Why didn't they get Pence to weigh in.

His word is good as gold.

No we shouldn't.
And that's not what anyone is calling for.
There's not a quick fix.
But it would be a good start to carefully examine our country's journalism schools and how they prepare their graduates.

Additionally, folks need to stop buying/supporting media sources that don't supply hard sources, quotes, and measurable outcomes, rather than editorial pieces disguised as "news."

If you thought McMaster or Tillerson's statements were denials you weren't reading and/or listening carefully


McMaster is NSA, he has a duty to disclose things like this to Congress if it happens. That has not been done. You are reaching.

I have gotten to the point of totally discounting all the BS reports coming out in the media.

people supplying Trump with fake news on purpose to rile him up?!! LOL!!!

Same source.

Dude, Trump leaked that out, so that his people could then expose WaPo as making up lies. When are you guys going to catch on?

Bannon fired?
Spicer fired?
Comey investigating Trump?
Trump leaked to Russians?

Trump is having the time of his life, letting his enemies bury themselves. He's just following the good advice of world leaders

Since it is now a fact that you trust the said leaker if Trump is the leaker that means you must trust Trump.

I just thought how awesome it would be if Trump gave Russia some false information and then directed this leak to cause an uproar about Trump leaking valuable classified Intel to the Russians so they'd buy it.

I know that's not what happened here, but I hope stuff like that does happen irl.

You think any of them would still have a job is they didn't deny his babbling? Just look at what he did to Comey when he wouldn't declare his loyalty to him.

The 3 ppl in the room aren't reliable but unanimous sources are? Are you mentally retarded or just plain stupid?

Heard a guy on CNN actually say that even if this story is NOT true, that it hurts America and therefore Trump needs to go.

Yes, even if the media made it up, it's Trump's fault.

That part is definitely true. If the media is making shite like this up and it impacts relationships with allies, that's a problem.

Now I just heard Trump refer to the West Bank (the modern incarnation of Judea and Samaria) as PALESTINE! Is Trump now committed to a two state solution, contrary to his campaign rhetoric?

Because we have all seen what Trump does to people that won't back him and reinforce his ridiculous claims. I don't trust anyone around him anymore. They're going to protect their jobs and their power because they know Trump will get rid of them with the quickness if they don't toe his delusional line.

To be fair, it was a guest and not Anderson Cooper himself that said it. But I was like "Wow."
