Propaganda watch

[Mystic Wanderer]

A fine piece that looks at how the mainstream media's default position is to ignore the goal of accurate information
and instead, strive to entertain with unverified biased gossip.

Buzzfeed, Question Time & the purpose of Fake News.

'Two days ago BuzzFeed published a front page story, under a “BREAKING” banner, headlined:
President Trump Directed His Attorney Michael Cohen To Lie To Congress About The Moscow Tower Project

In the article, Buzzfeed reporters Jason Leopold and Anthony Cormier claim to have been told, by two anonymous
sources, that Robert Mueller’s “Russiagate” investigation had evidence Donald Trump had instructed his lawyer to
lie to Congress. That would be a felony, and obviously an impeachable offence.

The reaction of the news media and associated twitterati was as quick as it was predictable. MSNCBC, CNN,
the BBC, The Guardian…the usual suspects. They were all over it within hours.
But then, less than a day later, Robert Mueller’s spokesperson Peter Carr issued this statement:

"BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the special counsel’s office,
and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding
Michael Cohen’s congressional testimony are not accurate,”

Despite this, BuzzFeed is sticking to its guns. Insisting that Mueller’s statement is vague, and therefore does not
undercut the heart of their story.

This was all the "Buzz" on Twitter the other day. It's so disgusting how they take a lie and spread it to smear the President. Even if they did have the decency to write a retraction, which I haven't seen yet, it would not be seen by millions of readers. They will go on spreading the lie and thinking "they have him now"!  IMPEACH! 

It's why the President says the Fake News is the enemy of the people.  He's absolutely right.
