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.

Well, we won this one in spite of it. The war on freedom is never over - like Reagan said, we are only one generation away. So we just have to keep on fighting.

And these tech companies are powerful, but we have the power of prayer and trust in God, so the prayer warriors are very important, and where there is a will there is a way.

I grew up when the news media was trying to sell: Better Red than Dead - it didn’t work. Propaganda only works for a while. Their credibility is now shot.

I agree. See earlier post.

Want to do something to handle CNN fake news???

How bout this.

If you subscribe to cable or satellite/dish TV demand that that you want CNN is removed from your subscription service.
You do not want the CNN channel and refuse to pay for it.

It’s absolutely hilarious to see the person who be President of the United States of America tell a CNN journalist that they are disingenuous, are reporting fake news, tells them he won’t answer their fake lying questions, and stops very short of straight up calling the guy a liar. It’s absolutely epic and amazing in such a good way.

I nearly believe I have somehow quantum shifted to an alternate reality where everything is awesome.

Jake Tapper of CNN says, “And when Mr. Trump went after our own Jim Acosta, saying he’s fake news and he isn’t going to call for him, what I suspect we are seeing here is an attempt to discredit legitimate, responsible attempts to report on this incoming administration with irresponsible journalism that hurts us all, and the media going forward should keep that in mind. So, that’s one, just to get that out of the way.”

Jake Tapper of CNN is spreading more #FAKENEWS - that CNN practices “legitimate, responsible attempts to report on this incoming administration”

'Ey, CNN, one of the masters of sources that do not wish to be identified, and confidential sources, and other non-existent sources, REALLY expects us to believe them? Unbelievable.

I haven’t heard anything so ridiculous since the infamous “it all depends on what the meaning of is is”

I see.

So CNN expects us to do their job!!

They failed. They pushed #FAKENEWS. And have been doing it for years.

Now they are caught red handed for the world to see. And they now want the people to do their job.

I say, “YOU’RE FIRED!!”

It's Martin Short doing a skit as a business executive being grilled by 60 Minutes.

See post 73 for a quote from the skit. Then try and find it on youtube. It's hilarious when he starts sweating and shaking while he sucks on that cigarette.

I think you and I are on the same page. Just INSINUATING that there is a REPORT about Trump and saying it is “not verified” will lead news consumers to think it might be true.

So CNN gets to slam DJT without doing it overtly.
