How many of these "CNN=Fake News" questioners are even aware of what CNN actually reported?

To start with Cuomo spent the majority of the 7am and 8am time slot talking about the Buzzfeed/NBC/Comcast dump last night and complaining how no one from the Trump origination was willing to come on to discuss

Meanwhile while flipping through the channels Morning Joe did have some one from Trump on talking about the "CNN/BuzzFeed" story

And while CNN did not bring up the exact content of the alleged video becasue if they had majority of people would say its Fake News , they did talked about the credibility of the author and How Trump was "briefed" (definition instruct or inform thoroughly) that does not appear what actually happen clearly no oral instruction

Look, putting the word "unconfirmed" in front of a lie, and then spreading the lie, makes it still a lie. Sure, for people like you they thread the needle to make sure that they can just barely say that they are truthful.

My favorite parts are when they "let the readers/viewers decide". In other words, they will spread false news and innuendo, knowing it is not true, but then cover their azzes. This forum is a perfect example of how viewers/readers are not really that smart. Especially the ones who are predisposed to believe the worst about the president. They hear the "news" but don't really hear the disclaimers.

It reminds me of how the KKK was on their front page for a couple weeks. Since when do they, or 99.99% of Americans give a rat's azz what the KKK thinks. But, they ran split pictures of Trump and KKK people day after day. They just wanted that association out there.

So, you can parse the exact words, and go crazy defending them. Or, you can think about what they really did.

CNN reported that Buzzfeed ran the story. They called it "unsubstantiated" and "unproven allegations" again and again. That's what real news organizations. Ever the FBI thought "the allegations were too serious to ignore" - that's their fake scandal for this week.

What CNN engaged in could be more accurately described as TABLOID journalism. But I like calling it #Fakenews because I know how thin-skinned you lefty defenders of made up social justice are lol

FOX FAKE "News" just came up with the "Fake News" thing after the began realizing that people were catching on to their endless republican lies.

What the republican does is try to point the finger somewhere else.
