CNN editor-at-large Chris Cillizza was furious with Donald Trump on Tuesday when the President stated that the media has been releasing fake news. Cillizza demanded that some specific cases of fake news and ended up getting owned by hundreds of conservatives.

“Fake News is at an all time high. Where is their apology to me for all of the incorrect stories?” Trump tweeted.

“Name a story that is ‘fake’ or ‘incorrect.’ You can’t just make a blanket assertion without ANY specifics,” Cillizza fired back.

..

Within the next few hours, Cillizza, CNN, and the overall mainstream media got owned by dozens of links to fake news stories they’ve released over the last year. Some of the most well-known cases include The New York Times story that Trump colluded with the Russians that James Comey called ‘fake,’ that Comey denied telling Trump he wasn’t under investigation, and Trump pulled the MLK bust from the White House.

Isn’t the entire Russian investigation based on the assumption that came news was spread by the Russians?

Cillizza simply didn’t read any of the stuff sent to him.

It’s almost June 20, tomorrow is a new day, clean slate, and he’ll say the same thing again.

Trump should tweet back a demand that MSM reporters prove they actually have functioning brains in their heads.

you can go thru the vast list of “hate crime” hoaxes just since the campaign, all of which received massive coverage on air, in print, and on the net. Add to that the lies spewed about Trump rallies being violent, when in fact it was the leftists were the violent ones. Hundreds, maybe thousands of these kind of things, all of which were Fake News.>>> and the only real example of the violence at trump rallies was that one old guy. i laugh every time they bring it up.

People could give him 1000000 examples of fake news and he would still not accept it. Liberals like him are lost causes

These media types and programs kept using lib operatives masquerading as ‘innocent’ or ‘unbiased’ bystanders that gave their accounts or opinions and wrapped up as “NEWS”.

Most of the times they got caught red-handed. Too numerous to count.

Libs operate in verbal battle by demanding evidence on the spot, trying to stop arguments. When they in turn are confronted, their favorite trick is to say, “There’s no evidence...” often because their people destroyed it.

Cilizza acted like he was in oral combat rather than remembering that proof is at the online fingertips and by then challenging scores of people to race to their keyboards. Big mistake, but the result of arrogance.

Doesn’t matter. He will just ignore the research and continue to insist that conservatives are wrong.

Cilliza was the Washington Post’s “Style” section gossip reporter and smear artist. I only read him because he was a good source of finding out what the reds were doing in DC society/social events.

Looks like he moved “down” in the journalism field. Hope he enjoys his “express elevator to hell”, CNN.

How could he be so obtuse? MSM blew up Ford cars and claimed they were dangerous. MSM painted old meat red and stocked the shelves of grocery stores then claimed they sold old painted meat. Dan Rather put obviously fake memos on the air and within minutes the memos were proven fake by flocks of people on the internet. They show pictures of fake funerals in war zones that aren’t even in the country they claim the attacks occurred. They told us Hillary was 92% chance to win.

And if you want to stretch the definition of “fake” a little bit, how about all the stories they refused to report or swept under the rug about corruption. Or sending news stories to the HRC campaign for approval and editing before publishing? Or sending debate questions to HRC and then telling us the debates are fair.

He’s a typical smug liberal. Believes in lies; acts incredulous when called on the lies. They know what they are doing. They just don’t care.

Now Chris is going to have to spend the rest of the week trying to come up with reasons these fake stories aren't really fake.

Could it be that CNN editor-at-large Chris Cillizza is not bright enough to realize that he is a big dummy? Not much you can do to help people like that.
