Suffered its Most Humiliating Debacle in Ages

If this isn't the Best Proof that the MSM hates Trump and everything he stands for then I don't know what is.

The U.S. Media Yesterday Suffered its Most Humiliating Debacle in Ages: Now Refuses All Transparency Over What Happened

FACT, They still haven't Apologized.

FRIDAY WAS ONE, of the most embarrassing days for the U.S. media in quite a long time.

The humiliation orgy was kicked off by CNN, with MSNBC and CBS close behind, with countless pundits, commentators and operatives joining the party throughout the day.
By the end of the day, it was clear that several of the nation’s largest and most influential news outlets had spread an explosive but completely false news story to millions of people, while refusing to provide any explanation of how it happened.

The spectacle began on Friday morning at 11:00 am EST, when the Most Trusted Name in News™ spent 12 straight minutes on air flamboyantly hyping an exclusive bombshell report that seemed to prove that WikiLeaks, last September, had secretly offered the Trump campaign, even Donald Trump himself, special access to the DNC emails before they were published on the internet.
As CNN sees the world, this would prove collusion between the Trump family and WikiLeaks and, more importantly, between Trump and Russia, since the U.S. intelligence community regards WikiLeaks as an “arm of Russian intelligence,” and therefore, so does the U.S. media.

This entire revelation was based on an email which CNN strongly implied it had exclusively obtained and had in its possession.

The email was sent by someone named “Michael J. Erickson” – someone nobody had heard of previously and whom CNN could not identify – to Donald Trump, Jr., offering a decryption key and access to DNC emails that WikiLeaks had “uploaded.” The email was a smoking gun, in CNN’s extremely excited mind, because it was dated September 4 – ten days before WikiLeaks began promoting access to those emails online – and thus proved that the Trump family was being offered special, unique access to the DNC archive: likely by WikiLeaks and the Kremlin.

I'm going to attach the video, but remember that the actual date that this emails were released was the 14 of Sept.

There was just one small problem with this story: it was fundamentally false, in the most embarrassing way possible. Hours after CNN broadcast its story – and then hyped it over and over and over – the Washington Post reported that CNN got the key fact of the story wrong.

The email was not dated September 4, as CNN claimed, but rather September 14 – which means it was sent after WikiLeaks had already published access to the DNC emails online.
Thus, rather than offering some sort of special access to Trump, “Michael J. Erickson” was simply some random person from the public encouraging the Trump family to look at the publicly available DNC emails that WikiLeaks – as everyone by then already knew – had publicly promoted. In other words, the email was the exact opposite of what CNN presented it as being.

That's not all.

How did CNN end up aggressively hyping such a spectacularly false story?
They refuse to say.
Many hours after their story got exposed as false, the journalist who originally presented it, Congressional reporter Manu Raju, finally posted a tweet noting the correction. CNN’s PR Department then claimed that “multiple sources” had provided CNN with the false date. 

Multiple Source's,,,,, REALLY? Name Them!!!!!

One tweet from Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu, claiming that this proved evidence of criminal collusion, was re-tweeted thousands and thousands of times in just a few hours (Lieu quietly deleted the tweet after I noted its falsity, and long after it went very viral, without ever telling his followers that the CNN story, and therefore his accusation, had been debunked).

 Democrats Are SCUM.
Now for more of their Trump Hating.....

Second, the “multiple sources” who fed CNN this false information did not confine themselves to that network.
They were apparently very busy eagerly spreading the false information to as many media outlets as they could find.

In the middle of the day, CBS News claimed that it had independently “confirmed” CNN’s story about the email, and published its own breathless article discussing the grave implications of this discovered collusion.

Most embarrassing of all was what MSNBC did.
You just have to watch this report from its “intelligence and national security correspondent” Ken Dilanian to believe it.
Like CBS, Dilanian also claimed that he independently “confirmed” the false CNN report from “two sources with direct knowledge of this.” Dilanian, whose career in the U.S. media continues to flourish the more he is exposed as someone who faithfully parrots what the CIA tells him to say (since that is one of the most coveted and valued attributes in US journalism), spent three minutes mixing evidence-free CIA claims as fact with totally false assertions about what his multiple “sources with direct knowledge” told him about all this.

Please watch this – again, not just the content but the tenor and tone of how they “report” – as it is Baghdad-Bob-level embarrassing:

Now just think about this a minute,,,,, how did all these news outlets get the same Fake Information to Harm the Trump Presidency.

