"Members of the pro-Trump media acted like they hit the goldmine on Wednesday morning. Led by Fox News, these outlets went into a frenzy over what they presented as an explosive story that not only cast former President Obama and Hillary Clinton in a negative light, but simultaneously helped vindicate claims then-candidate Donald Trump made about the investigation into Clinton's private email server being "rigged."?

Saying the word "debunked" does not debunk anything.

I'm guessing more anonymous sources?

I'm sorry, but anyone who links CNN as a credible news site anymore deserves to be laughed out of the room. They have lost any notion of objectivity in their reporting.

But a CNN review of the story's premise indicates that key text messages the story relied on were taken out of context, and portrayed as meaning something entirely different than what they actually meant.
Unfortunately for CNN, not only were they not taken out of context, CNN's contorted narrative doesn't fit either the language or time sequence involved.

Ummmm, your post doesn't refute the statement you made. Can you explain to me why/how it's debunked? I don't have access to American news media unless it is linked.

Thanks!

Thus is exactly why i keep saying we need to see people in handcuffs. Not even CNN can spin that.

As we look in, what does today's episode of "post and run" have in store for us?

Remember the days when CNN at least pretended to be an real news outlet?

Now, every day is fantasy day. If you don't like the truth you simply report what you want and cite it with "anonymous sources".

:pathetic:
