A Review Of The Main Stream Media's Coverage Of The BuzzFeed Story That Claims President Trump Told His Lawyer To Lie To Congress


Gabrien: Montage: Media Was Already Calling for Trump Impeachment Following Disputed BuzzFeed Report

Mere moments after BuzzFeed published a report — elements of which are now being called “false” by Special Council Robert Mueller’s office — the media had already begun invoking Trump’s imminent impeachment.

CBS News’s Paula Reid said: "If this 'BuzzFeed' news report is true, that the special counsel has evidence beyond just Michael Cohen's testimony, that the president directed his former personal attorney to lie to Congress, then we are likely on our way to possible impeachment proceedings. Because this, this is black and white.”

Update: CNN And MSNBC Repeatedly Floated Impeachment Over Disputed BuzzFeed Report (Daily Caller)

WNU Editor: Yup .... CNN Guest: BuzzFeed ‘Got Their Brains Kicked In’ By Mueller’s Team (Daily Caller). This is how a news organization commits corporate suicide, and doubly so for the major main stream news media organizations who made the decision to rebroadcast this lie for the entire day. Instapundit has a good summary on this breaking news story (link here).

On a side note. I am pleased that the Mueller Counsel made the decision to make this statement tonight. It must have been very difficult for them to do it, but I understand why they did it. We learned in the past 24 hours how these type of false stories can seriously damage the Presidency and the ability of a President to do his job. The vitriol that was on every news network, the coverage in newspapers like the New York Times, Washington Post, the call among many in Congress for an investigation and to begin impeachment hearings, and in social media .... talk about a firestorm of Trump hatred and anger. And it does not stop there. The international coverage was even worse, where there was open speculation that this was the end of the Trump Presidency. And all of this was based on one news story that was not true. Bottom line. This is a black day for the press, and one that many people are not going to forget.

Nonsense. If every time one person or low grade website goofs up it is a bad day for all websites then we are in real trouble. Save the mourning for when a real news organization really screws up or, perhaps, saves the rule of law and the Constitution. I guess bloggers like you have difficulty seeing clearly when your side of the world cheers when Constitutional freedoms are trampled. According to numerous USA polls, Americans have turned against the dark side. That is the draft you must be feeling.

Dear diary...

Rule of law such as equal justice under the law like when Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom & former Obama White House Counsel Greg Craig get a slap on the wrist and Manafort gets an anal probe?

I do not like Manafort; he did not pay all of his taxes. I do not despise Manafort, since he is merely a creature of his milieu . He is a minor player doing the hard work of paving the way for the grandees and he wanted want they had more easily. But solitary confinement? That is Democrat Party police state stuff.

Trampling the Constitution like when Samantha Power uses the machinery of government to unmask people and the political opposition of the Democrat Party and then spy upon scores and scores of people, they found nothing, but they sic the FBI and a special prosecutor on them anyway?

New York Times, Washington Post, Time Magazine et al are all rags. Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos, a billionaire. This might as well be the high middle ages but with different trappings.

The establish boys of the news business chose to run with the story without vetting because of peculiar political predilections.

Unless the "Dear diary..." post was the parrot, the parrot crawled under a rock.

What a waste. A mark 1 mod 1 brain used for nothing more than to go with the flow, the buzz. Might as well be an atom or a molecule in a fluid.

Who is going to review and sign off on the Meuller Report? Why Meuller of course.

Who is said the Buzzfeed article is BS. Why Mueller of course.

Who is a slow learner? Why the panter of course.

I mean come on Mueller is going to say something different in 'his' report about the Buzzfeed allegations than what he said today?

Like I said panter is a slow learner.

Biases indeed.

Anon: you are dead wrong on final dispostion of Mueller report. If you can not get that right, then what can you say that makes sense?

Anonymous said...

Freddie,

I did not say anything about the final disposition of the Meuller report except for one thing in particular.

I wrote that the Meuller report would not agree or back up the Buzzfeed hit piece authored by their self admitted liar, self admitted back stabber, and self admitted mentally ill reporter.

Learn how to read.