Think about what this means.
It means that at least two – and possibly more – sources, which these media outlets all assessed as credible in terms of having access to sensitive information, all fed the same false information to multiple news outlets at the same time.
For multiple reasons, the probability is very high that these sources were Democratic members of the House Intelligence Committee (or their high-level staff members), which is the committee that obtained access to Trump Jr.’s emails, although it’s certainly possible that it’s someone else.
We won’t know until these news outlets deign to report this crucial information to the public: which “multiple sources” acted jointly to disseminate incredibly inflammatory, false information to the nation’s largest news outlets?

Now,,,,,

If this were, in fact, a deliberate attempt to cause a false and highly inflammatory story to be reported, then these media outlets have an obligation to expose who the culprits are – just as the Washington Post did last week to the woman making false claims about Roy Moore (it was much easier in that case because the source they exposed was a nobody-in-DC, rather than someone on whom they rely for a steady stream of stories, the way CNN and MSNBC rely on Democratic members of the Intelligence Committee).
By contrast, if this were just an innocent mistake, then these media outlets should explain how such an implausible sequence of events could possibly have happened.

I was wondering if they do not realize that if Mueller does bring any charges that Trump and his attorneys can claim that he has been denied due process because the media has already proclaimed him guilty? 
They can bring up this very article, which has a good many good details, among other things. The more they pull this BS the greater are the chances that it will blow up in the face of the DNC if in fact Mueller does scrape something out from under a rock.

Could this be a case of throw a lot of mud and hope some sticks ?

Unfortunately CNN does not know what a harmless joke is.. They are so filled with themselves anyone with a good nose can smell them from a mile away.

[BIAD]

It could be, but the reason alludes me.

Yeah, Trump isn't the traditional style of a President. Maybe he is a liar and a rogue who built
his empire on the backs of low-paid workers. Maybe the hotel-owner dabbled in Hollywood and
cast himself as a boasting clown... there's lots of names and memes for what he could be.

But he's at where the buck stops and the mainstream media should hold him accountable for
the things he said he's going to do and acknowledge the things he's done. Good or bad.

But they don't... they ridicule him and look for stories they can attach his name to.
The core problem in the MSM isn't that President Trump is a poor President, it's that the groundwork
that led to his election win is due to the media's lack of countrywide reporting.

Sure, there's local medias that report local news, but the USA  seems to be divided into two areas.
You have the east coast, with it governing section. Where gossip and half-truths are printed everyday as
fact, where what some Senator is doing for lunch is far-more important than the realities of what the public
are doing to get-by everyday.

It's bourgeois, it's reporting of a class-level that most of US citizens aren't into. They just want real facts
about decisions that effect them.

Then you have the west coast with it's Hollywood-elitism. A place where cotton-wooled, grandiose liberals
talk of helping 'the lesser' and believe it makes them a better person. The education facilities brainwash
the kids to believe white men are slave-owners and black people are down-trodden... like CNN'S poor Don
Lemon or Zain Asher.

Hollywood berates Trump because he -of all people, should know that when you need your pool cleaning,
the help is just south of that State. Good-grief! who does the President think is going to clean it?!!

These examples are just the tip of the iceberg, the political preferences have an effect on their reporting
and all the time, the bit in the middle of the USA, the fly-over places ignored, watches this tennis match
and decided to do something about it.

The problem with the media isn't Trump, it's the talent within it's own ranks.
They don't want to be Reporters, they want an easy ride.
......................................


The only possible answer to the 'mud-stick' idea is that with such a radical change in leadership, the
people who've enjoyed such an easy-going lifestyle came to the conclusion that some-sort of organising
had taken place to accomplish it.

Keeping the same narrative about how Obama was the beacon of diversity justice and reporting on the
kind, benevolent actions of MSM's version of the middle-class (which was really the upper-class!), was not
just simple isolated instances, the narrative was organised.

For years, Journalists sat in the Press Room of the White House, wore a wind-cheater in a hurricane and
showed the public that they were the ones to be trusted. There's no need for green-screens when words
can convince it's readers/viewers that the mainstream media and the echelon that they report on, are the
people who drive America forward.

How many people do you know that gets 25 million dollars a year for simply reading off a teleprompter?!

Then it changed. In one evening, these same wealthy, confident people watched their world turn upside-down.
Collusion must have taken place. The 'Rust-Belt' must've contacted the retired down in Florida, struggling family
-ran businesses in Alabama surely rang farmers in Wisconsin and told them who to vote for.
Surely?

Or... there was a centre-point in all of this, a foreign agency that spun a spider's web across the land and
with a nod of approval from the flaxon-haired candidate who like to bullsh*t in his election bus, this secret
team of Soviet computer nerds convinced a gullible, white, red-necked basket of uneducated deplorables
to vote for Donald J. Trump.

That's the only answer. Without any security in America -even after 9/11, the Ruskies invaded the USA
and told the masses what to think. It must be, it worked for the mainstream media for years!

