CNN’s Clinton Cash ‘Fact-Check’ Ends in Embarrassment for Cristina Alesci and Laurie Frankel

Those questions apparently did not occur to Cristina Alesci and Laurie Frankel.

Also, in addition to the $145 million being funneled to the Clinton Foundation before the CFIUS approval, why was a Kremlin-backed bank bankrolling a $500,000 speech in Moscow for Bill Clinton while his wife led the Russian reset? As even the progressive New Yorker magazine put it, “But there is a bigger question: Why was Bill Clinton taking any money from a bank linked to the Kremlin while his wife was Secretary of State?” Shockingly, CNN Money fact-checkers Alesci and Frankel make no mention of the Kremlin-backed $500,000 Clinton speaking payment.

Nor did CNN’s crack “fact-checkers” mention that the Clinton Foundation received $2.35 million in hidden, undisclosed donations from Ian Telfer, the former head of the Russian government’s uranium company—another fact that multiple liberal news outlets have confirmed.

Indeed, as Bloomberg, Washington Post, New Yorker, ABC News, New York Times, and myriad other Establishment media have all confirmed, Clinton Cash’s most explosive revelations are accurate.

Apparently, CNN’s Cristina Alesci and Laurie Frankel are among the last to know.

“Fact Checked” is the label applied to the biggest lies.

I handed the uranium information to Donald Trump, Jr. Four months ago and begged them to research it and see the connection. THe banning of uranium mining hurt my County as it was a huge industry for us. We used to be the biggest exporter, now we are the biggest importer.. and I believe without a shadow of a doubt it was for her and the Clinton Foundation.

The media has lost all credibility.

“The discredited Media” - our new mantra.

Enemedia, Lamestream Media (aka LSM), Dinosaur Media, Fifth Column - all good monikers, all correct...

Not sure when Fact Checkers started but it wasn’t that long ago. It has never been anything but spin and media propaganda. We need to debunk the entire notion of “FACT CHECKING”.

Sure. It depends on how you phrase the "fact" in question. FactCheck says the story that Ted Kennedy was on an no-fly watch list is a "MYTH." But think about it a minute: why would the government put a powerful Senator on the list?

No, the real story is that he was prevented from flying because he had the same name as somebody else on the list. That happens to a lot of people and it's a "FACT" that reveals a lot about how no-fly and watch lists are compiled and used.

But FactCheck chooses something that wasn't really a possibility and labels it a "MYTH" to choke off the conversation.
