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.

Face it , cnn. If it weren’t for having your crappy channel on airport tvs, your network would have appropriately died many, many years ago. Losers. Liars. Anti-American degenerates. I laugh at your uselessness.

No mention of the fact they KNEW it was a complete fabrication and that no responsible news organization would touch it.

Yes, other news organization turned down the info as it was unsubstantiated. That is the difference between them and CNN. Running with unproven, undocumented stories has been suicidal for CNN, yet they continue to do it and make excuses for doing it. Whoever is managing CNN should be fired as well as news anchors who drool over any and every chance to badmouth and delegitimize our new president-to-be. Their actions are resoundingly destructive and not constructive. That they have any paying sponsors at all is jawdropping.

I’ve always had greater respect for the slackers at 4chan than I ever had for CNN.

Now more than evah!

From a legal standpoint they won’t be sued.

From a crediblity point, they fried their own ass. Cooked their good. Killed the golden hen. Reinforced what we all knew, that they are ComDem shills.

CNN is going to be frozen out by important contacts if they continue this tack of Trump-hate.

It’s never a good thing to post scurrilous, unsubstantiated things as facts when they aren’t.

~and then try to double down.

Access to the WH is vital for a news organization, and if the president decides its not worth his time, they could lose even more than they already have.

The best course for them would be a heartfelt apology.

~or unemployment if they can’t.

CNN is shown in airports, waiting areas, and other public places. They need to divest themselves of CNN.

Get them out of the airports. Get them out of the train stations.

Exactly. It’s pretty easy to find out what someone was doing during August.

The fact the 4chan fanfic was attached to the other stuff “17 intel agencies” collected and reported lets you know their agenda and puts the lie to the entire report.

This is the price CNN pays for its many YEARS of slanted reporting.

Don't be kind. It hasn't been slanted reporting - it's PROPOGANDA! That's all they've been from the start, a wholly owned subsidiary of the global Left. (Im)pure and simple.

They probably should be providing a list of reporters and editors that are put on leave while they investigate. But then that would be acting as responsible adults.

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.

Do not forget that Valierie Plame and her piece of sh*t Husband Joe Wilson both came from the State Department and she from the CIA.

Over the years I have learned that the CIA and other agencies are packed to the brim with left-wing Ideologues with Ivy League degrees. They are liberal partisans, and this is why they have been taking sides in the various political disputes arising over the years.

I've read persuasive arguments that the hit on Richard Nixon was orchestrated by left wing ideologues in the "Intelligence" services. They have apparently been a problem for a very long time, and I hope Trump cleans out that sewer.

Should we worry that the new people will be inexperienced or incompetent? Well we've already had incompetence, and the experience the current crop possesses is the kind we don't want anyway.

I doubt a Kindergarten class could screw it up worse than our so called "experts" in our intelligence services.