My only other suggestion is that the same MSM had become so obvious in their banal rhetoric that everyone
north, south, east and west, became tired of the way the country was being ran and decided by using their
societal logic, that enough was enough.

They accuse you of the things they do.

[Grace]

@'BIAD' - you are absolutely 100% correct. .. 

And I wholeheartedly agree with you when you said they accuse us of the things they do. 

When they call us racist, it's because they are and thus cannot imagine that we aren't just like them... look at the damage their policies have done in the black communities... they haven't done any favors, they've instead spent my lifetime paying off the black communities  (as little as possible ) to keep them out of their hair..until it's time to vote again. .. lol

Russian collusion, look at the dossier they paid good money for a got Russian help to depose a sitting president, if need be to keep the status quo. 

If you want to find contact and communication with Russians look no further than the DNC and the Hillary campaign... but of course, that's not who they want to go after... lol..

Every lie about the right is nothing more than the reality that is the left. 

There are actual psychological terms for the phenomenon. .. the cheating husband always accuses the faithful wife of cheating (and vice versa) because they cannot conceive of any other thought process than their own. .

Absolutely correct. It IS a real psychological phenomena called "projection". That's one of the ways I keep track of what other folks are up to - I just listen to hear what they accuse ME of being up to! It's one of my awesome Ninja skillz.

See, people tend to think that everyone else thinks the same way they do, and will act and react in the same way they will. It's part of the basic human psyche. It's one of the reasons that "batshit crazy" amuses me so much - those folks regularly pop gaskets because the world doesn't act and think in the same way they do, and they simply cannot comprehend that... and next thing you know, their minds are spinning so furiously to try to grasp reality, to try and place it in a framework THEY have constructed - but into which it just can't fit - that smoke pours out their ears.

So, for the DNC, to figure out what they've been doing, just listen to what they accuse Trump of doing.

Case in point - "Trump stole the elections!"... but Trump is not the one that got busted with extra absentee ballots in his trunk, or registering dead folks and getting them to somehow vote. "Trump colluded with Russians!"... but Trump is not the one that got busted paying for fake "dossiers" on the opposition, or selling off US uranium to the Kremin and stashing the payoff in "non profit" organizations.

Gets 'em every time. Pop some popcorn and sit back to watch, because smoke is gonna come.

I used to use this at work, that psychological projection thingy, to see who was doing what.  It really is true.  Some people were flabbergasted to learn my mind didn't work in the same sinister ways theirs did.  The dumbstruck expression that washed over their face when I pointed out that "it takes one to know one" (for shorter terminology here) was priceless.    

From what I've been seeing all over Twitter, the smoke is boiling and the fire is about to spark.  I have my Jiffy Pop popcorn sitting on the stove eye ready to turn it on.  Been saving it all these years for just such an occasion!

Washington Post reporter apologises after Trump calls out ‘wrong’ rally photo.

'President Trump lashed out at a Washington Post reporter Saturday over a a tweet that
erroneously downsized the crowd at a Trump rally in Florida.

Trump was upset at a since-deleted tweet from politics reporter Dave Weigel‏ that appeared
to mock the president for declaring the rally “packed to the rafters” on Friday night. Wiegel’s
tweet included a picture of a half-empty Pensacola Bay Center.

“@DaveWeigel WashingtonPost put out a phony photo of an empty arena hours before I arrived
the venue, w/ thousands of people outside, on their way in,” Trump tweeted just after 5 p.m. Saturday.

“Real photos now shown as I spoke. Packed house, many people unable to get in.
Demand apology & retraction from FAKE NEWS WaPo!”



Weigel apologized three minutes later, tweeting that he deleted the post after Daily Mail political editor
David Martosko told him that he was wrong.

“Sure thing: I apologize,” Weigel tweeted, quoting the president’s post.
“I deleted the photo after @dmartosko told me I’d gotten it wrong.
Was confused by the image of you walking in the bottom right corner.”

In a second tweet Saturday, Weigel added,
“It was a bad tweet on my personal account, not a story for Washington Post.
I deleted it after like 20 minutes. Very fair to call me out.”

Trump famously disputed the lackluster crowd size at his inauguration. Former White House press
secretary Sean Spicer said Trump’s was the largest crowd ever an inauguration, though National
Park Service photos from the ceremony showed far fewer attendees in the National Mall than
were at President Obama’s first inauguration in 2009...'

SOURCE:

For goodness sake! The public's opinion on a Presidency isn't decided on by the mount of people in a single venue.
It could be telling during a candidacy race, maybe... but I've heard that Donald Trump is already the President.
Get over it and stop looking for mud.
