Read CNN's response to Trump's accusations of false reporting
CNN ^ | January 11th, 2017 | Unattributed

Posted on 01/11/2017 10:39:20 AM PST by Mariner

(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.

Go pound sand, Commie News Network. I hope Mr. Trump follows up by ordering Spicer to ban you from the daily WH briefings until you do a full kowtow on this.

Who would believe ANYTHING in a report that had attached to it some fanfic about pissing hookers, sent from a 4chan troll to nevertrumper and some other “journalists” months ago. All archived on 4chan! That makes the entire report suspect....no, sorry, A JOKE. If the intel agencies included THAT as proof of something then they are liars and political hacks.

They have the gaul to challenge Trump to identify which part of their report was inaccurate.

Let’s start with Michael Cohen. The report specifically says Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen.

So tell me how that was carefully sourced, Tapper.

CNN makes me sick. They pump garbage into millions of homes and call it “news”. It is not news, it is mostly partisan garbage.

This is the same CNN that gave Hillary Clinton the questions to the debate before the debate. Enuf said.

The recent Rasmussen poll listed CNN as the least trusted news network — even behind MSNBC!

“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.”

Just don’t use the word “accurate”, you idiots!

The bottom line is that CNN will go out of its way to push any narrative and to shine a light on any news that will put Trump in a bad light. It doesn't matter how they try to rationalize their "reporting."

The American people (well, most) are smart enough to recognize CNN's agenda. This is the price CNN pays for its many YEARS of slanted reporting. When you compromise your independence and objectivity, you have no credibility when you try to present something as independent new reporting. It is easily branded as FAKE NEWS regardless if its fake or not.

It is nobody's fault except CNN's.
