshell” BuzzFeed report, based on anonymous sources, that claimed President Donald Trump ordered his then-personal lawyer Michael Cohen to lie about a proposed Trump Tower project in Russia, CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said BuzzFeed’s disputed story “reinforces” the belief that many Americans have that the media “are a bunch of leftists liars” who are willing to lie to “get” Trump.Damn right it did.“This is a bad day for the news media. Let’s not kid ourselves,” Toobin said on CNN. “The larger message that a lot of people are going to take from this story is that the news media are a bunch of leftist liars who are dying to get the president, and they’re willing to lie to do it.”
Toobin said he did not “think that’s true,” but again added that “this is a bad day for us” because “it reinforces every bad stereotype about the media.”

Once you destroy your own credibility the way the MSM has done there’s no possibility to get it back. They’ve made themselves into laughingstocks.
Enemies of the Republic.
The Left is the spirit of antichrist which after the church is taken up to heaven (VERY soon) will usher in the most horrific seven years on the earth ever imagined.
This reminds of a charming anecdote I read about the apostle John: he and a group of friends went to the local Roman bathhouse; while they were there a major Gnostic heretic named Cerinthus came in.
When John saw Cerinthus he started hollering for everybody to get out “lest the roof fall on our heads because Cerinthus, that enemy of the truth is within.”
bttt
The news media are a bunch of leftist liars who are dying to get the president, and they’re willing to lie to do it
