Read CNN's response to Trump's accusations of false reporting
CNN ^ | 1/11/2016 | CNN

Posted on 01/11/2017 8:45:52 PM PST by greeneyes

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.

Yes, in fact I think that somewhere in all this they did use the “seriousness of the charges”.

Yellow journalism? Perhaps we can say golden journalism...

Yes, CNN, the First Amendment will protect you. No one has suggested otherwise.

Lopeover: "CNN, and Buzzfeed should be banned"
Nevermind about that part of no one would suggest otherwise.

I know that. I think it's so funny that you think that I don't know that.

In related news, CNN has just reported that Nathan Thurm has been chosen as the next chairman of the DNC.

I don’t think people in media or the office of transition know that it was created by 4chan.
There was talk today that 4chan is speaking with their lawyers before coming forward
Even Drudge has not pointed out the origin of the hoax.

Clapper issued a statement tonight specifically denying that the circulated report was an IC product and he also wrote that the IC could not verify the accuracy of its content.

CNN also reported that Trump lawyer Michael Cohen met with Russian officials in Prague. The problem is that Cohen says he has never traveled to the Czech Republic and that he was with his son at USC at the time of the alleged meeting. So much for CNN vetting its reporting.

Over on Instapundit, commenters noticed that this dossier supposedly written by a British M16 Agent, referred to the "World Class Soccer Cup".

How many Brits do you know that refer to the game as "Soccer"? Others have noticed that there are "Americanisms" all throughout the document.

“It’s beginning to feel like they were hoping to make it seem like he was Manchurian Candidate so that they could have some excuse to delay the inauguration.”

Oh yes.

I heard this shortly after the election.

They even have a slogan: “no inauguration without investigation”.

They haven’t got much traction.

I hope not. CNN and MSNBC are vampires of the TV news. Give them a choice: Silver Bullet or Wooden Stake.

I listened to Trumps entire press conference today. He really took it to CNN and really bitch slapped the little pussy who tried to keep interrupting.
He also pointed out that the Russians would rather have the Hildebeast to push around than him.

Drudge did have a link a bit ago. It was either Daily Mail or Info Wars.

CNN used their 'credibility' as a major news org as a weapon against a president elect that they don't approve of.

Let us be clear. The "Press" did this to Eisenhower. Unsuccessfully. They did it to Richard Nixon successfully in 1960. They again did it to Richard Nixon successfully in 1975. They did this to Reagan in 1976, and did it again (unsuccessfully) in 1980. They tried again in 1984, and 1988. They succeeded magnificently in 1992, and again in 1996. They failed in 2000 and again in 2004, and their absolute most crowning success has been electing the first idiot President in 2008.

The media, dominated completely by the left wing party in the nation, *IS* a weapon, and it is long past the time when we should have amassed every ounce of power we have to either destroy this weapon, or take it away from them and turn it's power back on them.

The left wing monopoly of the airwaves is a dire threat to this nation and to our lives, and destroying it ought to be the goal we are most intent on achieving.

The internet news is replacing the dying media. However, the NDAA act has set up a ministry of truth, and Obama gave up the internet to Globalists.

Both actions need to be addressed.

Me either. I didn’t even know how to download it. It might be out on You Tube though.
