Liberals got played. Big Time!



Buzzfeed needs to be brought down completely like Gawker. They are a total piece of garbage site



And the media immediately lapped up what they said as well despite knowing the story was obviously fishy
Right! LOL

Buzzfeed is a total garbage site, essentially one step above a gossip site--I mean really bad reporting here. CNN is not too much better. They both belong in a similar category.

Both report "hear-say" often, and are both extremely left-sided and completely not objective reporting.

Buzzfeed is really an embarrassment to journalism and the media in general...

Pattern:

Journalists run shody story about Trump, everyone on the left says IF TRUE Trump should be impeached, original story is later either corrected(removing the largest most damning part of the story that was supposed to be used for impeachment) or is found to be completely inaccurate, the correction/retraction/evidence to the contrary gets far less media attention than the original piece, left wing politicians and pundits continue to say look at all this chaos/criminality that they themselves created and fabricated. This cycle is never ending.

This has been a 2-year long disinformation campaign to remove Trump from office. The only reason Mueller came out tonight to blow up this trash from Buzzfeed is there's a new AG coming in & they want to seem to be running a tight ship unless they get put under the spotlight.

Disgusting 2 years of whining, lies, hysteria & agitprop from the left all because they lost an election.

Buzzfeed is standing by their report and are in communication with their sources, they were correctly out in front of the Trump Moscow deal...by themselves....for a long time until it was corroborated by Mueller in court filings. It appears the sources are in the SDNY and obviously not the special counsel. I don't know what to think but this is some Good Drama. I am not buying into the Buzzfeed story nor am I discounting it. Something is there and God knows what is happening behind the scenes right now. Here is a good point made by Juliette Kayyem

There were a lot of people, including me, who took that with a big grain of salt. Many liberals said we were skeptical.

This.

90% of the pos media should just be impeached.

I already personally impeached them, but hey, that's just me, your mileage may vary.

Yep! CNN took it, believed it and ran with it, hook line and sinker.

Whenever you hear the phrase "anonymous sources" in conjunction with stories like this, you can think "fake news" and probably will be correct more times that not.

What I'm amazed by is the Buzzfeed's story is NOT completely false. I always considered Buzzfeed to be an internet tabloid like National Inquirer or something that the rich pay to be on every shelf in the check-out line.
