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.
We made it clear that we were not publishing any of the details of the 35-page document because we have not corroborated the report's allegations.
Given that members of the Trump transition team have so vocally criticized our reporting, we encourage them to identify, specifically, what they believe to be inaccurate.

Wonder if CNN will survive 2017? #FakeNews
It proves everything we've always thought about their unbelievable bias, in spades. President Trump should never take another question from them again. They should be laughed out of the press room from now on.
CNN= a bunch of rat turds
Well I’m soooo grateful that you are amused.
Daily Caller has two stories up that are missing from Free Republic.
One reports that Michael Cohen could have a defamation suit against BuzzFeed, as a private citizen plaintiff.
The second reports this British disinformation hit man was also hired by Planned Parenthood to create positive spin on their sale of baby parts.
I also read that Cohen posted a copy of his passport proving it.
This from the organization that told you it was illegal for anybody but the media to look at the WikiLeaks documents.
Here is the 1st reporting of this manufactured inuendo of scandalous and scurilous lies.

The Deplorables aren't going to want to play nice if the Establishment weasels try to do something to our new President.
LOL. That’s right. Cuomo wasn’t it? I’d forgotten about that. What interesting times we live in. Most interesting post - election ever.
“..CNN the originators of Fake News!”
Yes, they are good at fake news about fake news....
Thanks for the link.
They couldn’t substantiate it, so they ran with innuendo. But that’s supposed to be O.K. Because, in the spirit of Dan Rather, it isn’t the truthfulness of the source, it’s the seriousness of the charge!
They jumped the shark months ago, and now they are headed into the abyss. LOL
They were punked, fell for it, and refuse to admit it.
Irrelevant. This became one story when Buzzfeed leaked the “report”. CNN owns it all.
De Nada....
Well done!
I made that very point myself on an earlier thread. When Reagan fired PATCO, the Russians said to themselves, "This is a man who means what he says." It influenced Soviet/US relations for the rest of the Reagan administration.
I sure miss him.
How Trump brings CNN to heel and destroys Buzzfeed will be closely watched by every bully on earth.
Yup.
“One reports that Michael Cohen could have a defamation suit against BuzzFeed, as a private citizen plaintiff.”
Oh, make so!
