It's not entirely impossible to view the CNN shitshow without ever using it's medium.. the internet is crazy like that. It's amazing to me the mental gymnasitcs some of you will perform to take up for them and divert the conversation from the fact that it's not real news anymore.

It's funny. I get that journalist sometimes have sources that want to stay quiet. But at this point it's just gotten hilarious. I mean every single fricking reporter in the nation has an anonymous source. And what's even better is quite often the story is an anonymous source quoting another anonymous source meaning the journalist has no way of even personally vetting the story.
And that's before you get to the ubiquitous use of words like May could should might etcetera etcetera

Read article on CNN where they were making some allegation and half way down the page, they had a one liner "We are still trying to verify this information". So they make stuff up and just put in something like that to not make it a "lie".
Also last night, Cnn hanks talking about Trump and how this as bad as watergate and the sky is falling...but then say "But lets be honest, we don't know if Trump did anything wrong..but if he did"
Such bs making all this up ...

Things CNN says everyday repeatedly
I wish they would just be honest and begin every story with "we're hearing breaking news from the Clinton camp..." or "breaking story from Barack Obama's climate science disapproved home..."

It's probably true. Just too embarrassed to say by whom 
I'm being told....in the CNN break room...
It's been reported...by the toll booth operator...
My inside sources tell me... (aka I called my mother for reassurance)

... that's because what usually follows is either a blatant lie or unsubstantiated bullshite.

The First Rule of Journalism seems to have been repealed long ago which said "Thou shall not report rumors nor unsubstantiated statements."

That's journalism now.
Someone linked a video a few weeks back of a former reporter who said modern news rooms are nothing more that 20 somethings taking NYT or WSJ articles and repackaging them as their own. Zero investigative reporting is taking place, and it's almost all agenda driven.
Look at the donor statistics among journalists in the last election cycle. It's shocking.

Video proof that it's not just CNN that conducts business by using unnamed sources but you'll never get any Trump-lovers to admit Fox News runs things the exact same way.
