If it's from CNN, it's fake news. Sorry.

Awesome. More unsubstantiated rumor from anonymous sources.

This is interesting in conjunction with the firing of Scattermonkey. Kelly seems like a serious and dedicated professional. I just don't see him lasting very long unless Trump is serious about changing. If this Married be can shut down Trump's mouth and twitter ramblings Trump might accomplish something. But if he loses this guy...

Unless Comey and Kelly say the story is false , it's possible

 

If they both say no comment then it is likely true. They wouldn't want the orange guy to freak out.

That's not news, and that's not how reporting works. That's gossip, and it's what fuels entities like The National Enquirer.

Just like when they had a story about Ted Cruz' father being involved in the JFK assassination and then Chumpster making mention of it like it was real news. :lol:

Kelly called Comey to discuss Russian adoption, it is obvious.

 

The anonymous stories are always fun, and the far right wing push back, right up until the administration has to answer for them. I remember when people tried to shut down the Trump Jr/Russian meeting. Until he posted the emails himself the narrative was "don't trust anonymous sources in the New York Times." How quickly it changed!

Yes, that's perfect example of what I mean. We already have the Enquirer. We don't need CNN to emulate them.

Unsubstantiated reports from anonymous sources should never be trusted. You cite Trump jr's Russia meeting as an example to justify that kind of reporting, but I would remind you of the scores of other such reports that have amounted to absolutely nothing. You appear to be supporting a method of news reporting that ultimately yields 95% innuendo and 5% fact.

 

Like I said above, that's not news, and that's not how reporting works.

We will see. Deep Throat was an anonymous source. They've been around and a tangled problem for a long time. But important too.

 

Usually on a story with specifics and magnitude, the White House, in this case, is given the opportunity to push back if the facts are wrong.

The White House worked with Fox News and a wealthy Republican donor to push a story about the murder of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, according to an explosive lawsuit filed Tuesday.

The story was pushed in an attempt to discredit the US intelligence community's determination that Russia hacked the Democratic National Committee and obtained the emails released by Wikileaks, the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit, which was first reported by NPR, was filed in US District Court in the Southern District of New York. The plaintiff is Rod Wheeler, a Fox News contributor and former homicide detective hired to investigate Rich's death, who alleges that he was misquoted as part of the effort to put the story together. Douglas Wigdor, who is representing current and former Fox employees in other lawsuits against the network, is Wheeler's lawyer. 21st Century Fox, the Fox News Channel, Fox News reporter Malia Zimmerman and Republican donor Ed Butowsky are named as defendants. Butowsky denies the allegations in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit says in part, "The motivation behind the article: establish that Seth Rich provided WikiLeaks with the DNC emails to shift the blame from Russia and help put to bed speculation that President Trump colluded with Russia in an attempt to influence the outcome of the Presidential election. ... Zimmerman, Butowsky and Fox had created fake news to advance President Trump's agenda. Mr. Wheeler was subsequently forced to correct the false record and, as a result, lost all credibility in the eyes of the public. Mr. Wheeler has suffered irreparable damage to his reputation and his career will likely never recover."

Included in the lawsuit is a text message from Butowsky to Wheeler in which Butowsky writes, "Not to add any more pressure but the president just read the article. He wants the article out immediately. It's now all up to you. But don't feel the pressure."
