re: Here's a good explanation of the media being blocked from the gaggle

Has Fox News ever ran a story saying Obama paid hookers to piss on him while he got his daily dose of anime pron?

---

Has CNN?

Can they stop using the word gaggle is sounds so stupid. Just saying meeting.

were the other front row seaters at that time you reckon. I couldn't find anything.?

Other news outlets represented in the front row are: NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, Reuters and the Associated Press.

Do you actually support theidea of a government attempting to stifle the press.

Fake news.

Link the stifling of the press for me?

y. They took it like it was the gospel. NBC reported it as well.

Link where CNN reported that detail? Also, I am not a liberal. I just cannot stand the hypocrisy of some Trumpkins. If Obama did this the Poli Board would be screaming about the Bill of Rights and the need for an insurrection.

CNN linked directly to Buzzfeed's publishing of the dossier while trying to wash their hands of it by saying it was unverified. That's a bullshite ploy and anyone with any ethics would agree.

NYT's article on Buzzfeed and CNN's incompetence the day after the allegations were proven false.

CNN has tried to distance themselves from this incident and Buzzfeed, so you really cannot find many articles linking the two, except this one. Go back and read threads here from around Jan. 10, and you'll see many threads talking about shows such as Don Lemon reporting extensively on the subject.

Here's a thread on it.

But CNN declined to include the specific allegations contained in the dossier — such as collusion between Mr. Trump’s team and Russian operatives — saying that its journalists could not independently verify them.

---

quote:

---

Intelligence officials recently presented a two-page summary of the allegations to Mr. Trump and President Obama, CNN reported on Tuesday.

---

The pissgate dossier, in which they reported extensively.

quote:

---

The reports by CNN and Buzzfeed sent other news organizations, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, scrambling to publish their own articles, some of which included generalized descriptions of the unverified allegations about Mr. Trump. By late Tuesday, though, only BuzzFeed had published the full document.

---

So not only CNN, but WaPo and the NYT were getting in on it. This article was to save face.

quote:

---

CNN said that its journalists had reviewed the full 35-page compilation of memos, the same document later published in full by BuzzFeed, but declined to include some details, saying that the network “has not independently corroborated the specific allegations.” CNN said its reporters spoke with multiple high-ranking intelligence and government officials before publishing its report.

---

So they basically reported stuff they knew was untrue and unproven. Just another day in the office of the liberal media.

This has even a new and disturbing pattern in the media. A two bit outlet or a completely biased outlet like the nyt published an unsubstantiated hit piece, and the rest of the kept media reports on the report, hiding behind lingo like "unconfirmed by our sources" or "The New York Times reports". They keep their hands technically clean by not being the direct source. It's not on accident.
