That's where you folks get confused.

Whether it is Hannity or Don Lemon -- they aren't reporting the news...they are discussing the news -- including a rather large media site reporting something that may or may not be true.
I think you are the one who is confused.

What you refer to in the bolded is gossip/hearsay...….not news.

Wow, that's a reach. If the story was completely false, he would have said so in precise language. He didn't. He said "certain parts". Therefore, parts of it are most likely true.

People never see themselves as antagonists. Only others. Typical.

And that's correct.

No one got played. People posting here recognized it hadn't been verified and were good about making sure they qualified their comments first with a bold IF.
LOL. No, that didn't happen.

Guys, I have been saying this for months. Cohen said he would take a bullet for Trump. This is HOW he is taking that bullet.

Yes, that's a lesson you should take to heart.

You insulted me in an embarrassingly ignorant way even though, as you now know, I was right and you were wrong. Yet you're not big enough to apologize even now. That's really pitiful.

Not Accurate= Inaccurate .....the definition of inaccurate in the dictionary is not accurate; incorrect or untrue. inexact, loose; erroneous, wrong, faulty.


stop grasping at straws and admit this is fake news and the anti-Trump media ran with it giving another black eye to journalism.
