Big difference between reporting facts, reporting biased opinions (and trying to pass them off as facts), and reporting completely fake news (and trying to pass it off as facts). This lady sums it up pretty well.

That the investigation may discover that while trump tries playing innocent and ignorant on collusion with Russia he is just Lying again, well then that is what the Special Prosecutor is for. Awww, not going to be able to Fire them, not without being arrested, LOL.

IE thats because CNN is a actual news organization that acts responsibly Or do you think CNN was wrong to do so?
All of that Zucker talk is just a bunch of BS nonsense. At that level of seasoned journalism, there shouldn't be a need for this failure to remain ethical and responsible to serve as a "lesson" for CNN reporters and editors like Zucker stated. The CNN staff should not be having lapses in editorial standards, need to be taught how to do accurate reporting, and learn how to follow standard operating procedures. These are things that should already be well-ingrained in the daily routines of veteran reporters and editors at that level. The network was purely pushing its narrative. Again, the story was retracted and heads rolled pending the possibility of being hit with a lawsuit.

e

The video with the CNN producer seems pretty straightforward. Van Jones, not sure. He released hours of CNN audio tapes, raw from CNN leaker a few months ago. He got ACORN shut down and rightfully so. Your issue is he goes after groups you be love. That is the issue. The left does far worse all the time. Look at Katie Couric or Dan Rather. I am sure you have an excuse for their behavior.

Meanwhile CNN and Van Jones silent on the hidden video. Interesting.

The fact that most GOP members of society care more about other things doesn't mean the Russian story is untrue or fake.
CNN reports one story after another based on unnamed sources. It is perfect for them its hard to refute. Unnamed Pentagon official, unnamed person in the Trump administration. They get a negative sensational Trump headline with little risk of being called out as liars. Last week they went too far and published too much information that was false. Who called them out on it? Infowars and other right leaning news organizations. The MSM was silent. Without the right leaning news orgs they would never have retracted it.

CNN gets about 1 million viewers. They have a small loyal liberal following. Less than one third of 1% of the population. To say this is what Americans care about in nonsense. A small percentage of fanatical lefties is all it is.

You think biased media is a good thing? I don't care if it's right or left, it's wrong. News should not be entertainment.

No, I never said biased media is a good thing. I agree that it should not be entertainment. Unfortunately, most media is owned by corporations so we really only hear what the corporations want us to hear. That's why we have to dig deeply.

Heard the breaking news re. Manafort this evening? He's just 'fessed up - and appears to be throwing Trump et al under the bus. Man made over $17 million supporting former Ukrainian President Yanukovych's - and Russia's - interests while a foreign agent in Ukraine, and until today, failed to file as such with the federal government.

Even his daughters knew it was dirty money...

You remember Yanukovych - he's the one who cravenly fled to Russia when it was clear his corrupt presidency was about to meet its downfall in the Maidan.

So - while CNN may have gotten some facts wrong - the Russian connection is all too real, and the lies seem to be coming from Trump and his cronies.
