re: It was a lie from the getgo, re: Buzzfeed and CNN. And they knew it. Scum

they're basically standing on the mountain of "we just reported Trump was briefed!"

which is so disingenuous. that's just the vehicle they needed to spread fake news. they did not make a good faith effort to verify or debunk any of the information otherwise they'd have known that Michael cohen wasn't in prague let alone acting as a go between with Russians...because that took the internet about 5 minutes after it was published to read it and debunk it.

strangely enough I think buzzfeed acted way more ethically because other outlets had alluded to it, based segments on the foundation of it, and cnn was reporting on it. buzzfeed could've scored a huge win and publicity by debunking the false information, highlighting that portions of it are absurd without verification and running with the headline "CNN is fake news"
