They're all citing anonymous sources who read a memo by Comey that could also be debunked. They have no evidence.

If there were ever a time where the media could be exposed as fake news, this is probably it.

Is this 4-D Intergalactic Chess by Trump, or just coincidental?

They are just citing each other. If the NYT reports it, then CNN reads it and says that is their anonymous source. Then the WP hears it and so on.

Anonymous sources have always been used by journalists. It's only fake news when you don't like what the anonymous source says.

It could be, but that's why they try to find multiple, reliable sources.

Actually it is evidence, although it's not foolproof. That doesn't make it nothing though.

What would Trump have to do with the source? And why would he want this to be an issue, even if fake?

The news media's sources are swamp creatures who do not want to be drained. And the media is being told exactly what it wants to hear.

Choot 'em!
