Deranged Rhino Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Key word: "Claims"... from a former MI6 officer working on behalf of an opposition research think tank and based entirely on unnamed sources. Dynamite evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Key word: "Claims"... from a former MI6 officer working on behalf of an opposition research think tank and based entirely on unnamed sources. Dynamite evidence. An unverified MI6 officer. So basically just a guy who says he was. Another W for journalism in a long line of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Trump showered with leaks: https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3259984/Trump-Intelligence-Allegations.pdf Which originated from Reddit 4chan and are in fact fake. I'm not sure which I'm rooting for -- buzzfeed stepping on the fake news rake, or pissgate being real. Both will be hilarious.

But it's from Julian Assange, retweeted by General Flynn, so it has to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prickly Pete Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I think this is a pre-emptive strike, before the FBI gets going on the Weiner/Clinton investigation, which was reported to contain similar "perversions" by the Clintons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Our 'responsible' media.................. December 30: We need to be fair and accurate and not spread fake news. January 10: Trump watched anime porn with Russian hookers! and they wonder why Americans turned away from them and Hillary and voted for a non politician What part of: "NPR has not yet independently verified these reports. And as writers at the blog Lawfare cautioned, it may be smart to "take a deep breath" about this story: "We have no idea if any of these allegations are true. Yes, they are explosive; they are also entirely unsubstantiated, at least to our knowledge, at this stage," they wrote." Is that not fair and accurate. Should they just remain quiet. Sounds pretty "fair" and trying to make heads or tails out of this... No? Edited January 11, 2017 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) No. They’ve been working to confirm story for “weeks" but unable to. This new publication standard is most interesting. As the great editors say, “work hard to confirm the story, but if you can’t, publish it and let the public decide.” Even a blowhard like Donald Trump deserves journalistic fairness but I guess thats too much to expect Edited January 11, 2017 by B-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This new publication standard is most interesting. As the great editors say, “work hard to confirm the story, but if you can’t, publish it and let the public decide.” What is really is true is false and what is false is true. Does it really matter. See how anything can be played. Quite a paradox. What is true and what is not... And who is spinning what? Will we ever know? Of course not. Not at this stage of the game.

Some very easy internet sluething will lead you to the archived 4chan page where these rumors originated. It's very clearly false. But CNN hasn't heard that part yet... they're covering everything but pissgate because pissgate "can't be confirmed", but the rest of the details are being reported by CNN even though they come from the same unconfirmed source document.

B-Man Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 BuzzFeed’s Trump Report Takes Fake News To A New Level. “There is literally no evidence on offer in these memos or from BuzzFeed that any single sentence in these documents is factual or true. What’s more, we know most major news organizations in America had seen them and despite their well-known institutional antipathy toward Trump, had chosen not to publish them or even make reference to them after efforts to substantiate their charges had failed.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Trump clearly made nice with Putin, that was strange, then he said things about NATO being obsolete, that was strange, but if he was being blackmailed by Putin, it does put those things in perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
