That is the bigger issue, the golden showers part is not important.

Though we all know Trump is a pervert, so it wouldn't be surprising if he gets off on having hookers pee on him. I imagine he has done a lot of dirty things with hookers over the years.
If Putin and Russia hacking is so important, why is CNN reporting on sleazy stories?

This is the same CNN who helped Hillary Clinton to cheat the debates.

The pundits at the other networks are stunned. They absolutely are not used to being held responsible for their biased reporting. I hope we see more of it.

Mark Murray at NBC news says that Trump should show "respect" to American institutions like the MSM. Of course this bubble head created numerous fake polls against Trump.

I customize my Google news and other feeds.

Despite all my filters, about 90% of the content is fake news and opinions with political agendas, and around 10% is actual matter-of-fact news. Most of the time I just read the headlines, or even just part of the headlines.

Most of the providers are the well-known purveyors of fake news: USA Today, Washington Post, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Reuters, Bloomberg, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, Huffington Post, etc.

Look, most of this "news" is "free", paid for by advertisers, and in any case driven by business/political agendas. So what can we expect? Well, fake news of course.

For real news, I do my own research, read that of others on special sites, and take bits of pieces from the purveyors of fake news that is real news (again, about 10%).

Good Luck!

They didn't even mention it, but as long as you do, keeping it front and center - I suppose that's good enough.

  • CNN reported the existence of the document - which, again, has been "out there" for a long time -
  • CNN did NOT report the veracity of it.
Tonight, DNI director said Trump was told about this doc at the briefing.

CNN NEVER LIED.

CNN told the EXACT TRUTH.

What bothers Trump is the allegations in that document - which may or may not be true. My personal opinion - probably all of it is true. ESPECIALLY, Trump and his campaign collusion on the hacking. I don't care about sexcapades. He's a sleazebag - we all know that.

Trump clearly has NO RESPECT for free speech or the press - except he IS allowed to say anything, speak any lie and dares anyone to challenge him. Sounds very Soviet to me. They shoot the oppo press in Russia - investigative reporters are killed over there all the time.

In this case, he UNFAIRLY maligned CNN - and his dumbass supporters think this is smart - which only proves how stupid ALL of them are.
Exactly. Thank you.

I agree.

Although not perfect, I tend to read and believe BBC and the Guardian.
Most American newspapers are cra*p. Not to say they don't have high quality articles, but when it comes to sensitive political debates, they tend to "choose sides" instead of being objective and showing facts (more importantly, not hiding facts they don't like).

BTW, he did get the Hillary one right.
