Copying and pasting your argument into multiple replies does not make your argument stronger.

As you said when it comes to the document, we don’t know what’s true and what’s not. That’s exactly the point. The only takeaway from that document is conjecture. Why then, is it important that we be able to read it right now? If any of its content is proven to be true through further investigation (in both the…

I’m arguing that more information does not necessarily equate to being better informed. If information can’t be verified what is the point of it? Anyone who forms an opinion based on unverified information is at best drawing a conclusion based on incomplete data, and at worst, incorrect data. That is precisely what…

Because there’s never been any other instance of politicians making shit up about their opponents for political gain:

The dossier exists. Yes. But the Buzzfeed dossier is not confirmed as the dossier. And this was not what was presented to Trump in the intelligence briefing. What has been confirmed, is that Trump was presented a 2 page synopsis of the dossier at that briefing. And a few summary points from that from that…

The facts and conclusions you stated could all be reached from CNN’s report (and Mother Jones) and neither published the actual dossier. So, what was the purpose of publishing the entire dossier?

No, I get the point. It’s just a stupid one. If the newsworthy fact is the existence of the dossier, you can report on the existence of the dossier. Republishing its contents without independent corroboration is just thinly-veiled cover for essentially reporting them as true without having to take responsibility.

This is a more interactive form of news. It’s up to the reader to decide if it’s true or bullshit!

Only you had the courage to publish this important news. Truly the highest and noblest goal of journalism. Stay on this beat, I want to know ethnicity and current whereabouts for that midget ASAP

“As you might expect, much of the talk around media today is about journalism ethics and responsibility. What may surprise and horrify you—or anyway should—is that by and large the journalists being accused of dereliction are not the ones who participated in the circulation of this explosively and undeniably…

I believe it was published under BuzzFeedNews. Which would make it appear to be real actual news.

I can confirm, I heard that rumor too. I VERIFY that the rumor exists.

The issue here is that Buzzfeed writers AREN’T journalists. They don’t have journalistic integrity because they don’t need it. They make lists, use GIFs, and basically run a Tumblr page.

Every outlet (including Buzzfeed) is reporting the exact opposite. Please provide citations.

You are wrong. And this line of thinking is a primary reason there is such distrust of news media.

I’m confused.

where is the truth? they admitted that its not verified, so at the moment its fake news

The truth of the claims in the dossier has not been verified; what has been verified, by several other outlets, is that this dossier exists, and has been known to exist for some time, and contains the claims in BuzzFeed’s reporting.

That’s a loose definition of “news.” Remember when we used to mock FOX News for “We Report, You Decide?”

I believe her future role will be: recipient of ungodly amounts of cash despite failing.
