  • And now for something that's guaranteed to make the heads of liberals explode:

    CNN retracts a false report after Breitbart calls them on it.



    ----------

    (Breitbart) CNN has admitted it printed what President Donald Trump calls “very fake news” and retracted a demonstrably inaccurate hit piece on the President and his allies after a Breitbart News investigation uncovered significant inaccuracies and flaws in CNN’s work.

    “On June 22, 2017, CNN.com published a story connecting Anthony Scaramucci with investigations into the Russian Direct Investment Fund,” CNN said in a statement late Friday night. “That story did not meet CNN’s editorial standards and has been retracted. Links to the story have been disabled. CNN apologizes to Mr. Scaramucci.”

    • Has Breitbart ever retracted any of the ~10,000 false stories it writes per year?

        You should start a thread on Breitbart's fake news.
        This thread is about CNN being fake news, which has already been proven.
        Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

He couldn't report it to the Atty Gen. becasuse he too was under investigation. Besides, Comey did nothing wrong, he didn't agree to drop the investigation, but neither did he say he wouldn't, he merely said yes, Flynn is a good man, giving Trump the impression that he might drop it. Trump didn't order him to drop the case immediately, so Comey did nothing wrong in not dropping it right away.
          IIRC, Comey could have reported it to a federal judge as well as the AG. Given that Obama had appointed a very large number of them you have to be miles deep in paranoid delusion to think they are all working for Trump.

          Besides he was required under federal law to report any indications of attempts to intimidate or bribe within 24 hours. And then of course there was his public testimony under oath back in early May that no such thing had taken place.

            10,000, huh? Then it should be trivial for you to start a new thread and list just 10 stories from Breitbart that are demonstrably false.

            • i think it is hilarious that the left started the whole "fake news" meme to try to discredit right-wing sources and now it has come to represent the mainstream left-wing news.

                The press hasn't quite awaken to the fact that most of America knows they're a bunch of liars.

                  Thats because most americans, those that aren't brainwashed by actual liars the likes of Hannity, Alex Jones, Limbaugh, Brietbart, Trump et al, into believing that, know otherwise.

                        Limbaugh is pure satire. Everyone whose been listening to him from back in the day should know this. I have only two or three major news reporters I really care about anymore. One is Greta Van Sustern (she was too neutral for Fox News, and even MSNBC considers her extremely Neutral) Anderson Cooper, because he interviews, listens the repeats verbatim what others said to him so you can at least all points of view from neo conservative to liberal, and Chris Matthews for his doing the same, he interviews everyone though he interrupts too much. Hannity is not too bad for Fox News. But I do not like Alex Jones and I do not read breitbart. the rest is local, and I watch nat'l networks less than once a week. If you want to listen to the real government just watch CSPAN one or two.

                          This from the man who regards Trump's own Pravda, namely Breitbart, to be authoritative and reliable.

                            Funny thing is, you have yet to show that a single Breitbart story is factually wrong.

                              Nearly two-thirds of Americans say the mainstream press is full of fake news, a sentiment that is held by a majority of voters across the ideological spectrum.

                              According to data from the latest Harvard-Harris poll, which was provided exclusively to The Hill, 65 percent of voters believe there is a lot of fake news in the mainstream media.

                              That number includes 80 percent of Republicans, 60 percent of independents and 53 percent of Democrats. Eighty-four percent of voters said it is hard to know what news to believe online.
                              "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

                              There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

                                I don't know why you're so defensive, do you work for CNN?

                                There is nothing partisan about admitting that all news sources in the USA are off in some weird fantasy land.
                                I should think the call for news sources to be fair, to be balanced, to be honest, would be welcome by everyone.
                                It kind of weirds me out that you take this so personal.
                                Actually YOU put Trump in the White House.
