BuzzfeedNews Bombshell Reporter: No We Have Not Seen the Evidence Supporting Our Report LINK
Anthony Cormier is one of the two investigative reporter at BuzzfeedNews who co-authored the bombshell report published Thursday night — a report which claimed President Donald Trump directed his former lawyer Michael Cohen to lie during Congressional testimony over discussions between the Trump Organization and Russian authorities about a Trump Tower Moscow project.
Cormier appeared on CNN’s New Day and revealed that he had not seen the evidence underlying his report.
Host Alisyn Camerota opened the interview by asking Cormier if he had seen the evidence to which Cormier replied: “Not personally.” He then clarified that “he folks we have talked to — two officials we have spoken to are 100 percent read into that aspect of the Special Counsel’s investigation”.

We should also report that Buzzfeed reporter Jason Leopold has a long and storied history of lying about sources and evidence.
Leopold’s latest addition to his application for membership in the Stephen Glass school of journalism came on May 12 of this year, when he got what appeared to be the scoop of a lifetime. Now writing for Truthout.org, Leopold reported that Karl Rove “told President Bush and Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten, as well as a few other high level administration officials,” that he was about to be indicted in the Valerie Plame CIA leak case, “according to people knowledgeable about these discussions.”
Leopold claimed that multiple sources “confirmed Rove’s indictment is imminent. These individuals requested anonymity saying they were not authorized to speak publicly about Rove’s situation.”
Well, today we learned that special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said he would not seek charges against Rove.

SMDH, how does this keep happening. News as we know it is gone. Just propaganda for either side....

That's where we are in this country. Where rumors and innuendo get paraded as legitimate news stories. And CNN wonders why it's treated as a joke. That is the top story on their website right now.

Trump should hold a press conference. Walk up to the podium. Hold up a Buzzfeed sign. Laugh at it. Call it fake news. Then leave.

Infuriating as the local news here ran the story this morning at 4:30am as fact - only a small notation on screen that it was from buzzfeed. Totally made up lie, yet it got reported as news in a truth. And their will be no retraction from the local news.

So this wasn’t “IT” this time but the sky screamers were falling over themselves last night.
This is my shocked face.

Terrible that gossip runs as a headline. As a country, we're in a sad dark place right now.

Boogieprog is top 5 in TDS. It's sad and hilarious at the same time.
I wonder if the suicide rate will change any due to TDS?

We are now at a point where liberals believe it is the duty of someone to prove a story false instead of the journalist proving it's truthful. That's some banana republic shite right there.

Investigative reporter? WTF? He apparently investigated and verified his info via his Spidey Sense.
He’s from the “if I believe it; it must be true” school of journalism.
