IE thats because CNN is a actual news organization that acts responsibly Or do you think CNN was wrong to do so?
Acts responsibly? You mean like when they colluded with the Hillary campaign?

" I am waiting for just one retraction of his many lies."

We waited over 8 years for you and your people to after Obama and Hillary for their mountain of lies.

You first.

So you think tampering with a Senator's phones in an attempt to illegally bug her office is no big deal? That says a whole lot about the kind of people the right will give credibility to as long as his deceptions are against your opponents. I guess to you attempting an illegal wiretap is just a case of the ends justifying the means, huh?
O'Keefe is only "well-known for heavily editing videos" among DNC lackeys who have never proven that allegation.

Thinking, reasonable people are capable of watching the video and comprehending what happens in the video. We also know that no matter what evidence is presented, liberal sycophants will discount it with no basis.

Comey wasn't fired for investigating Trump. Who told you that nonsense?

He was fired over the "make-belief" Russian investigation and because he wouldn't lay off Flynn.

Trump's words, not mine.

Given the amount of news that CNN puts out they don't do a lot of retractions to be honest. And of the retractions they do make, a surprising number of them also involves firing folks.

It's such a common thing...haven't you seen the TV shows, news, etc where people say "No comment"? The investigation is ongoing, so they don't want to officially or legally say anything at all. It means nothing either way...not that he is, not that he isn't. Covering their bums, so to speak.

That's delusional thinking if one believes that spin story - they were threatened with a pending lawsuit. That's why they "urged" the three to "resign" and retracted the story. Let's not let facts get in the way of your thinking now.

I think the President should launch a special investigation into media bias and what drives it and does it really serve the American people anymore?

That is not the problem.

It doesn't matter what any POTUS wants. The job of the media is to report the facts.

It really is that simple. The media is at fault independent of what any POTUS desires.
