[E. Pluribus Unum]

Unbelievable. They are still in denial.

[Brandonmark]

And there is no prospect soon for full clarity on the veracity of the claims made against him.

This sentence near the end of this fake news story indicates exactly why this newspaper can never be trusted.

[PGR88]

Unverified but explosive

Translation: its likely all lies, but it sounds very salacious, so we're printing it anyway.

[boatbums]

Seven months ago, a respected former British spy named Christopher Steele won a contract to build a file on Donald J. Trump’s ties to Russia.

Any word on WHO awarded this "contract"???

[Lopeover]

Continuing the fake news.

[11Bush]

My God, they actually write this crap an think that we, and the world, are completely ignorant.

leaked to CNN on Tuesday, and the rest of the media
Leaked by whom? Yet we are to just believe the MediaWhores without any questions. The person may become public, and I hope Trump has a field day making his life miserable.

most critically the basic question of how much, if anything, in the dossier is true
But since we are in the back pocket of the, insert proper group here, we are going to go with the story anyway. Again, I hope Trump, or his lawyers, have a good time with this one.

former British spy named Christopher Steele won a contract to build a file
Heaven forbid the bastards should even think to find out who the contractor is. I would guess that Mr. C. Steele is looking for a deep hole to call home.

Fake news...

If you’re reading the NY Times in the morning, you’re hprobably aving spam fakes and eggs

[Vendome]

Parts of the story remain out of reach — most critically the basic question of how much, if anything, in the dossier is true.

You need to seek psychiatric care STAT.

They got the wrong Michael Cohen.

Trump never hired a battalion of hookers and had them pee on some bed, because he hates Obama so much.

There are plenty of others errors in this contrived pap but, at this point, it seems apparent this Christopher Steele created a complete work of fiction.

By the Effin Way: “Why has no one interviewed Christopher Steele and tested him on the veracity of contrived document, with it’s synthetic claims???????????

[Alas Babylon!]

...involving private sleuths-for-hire looking for the worst they can find about the next American leader.

And we call them the driveby media!

Classic fake news.

State of the art modus operandi for presenting fake news.

Press knows so-called dossier is unverifiable (i.e. fake) so don’t publish it.

Later, a weak news click-bait site on a downward spiral finally publishes it.

So-claimed legitimate news then reports on the “controversy”.

[Girlene]

Unbelievable. They are still in denial.

Maybe some of them are, but the NYT knows their audience. Their audience wants to read crap like this. They don't care if it's not true, they just need it to conform to their view of Trump.

[Yo-Yo]

Parts of the story remain out of reach — most critically the basic question of how much, if anything, in the dossier New York Times is true.

There, fixed it.

[Sgt_Schultze]

From Walter Duranty to Jason Blair, now to Donald Trump, the NYTimes demonstrates again, it has perfected the art of fake news.

How ‘bout giving these 3 participants an award!

respected former British spy named Christopher Steele

---

So we are at a crossroad 4chan states a member created this as a hoax.

The media is now going with a “respected former British spy named Christopher Steele” as the source

My money is there is no such person but let here from him if he exists...if

If “respected former British spy named Christopher Steele” is a press fabrication all hell’s going to break loose.

[catnipman]

“The consequences have been incalculable and will play out long past Inauguration Day.”

Uh, in 109 days I PROMISE you, NYT, that EVERYONE will have completely forgotten this nonsense.

“It has further undermined his relationship with the intelligence agencies “

Not really. All those traitorous political hacks will have been fired and some imprisoned within 109 days, and competent professionals will have replaced them.

“and cast a shadow over the new administration.”

which of course is the whole point of the massive river of fake news emanating from NYT, WaPo and CNN. In fact, pretty much at least once a day each of those outlets has declared Donald Trump’s Presidency irredeemably destroyed.

[stylin19a]

How can the NYTimes continue to push this ?

According to Mr. Steele’s sources, it involved, among other things, a late-summer meeting in Prague between Michael Cohen, a lawyer for Mr. Trump, and Oleg Solodukhin, a Russian official who works for Rossotrudnichestvo, an organization that promotes Russia’s interests abroad.
