interesting response

(CNN)CNN's decision to publish carefully sourced reporting about the operations of our government is vastly different than Buzzfeed's decision to publish unsubstantiated memos. The Trump team knows this. They are using Buzzfeed's decision to deflect from CNN's reporting, which has been matched by the other major news organizations.

We are fully confident in our reporting. It represents the core of what the First Amendment protects, informing the people of the inner workings of their government; in this case, briefing materials prepared for President Obama and President-elect Trump last week.

We made it clear that we were not publishing any of the details of the 35-page document because we have not corroborated the report's allegations. Given that members of the Trump transition team have so vocally criticized our reporting, we encourage them to identify, specifically, what they believe to be inaccurate.

BuzzFeed and Clinton News Network are both excellent sources.

So CNN has a report of dubious authenticity, and they want the incoming White House team to corroborate it?

It would have been brilliant if they had succeeded.

I'm not sure what part of "all of it" they didn't understand. Oops, it came from Trump himself, not the transition team so it doesn't count.

So Jakes Tapper, another POS reporter, has tweeted that Mark Coen (a Trump Lawyer) was in fact not in Prague as they alleged talking to agents. This after Coen produced evidence of his whereabouts and said he'd in fact never been to Prague. They nevery even bothered trying to call him.......this is how hard they tried to verify their info.

Keep swinging boys.

Tail and abrig my understanding is CNN was reporting on the intel agency briefing obama and trump on Russia floating the dossier story, not the content or merit of. I think this is actually accurate and not of dubious accuracy. Buzz feed did something completely different and sloppy (much like wikileaks)

Lumping them in with buzz feed et al is disingenuous at best, but it is what Trump wants. I think some are being mentally lazy or selective. IDGAF about CNN, and know some don't care about the truth, but it seems to me we are on a slippery slope.

some of the difference

CNN reported Tuesday night that the heads of all four U.S. intelligence agencies presented both Trump and President Obama a two-page synopsis that included allegations that Russian intelligence operatives collected compromising personal and financial information about him. (so far seems true)

BuzzFeed subsequently published what it said was the unverified 35-page dossier, reportedly compiled by a former British intelligence operative, on which the synopsis was in part based. (not so true)

BuzzFeed noted that the dossier contained clear errors, and the outlet’s decision to publish it sparked debates about whether it was ethical to do so. Among other things, the dossier claimed that Russian intelligence operatives filmed Trump with prostitutes in hotel rooms. (not so true and slimy)

TMCLT the truth isn't important to you? It is to me. Regardless of which side.

I am uneasy when a dem or republican pretty clearly and blatantly bends the hell out of the truth for their benefit. If it were just a game and a gotcha thing I'd prolly enjoy it. but it's serious and I am truly worried about our direction.

they both do it, I don't justify either. i understand wanting to hit back and playing the game but think it's short sighted. if the truth doesn't matter and our government can not be trusted on anything at all cost (not everything, and not without skepticism or ultimately verification when appropriate) and foreign governments are more credible than our own then that's a dangerous mix and one that could ruin this great country.

We can all agree that both sides lie...but one who is honest must accept facts when confronted with them. If we can't agree that 1+1 = 2, then we'll never accomplish anything. I don't believe that the process of politics is a zero sum game. It is possible to find win-win solutions to our problems but only if both sides honestly want to do that. I am afraid that politics has become an "I win - you lose" and "If you win - I lose" way of life.

Watch Fox News Defend Rival CNN Against Donald Trump’s ‘Fake News’ Claim (Video)
Brian Flood
5 hours ago
Fox News anchor Shepard Smith defended CNN on Wednesday after Donald Trump accused the network of being “fake news” at a news conference for reporting on the existence of a Russian dossier of unverified allegations about the president-elect.

“President-elect Trump today told CNN’s Jim Acosta that his organization amounts to fake news. CNN’s exclusive reporting on the Russian matter was separate and distinctly different from the document dump executed by an online news property,” Smith said, drawing a distinction between CNN’s reporting and that of BuzzFeed News, which released the entire contents of the Russian dossier.


“Though we at Fox News cannot confirm CNN’s report, it is our observation that its correspondents followed journalistic standards,” Smith said. “Neither they, nor any other journalists, should be subjected to belittling and delegitimizing by the president-elect of the United States.”

I think the pres-elect succesfully trolled cnn... it'd be like me insisting that hank is a pot smoking athiest... of course he's not a pot smoking athiest... the accusation is so outlandish, it should obviously be ignored... and hank would probably ignore it... but cnn just couldn't,,,
