(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.

It’s going to be this way for 4 years. Everyone in the MSM is in an undeclared, but very real, competition to be the person who can say, “I was the man who brought down Trump.” THAT - not fairly reporting the news - is their all-consuming objective.

"Our local news channel links news to CNN. None of it is even news. Its all objective driven speculation with unnamed sources, experts believe, or their favorite, there are some."
Yep. I can just hear it a year from now: "Despite a growing economy, some experts warn that . . . "

My local ABC affiliate covered this story today, and it was interesting the way they wove the words "unsubstantiated" and "unverified" into the story in such a way as to suggest that the stories were true but just couldn't be proven to be true.
They would use the word "unsubstantiated" very differently regarding a story like "pizzagate," in which they would leave no doubt that no sane person could believe there was anything true about the story.

The ultimate goal of the leftists, msm, demoncrats, RINOs, and GOPe, is to get Trump from ever sitting as President.
Exhibit 1:
This weeks attack on Trump by the CIA, to Buzzfeed and promoted by CNN and all other msm.
Look here at what Politico said regarding trying keep Trump out of the Whitehouse.
"DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO BECOME THE PRESIDENT IN NINE DAYS. Unless he steps down -- extraordinarily unlikely -- short of impeachment, there is no mechanism weve heard of to strip him of the job. Theres also no movement among Republicans to prevent him from taking the White House." [ http://www.politico.com/playbook ]
Exhibit 2:
It started all the way back with Megyn Kelly. She thought it was her role to create the news. To take down a candidate. And this attitude with the msm, leftists, demoncrats, GOPe, and RINOs, has continued to this day. Attack, Attack, Attack.
This isn't going to stop after inauguration.
The msm, leftists, demoncrats, GOPe, and RINOs, will continue their attacks. They believe that they can, and should, be the ones creating news. Creating who sits as president and who doesn't. They are not pleased that Clinton lost. It shows their failure to make #FAKENEWS stick.
They will continue to create #FAKENEWS hoping some lie or another will stick. Hoping that they can remove/impeach Trump.
It is going to be nasty for four years.
Buckle up.

You're preaching to the choir. Somewhere on one of these threads, I said that the main goal of the MSM right now is not to report the news, but to bring down Trump by any means necessary, even if that means encouraging (with plausible deniability) attempts on his life.
And it seems that elements within our own intelligence agencies are willing to be part of that effort.

And he has a first amendment right not to talk to them.
