CNN's Cillizza Sides with Anonymous Atlantic Tale, Skips Over the Moustache Man
Newsbusters ^ | September 6, 2020 | P.J. Gladnick

CNN's Chris Cillizza hyped the Atlantic magazine smear upon President Donald Trump on Friday (updated on Saturday) in "Here's the problem for Donald Trump with the Atlantic story." Well, to paraphrase that title, here's the problem for Chris Cillizza with the Atlantic story: it never even mentioned the one very prominent non-anonymous source that came forward to upend that story, namely John Bolton. Since Bolton was very inconvenient to the narrative Cillizza was trying to promote, he simply avoided acknowledging him in any way.

Here is Cillizza hyping anonymous sources while skipping mention of a very real credible source that contradicts the smear that Trump mocked U.S. war veterans buried at a cemetery in France.

Where oh where can the mythical anonymous sources be? Oh, there is a real one who came forward? Naw! I think I'll skip him so I can cling to my fairy tale.

We are supposed to believe that the same MSM that had a hissy fit over Trump having two scoops of ice cream would sit on a story for two years where he allegedly disparaged dead Marines. Riiight.

This supposedly happened in 2018 and they thought they’d hold onto it until now?! Ass hole liars. And Trump supporters are to believe this tripe? This will have 0 effect

Four guys sat on this situation...never chatting with journalists...until now? If the situation had actually occurred...back during the impeachment...it would have been brought up.

Trump should sue the authors, the editors and the Atlantic as well as its owner (Steve Job’s wife) for libel. The depositions would be very interesting and revealing. At the least it would be a great counter-attack.

Polly begins to untangle Crowdtangle. important info on fact-checkers etc:

Youtube: 41m49s: 5 Sept: Amazing Polly: The Tangled Web of Cover Upperers
In this video I expose one of the major tools that both Corrupt State Department officials & phony ‘Fact Checkers’ use to stop the spread of news that threatens their Global Corruption Racket! Are the riots in the US linked to the same shady apparatus is covering up the Ukraine scandals? Are the child trafficking cover-upperers using the tools, too?

Where oh where can the mythical anonymous sources be?

The mythical source is from Sonny Corleone at the end of The Godfather 2. He tells Micheal that people that go to die for their country are "saps".

The press has been trying to portray Donald Trump as a NY gangster since he started running for President.

Their new narrative is, “I believe it even though it is not true”
