CNN producer admits his own network is fake news - Page 2 - Politics version 7.0 -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

This is your go to? Hahaha. Because the conspiracy is coming from those debunking the conspiracy.

So many people need to look into BigFoot because those BigFoot deniers keep conspiring against them. I'd say your logic is flawed, but you and I both know you don't have any.

You don't seem to understand what's going on. People are investigating Trump's connections to Russia--connections he and people in his campaign have not been forthright about. Anyone who is saying he or is campaign colluded with Russia is jumping the gun.

But reporting on the hacking, the "forgotten" meetings, Trump's ties to Russia and the Trump administration's desire to weaken sanctions against Russia that were passed by 97 senators is not "bull****" or "fake news."

Stop whining like a baby when the press covers your dumb leader's mistakes. It's unseemly.

the whole russia thing is a witch hunt. there is no evidence. imo their goal has been to accomplish two things. obviously to delegitimize trump. the other reason is to do to trump what they did to hilary. open an investigation which then casts a wide net and hopefully picks up something real. i think that still might happen but the russia stuff looks like a witch hunt at this point

the hysteria on the left is growing more and more. 3 more years of this is going to look really bad. its not just the fake russia nonsense, its the general hysteria and then facing the reality of failure after failure

Who controls congress?

Do you think that the known Manafort/Flynn connections to Russia are worth looking into?

Do people like jiggy or Juan have actual political beliefs, or is their participation in politics forums more about hating anyone who is a decent person?

Can't think of a time I've seen either of them do anything other than whine generically about libruls.

Is that a yes?

And, yeah, I get that people let tribalism cloud any semblance of critical thinking.

I agree with Republicans on this--not worth looking into.

lol--this CNN producer doesn't even cover politics or news. He's a health reporter.

This is lame even by Project Veritas standards.

Perhaps you missed the part where the CEO of CNN said to get back to the Russia story after the Paris climate accords. Does he not cover politics too?

The only people who still watch Cuck News Network are old geriatric types who are operating with room temperature IQ's. I think they just watch it for the background noise at this point while they drink their liquefied meal replacements.

This is their reporting, obviously updated to include Nancy Sinatra's Twitter response in LS' picture above:

The thing is, she did tweet exactly what CNN says she did, and others have screenshots. She then deleted the tweet.

Cliffs: the internet remembers everything, Nancy Sinatra is a dumb old who doesn't get that, Love Sosa is a dumb internet poster who has never employed critical thinking in his life

CNN's Mr Unreliable Sources himself Brian Stelter wrote the story of the firings over the fake news story this weekend and included this choice bit of weasel wisdom:

"In a staff meeting Monday afternoon, investigative unit members were told that the retraction did not mean the facts of the story were necessarily wrong. Rather, it meant that "the story wasn't solid enough to publish as-is,..."

http://money.cnn.com/2017/06/26/medi...cle/index.html

When it was pointed out to him that this bit of Dan Rather-style "fake, but accurate" hokum seemed to be insisting the story was true, he was forced to follow up with this tweet:

"Brian Stelter @brianstelter

To be clear, nothing in my story should be taken to imply that Scaramucci is under investigation."

So pure.

So basically they are all fake news? Sounds like anyone who has observational skills and values their own word. Oh yeah, Cheeto breath shouldn't talk pointing out that others are fake ****.

The Trump/Russia story is an actual news story. I know that stings.
