Jake Tapper: CNN Didn’t Get ‘Anything’ Wrong In Russiagate Reporting
Daily Caller ^ | 03/31/2019 | Chuck Ross

Despite Tapper and Cuomo’s denials, CNN has been plagued by errors in its reporting on the Russia investigation.


CNN issued a massive correction Dec. 7, 2017, to a story that claimed Donald Trump Jr. had been sent an email Sept. 4, 2016, that contained undisclosed information from WikiLeaks. It turned out CNN’s sources provided the wrong date for the email. Trump Jr. actually received the email Sept. 14, 2016, a day after the information contained in the email had been made public.


CNN was also forced to correct a June 7, 2017, article (co-authored by Tapper) that claimed James Comey would dispute President Donald Trump’s claims that Comey had told him he was not under investigation. Comey undercut the report during his testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.


CNN was also embarrassed by one of its reports regarding the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower. CNN reported July 27, 2018, that former Trump attorney Michael Cohen would be willing to tell the special counsel he overheard Donald Trump Jr. tell his father about the Trump Tower meeting, which involved several Russians.


The story fell apart after Cohen’s lawyer, Lanny Davis, said Cohen did not know for certain whether Trump Jr. mentioned the meeting to his father. Davis also admitted to being a source for CNN and other news outlets that matched CNN’s initial report.


Beyond errors on individual stories, CNN routinely hyped allegations of collusion involving the Trump campaign. The network’s anchors and stable of analysts relentlessly pushed collusion conspiracy theories ever since the release of the Steele dossier, the infamous report alleging a “well-developed conspiracy” between the Trump team and Kremlin.

This isn't breaking news. Carl Bernstein beat Tapper to the punch. In fact Bernstein tells us have great he and his comrades are. "The record of the press in reporting the Russia story is actually pretty spectacular," Bernstein, who is also a CNN political commentator, said. "What I'm saying is the reporting on the Russia story and the Trump presidency has been excellent, by and large. And yes, reporters make mistakes. News organizations make mistakes. In Watergate, we made a mistake."

I’d have to agree with him.

They got EVERYTHING wrong.

Tapper has long been widely suspected as being CIA.

This technique was (and still is) used by the PLO whenever they suffered one of their humiliating defeats. Instead of admitting they lost, they held gigantic “victory celebrations,” loudly declaring themselves the heroes of a historic triumph over Israel.

Israeli drones circled overhead, recording everything.

The operative word is Reporting. There was none, just propaganda.

Exactamundo. Their goal was to repeat a lie but be united in the lie so the stories didn’t get mixed up.

The Ministry of Propaganda is mighty proud of them.

Interesting that Brian Stetler, SE Cupp, and now Jake Tapper all think CNN should be credited with excellent reporting on the Russiagate hoax. Of course all three do happen work for CNN so what kind of integrity can really be expected? Sheesh!

You see the Culture of Death mentality in their protests, which are very abundant on You Tube. Another example is with their Abortion Mills.

They had “sources” upon whom they relied to construct stories about DJT collusion with Russians, which in the end, the SC determined to be a complete fallacy.

Has any media company outed these errant “sources.”

I wonder if Bob Woodward is still friends with Bernstein. I don’t know how anyone could put up with that ego.
