While they did not tell any details, they actually made it sound like there was some horrible damaging stuff in there. The also said that their intelligence sources were indicating that the former MI6 agent was considered a credible source.
My opinion is that their report was actually worse than what Buzzfeed did, because they tried to make it appear that there was credible, damaging information, and they simply couldn't report the details until the IC had time to verify it.
They are being disingenuous like a lawyer. Careful statements designed to smear without a specific misstatement - reminds me of the definition of "is"
They have yet to reveal the 4Chann connection which punked them all.
i downloaded the orignial. knowing it would be changed. not sure how to post
Very skilled propagandists. They know how to surf nuance and create weasels (verbal and visual presentations that make the untrue sound like absolute truth).
4 0f their news fraudsters were on C-Span Book TV Jan 1 re Thos. Lake book: “Unprecedented”. Dana Bash, Brian Stifter, Patti Solis Doyle & Amanda Carpenter. Very revealing of the total and very dark hatred of Trump. Corrupt News Network poses as fairbroker of the facts but delivers virtually non-stop propaganda for the left.
The tone and content of your little article reveal that while it MAY fall to the Executive to substantiate their complaints, there is another body before which you must justify yourselves: the public.
We remember. We remember Candy Crowley. We remember YOUR staff sharing information with one campaign. We have no reason to take you at your word.
And there is yet another party concerned and involved. I imagine few at CNN are much concerned with the God of the Christians and the Jews, but there is reliable indication that he very much opposes bearing false witness.
Justice itself, if you are not happy with what you would probably call “cruder” ideas of God, opposes being careless about the truth, suppressing what is true and suggesting what is false. So let us personify justice and say he also has a seat at this table.
Your documented and undeniable partisanship places the republic in peril. But if, by some unforeseen eventuality, we Biblical theists are right, you place yourselves in far greater peril.
Dear CNN,
Have you stopped beating your wife yet? Yes or No answers only.
Sincerely,

What CNN did was far worse than BuzzFeed. BuzzFeed clearly expressed skepticism about the story in their lead paragraph, noting numerous errors and improbabilities in the report, whereas CNN breathlessly reported the story in total seriousness with no critical reasoning exhibited whatsoever. Now they are lying and pretending this is a First Amendment issue. The First Amendment has never protected libel, nor is it an excuse for sloppy reporting.
It doesn’t matter what CNN reports from now on, we all know they’re traitors.
original cnn report 1/11 before the obama speach

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”
To me....CNN does not exist...and never will!!! End of story!!!
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.
CNN, an important tool in the disinformation campaign.
Next CNN Report: Memo circulated in high leadership circles that Trump is an Alien
You see how that works, the memo is real so therefore the reporting is legitimate
CNN: “Mr. Trump, When did you stop beating your wife?
We never said that you beat your wife, how dare you attack us.
Buzzfeed was the one that stated that you beat your wife, even though they have zero evidence.
We would never do such a thing, we are “journalists”. We just asked a question, based on news reports. It’s our job to keep the public informed on the activities of the president elect.”
Thank you. I so agree that what CNN did was worse. More damage through innuendo, then in the actual truth.
CNN’s still pissed that their bitch didn’t win the fight and they got caught cheating in the process. One can only cry wolf so many times...
CNN, MSNBC, CBS and rest of liberal media on TV are going to face federal rules changes and possibly a breakup. Just like MaBell, they are going to get “shared”.
