Disgraced CNN Tries to Distance Themselves from BuzzFeed FAKE NEWS Report
CNN has released a statement trying to get away their reporting of BuzzFeed’s false report published yesterday, which had unverified statements about Trump.
From Breitbart:
Midday Tuesday, CNN tweeted a full statement from their Twitter account saying,
CNN’s decision to publish carefully sourced reporting about the operations of our government is vastly different than BuzzFeed’s decision to publish unsubstantiated memos. The Trump team knows this. They are using BuzzFeed’s decision to deflect from CNN’s reporting, which has been matched by the other major news organisations.
The statement continues,
We are fully confident in our reporting. It represents the core of what the First Amendment protects, informing the people of the inner workings of their government; in this case, briefing materials prepared for President Obama and President-elect Trump last week. We made it clear that we were not publishing any of the details of the 35-page document because we have not corroborated the report’s allegations.
The statement then poses a direct challenge to the transition team of President-elect Trump,
Given that members of the Trump transition team have so vocally criticized our reporting, we encourage them to identify, specifically, what they believe to be inaccurate.
CNN’s report is here. Buzzfeed’s report is here.
Update: Buzzfeed editors are trying to avoid a public argument with CNN over their decision to publish the unverified documents.
Editor @BuzzFeedBen tells me they’re “not going to participate in an attempt to divide the media against each other” following CNN criticism

CNN is clearly trying to make lemonade of lemons but has no credibility in our view.
Watch Anderson Cooper outright lie to protect the Clinton crime family – exposed in this video. He claims CNN has never covered a story about Bill’s rape victims which is completely false.

Who is cnn? Last I heard of them was in a history book under the heading “fake news.”
Fake puppeteer reporter’s and officially “The FAKE NEWS”
I remember when CNN was once a trusted news source, of course that was 25-30 years ago,
I commend our President Elect for having the balls to call out the press when wrong and to rightly ignore ‘giving them a chance to ask a question’ when they are rude and biased. CNN made it’s bed, now they have to sleep in it. Actions have consequences… yeah, I know that is a foreign concept to some in politics and the press, but ask the little guy on the street, he’ll tell ya the truth.
Lmao CNN will never get its credibility back !!! If they think they will they are so far gone they even believe the lies they put on air and in print. The only thing they can do is to pull the CNN News off the air all together . No one watches them any way . Well except the crazy people the globalist / commie . dims . They are so stupid if the muzzy squatter in the WH and CNN said the sky was green they would believe it . Yah got to love the sheep.
When quoting a source, please use quotation marks. That’s standard. Omitting them creates confusion.
