    Yes, anything but politics. Political "news" on CNN is not news.

    So I can count you among those believing the press should run with unsubstantiated reports'

    And it is not Presidential to expect journalistic integrity from the WH press corps?

    The fact is that news agencies had been sitting on this story because it couldn't be verified, intel was telling folks it was disinformation, CNN's hatred for Trump exceeded journalistic standards. they even had President slayer Carl Bernstein on the byline, and on their internet story even had a handy link to the Buzzfeed story. It's possible that Buzfeed wouldn't have gone forward without CNN breaking the ice.

    I think they should report and if it's unsubstantiated say so, remember, this was really turned over to the Intelligence Community

    do you think the president should say nonesense about people, like birther nonsense?

    You think they should report every unsubstantiated story they get? That is the job of the press to pass on unsubstantiated gossip?

    No they didn't. That is just another Trump lie. Anderson Cooper went to the alleged link and it was to an analysis of events by a CNN reporter that did not mention the specifics of the allegations. It wasn't a link to buzzfeed. Kellyanne Conway spewed a bucket of lies on CNN and that was one of them. Cooper proved she was lying. Just like when she denied Trump had been briefed. He was briefed personally by Comey.

    CNN reported that Trump had been briefed because Trump was briefed; and the President elect may be compromised. That is news! In the same way, they reported on the wikileaks stories about Hillary but didn't publish the specifics.

    CNN reported the facts. That was confirmed today by Biden and Clapper, and you are all living in a fantasy world, as usual.

    Arguing with righties is nothing but a game of whack-a-mole. You people have lost all perspective. Almost nothing you all say is true.

    Whatever

    I was pleased Trump refused questions from CNN

    They are, Clinton Network News.

    Notice he did not block out the rest of the media. And some of them asked him dumb questions too.

    Was that also your view of stories told about Obama?

    Utter nonsense. CNN did not release the story, just as other outlets had not. There is no mention of Trump engaging with prostitutes, paying them for golden showers, or a video of the purported, and unverified event. What CNN reported was that intelligence agencies included information of Russia potentially attempting to compromise Trump.

    Savvy?

    CNN reported on intelligence agencies including those unverified events in a brief, not on the unverified sordid details.

    Even worse for your nonsensical post -- Nowhere in CNN's article did they include a link to buzzfeed.com.

    No actually it does not.

    He added that the intelligence community "has not made any judgment that the information in this document is reliable, and we did not rely upon it in any way for our conclusions. However, part of our obligation is to ensure that policymakers are provided with the fullest possible picture of any matters that might affect national security."

    ^^^

    CNN including this is trying to walk back from the fact that they ran with the Buzzfeed nonsense and only added it wasnt confirmed until half way through the original report.

    The Buzzfeed nonsense is just that nonsense.. CNN rushed to report on it for the headlines and nothing else.. We had FOUR threads pop up on this topic acting if this report was true all based on this false news reporting.. So there goes your "LOL"

    Trump knows all about unsubstantiated gossip; after all he loves the National Enquirer.

    Haven't you noticed that Trump responds to any criticism like a whiny little girl? If he can't handle robust questioning from a mere reporter he's going to be floundering around like a drowning man when faced with real problems to deal with.
    The future does not bode well for Trump.

    In that case it doesn't bode well for the rest of us. If you had any nous you'd realise that for yourself - and there are only a few days to go to prove it.

    Keep playing games it was first pushed by Buzzfeed and CNN quickly published it and buried half way through the article that nothing in it was confirmed.

    Intel chiefs presented CNN with claims Russia has video of Evan Perez, Jim Sciutto, Jake Tapper and Carl Bernstein having sex with their mothers. Officials who spoke to FOX declined to do so on the record given the classified nature of the material.

    Now the Foxy Blonde Legs Channel should report it.

    Russia has studied propaganda and you in great detail.

    LOL

    One of these days, even folks on the right might figure this one out. Meanwhile, Biden did indeed confirm CNN's report -- that being the two page summary was included in the brief.

    You can't even get simple details right. CNN was first with the story.

    Buzzfeed reported the story first.

    Who do you think planted the story? Russia or Trump?
