ALL mainstream media sources are full of fake news.

That is the problem.

Even other liberal networks are blasting cnn and buzzfeed

Mika Attacks Buzzfeed's Trump, Russia Piece: 'No Story Here' | The Daily Caller

"Mika agreed, saying she couldn’t believe CNN and Buzzfeed reported the story.

“Tom, I agree. Everyone should work on stories that look like they’re worth looking into, and we should continue to do so. And when you can triple source it and you have evidence, you have a story,” she said. “Right now, there’s no story here.

“The two outlets that are actually going with this and releasing it are continuing to make the same mistakes that they have made in the run up to this election, which was to let their bias get in the way of actually finding out what facts are and putting them out there. The whole thing has felt wrong from the beginning of this show.”

Co-host Willie Geist agreed, “There’s a reason Tom Brokaw and Richard Engel have had this report for four months and you haven’t heard anything from NBC.”

The left has become completely un-glued since November 8th. It is really interesting to see.

You think so?


Trump is getting trashed because he can't handle even ONE press conference like any kind of professional. Today was a complete and utter failure - for HIM. He's a laughingstock. He can't even explain his own position regarding his businesses. He has to have a lawyer/promoter do it for him. And, bottom line, nothing ahs changed. His two kids are running the business only they promise not to talk about it.


CNN reported nothing that was untrue.


If your boy can't do better than he did today; he is going to have a very long four years.

The only show that disagreed is "Morning Joe" which is typical because they are basically functioning as a part of the Trump transition team. Joe is totally up Trump's you-know-what. I've had to completely stop watching and that used to be my favorite show.

Remember that Trump usually accuses others of doing something that's he's already doing. For example, calling Ted Cruz Lyin' Ted when Trump was the actual Liar but he pinned the name on Cruz in a way to deflect it from himself. There a term for this but I forgot what it's called.

So now Trump, who many compare to Hilter, is making reference to Nazi Germany. He knows what we know.

Like Hitler would stick up for Israel. Boy, has the left become un-glued since November 8th.

Wow, you lefties have become un-glued since November 8th. It's great to watch. Yep, great day for CNN. I'm sure they are really happy with themselves. Great reporting. Fantastic journalism.

what makes a document full of non-truths, newsworthy to report about?

Does CNN routinely report details about conspiracy theories, junk news and fake news stories?
No, they don't.
So why did they here?
Because they hate Donald Trump and thought this bogus report would do damage to Trump, and make Trump look bad.

Got it from McCain. They have not been proven to be "untrue" yet. Just like Hillary's supposed possible emails on Wiener's computer. But you were cheering that one, right? Could be that it doesn't get proven. I think it should have be proven or disproven. Just like Hillary's incriminating emails on Wiener's computer--eventually disproven. If Trump has done nothing wrong, he should state that and welcome them to investigate. That's what a normal, innocent person would do.

But Trump knows if he screams, bullies, and maligns, his cult will cheer him on. Gotta give him credit, I never thought people would follow so blindly. He's a master. Why wouldn't you want it proven?
