Glad someone is pointing this out. Surprised it’s not getting more coverage.

Please don’t forget:

Two things he said this morning:

What? I’m suggesting that the IC vetted the sources cited in the dossier and apparently found them legitimate based on the IC’s own intelligence.

Reporting on its existence and that it’s been shared with Trump and other officials, like CNN and NYTimes did, is equivalent to your comparison. Buzzfeed’s move is like publishing a prosecutor’s notes before the trial and asking the public “what do you think guys?”

Just because other politicians have bought into something that is un-vetted and very “national inquirer-y” doesn’t suddenly make it more valid and newsworthy.

Well, what did DNC’s e-mail hack reveal? Some petty infighting and poor e-mail hygiene, but mostly nothing. We don’t know the pedigree of the Trump info, but both the huge substance of the allegations and the fact that they were circulating with EVERY key decision maker for months makes them newsworthy to me. If

I am absolutely not a Trump supporter for the record, I just feel like when you throw unfiltered allegations out there and say “you decide!” to the public you open yourself up to people taking matters in their own hands, like that nutjob who should up at the pizza place with a gun.

The source for one of those was the unhinged rantings of a conspiracy theorist on the internet. The source for the other was every intelligence agency in the country, groups who found this credible enough to bring to the attention of our entire government.

You imply that this dossier has ANY evidence of authenticity. There is none. Period. It MAY be 100% true. I have no idea, and neither do you or (it would seem) ANYONE reporting on it. You may as well say “There are reports of invisible trolls conducting mind control experiments on world leaders”... as that statement

Here’s the thing, though. It’s not that the contents of the document are verified (news agencies are saying that they are not), it’s that officials at high levels government are passing it around to each other. THAT make it worth reporting. As long as (and admittedly I did not read the Buzzfeed article yet, but I’m

Regardless, that was an astonishingly spineless/oblivious reaction from the rest of the press; if this asshole is willing to shout down two news outlets for unflattering coverage, these people need to understand that there’ll be no one there to defend them when he inevitably does the same.

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

When a powerful U.S. Senator is delivering copies of Pizzagate conspiracy theory manifestos to the director of the FBI, this equivalence will become valid.

I think we must be consistent in our positions though. I screamed as loudly as I could on the internet whenever some new bullshit report came out about HRC. I cannot now, in good conscience, condone the spreading of what is likely a made up story that the intelligence community briefed the president and the

It terrifies me so much that the orange one seems to think that he can say news is fake just because it isn’t pro-trump. He’s probably going to continue doing this as our president, which means when he has press conferences about actual shit that happens, he’s going to hear the facts from his team and most likely just

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

The irony of this piece of shit decrying fake news is so laughable it’s depressing.

Fucking NICKLEBACK has had crowds like Trump has had.

Maybe Trump shouldn’t be bringing up Nazi Germany given his current lineup of supporters and advisors.
