The damage is done, the fake story is aired and the correction gets not nearly the same coverage

CNN polled their own viewers.

They eat that “Trump is a Russian Agent” shite up.

That number is skewed because Hank and Foshizzle spent the entire morning voting yes.

I guess I should add that Smerconish is reading tweets from the deranged and actually saying there is nothing there and there should be a shred of evidence if any of this “evidence” actually exists.

Why would an organization who claims to be engaged in journalism show a highly unscientific online poll about peoples opinions on an already thoroughly debunked bit of fake news?

What does it matter what smerconish thinks? We already know it's false.

this is the MSM in a nutshell.

SCREAM false accusations

whisper truthful corrections.





What ever happened to libel and slander? How did they just disappear?

I guess CNN and the other liberal fake news outlets have figured they are so far in it now that they may as well ride it to the bitter end.

The farther they fall the more outrageous their actions will become. It's likely to get very nasty before all is said and done.

“Portions of the original story have proven to be inaccurate but it’s problematic that 2/3 of America view the story as plausible, if not probable.”

There's a pattern to fake news.

Break a fake news story with thunderous coverage.
Retract quietly and ambiguously.
Continue to cover it as a "search for the truth".

This is essentially how Russia is being covered. They all know it's bs, but they can cover it forever in some search for evidence one way or another, knowing they'll find neither and knowing it artificially props up the idea that the story real all along.

CNN: "Do you believe, because we believed it too."

"We all fell for it!"

They have no accountability when wrong and god forbid they ever get proven the least bit right or even something on the fringes that they can interpret as collusion....

Can you imagine how they would all vindicate themselves

Facts don’t matter anymore, this is their way of showing that they have “won” and swayed public opinion and that’s why they use the language “believe.” Trump gets validated about the media weekly and they wonder why he trashed them any chance he gets
