Talking junk to CNN means nothing. If he talks junk to every other major news organization, maybe he'll have some credibility; otherwise, he'll be a hypocrite (which he is). All major media is playing mind games with the public, not just CNN.The president-elect handled CNN very well, but overall he's just terrible. Very unimpressed with how he handled questions. Pretty much treated it like a campaign stop. Pssst, Mr President (elect), you won the election, now it's time to actually walk the walk instead of talking the talk. Not that I expected much more though.
According to multiple sources (including intelligence officials) speaking to CNN, at least.
Provided this holds up... Trump is hosed, if not the country. He either has to contradict himself and admit that Russia was behind the DNC/Podesta hacks, or coddle the Russians even more knowing that they can blackmail him. It's also a friendly reminder to the WikiLeaks apologists: state-sponsored Russian hacking cuts both ways, and just because it's accurate info doesn't make it okay.
There's also this potentially damning part in the piece:
The two-page synopsis [appended to the hacking report] also included allegations that there was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government, according to two national security officials.
Sources tell CNN that these same allegations about communications between the Trump campaign and the Russians, mentioned in classified briefings for congressional leaders last year, prompted then-Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid to send a letter to FBI Director Comey in October, in which he wrote, "It has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government -- a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States."
If it's really ongoing... that's questionable at best, treason at worst.
Hook, line, sinker inhalation by CNN and agentjoke00fail
CNN reports the same stuff that Fox, MSNBC or Dailyfail report so why go after them?
It's just another stupid little thing meant to divide people. Now your going to have the alt-right people getting happy that Trump is calling out CNN. On the other side, the leftists are going to be upset over Trump bullying the media.
And the two sides will continue to fight over this silly stuff. LOL
We are all being played.
Gold.Thanks. That "leaked intelligence document" looked bogus as hell.
Buzzfeed is a joke. But it's disturbing that others also saw fit to perpetuate this story as well as the completely false narrative that Michael Cohen and three colleagues traveled to Prague to meet with Russian operatives. They must have learned how to vet their stories from Dan Rather. I wish Newsroom was still on the air...I'd love to see an episode on this fiasco.It needs to be quoted again.
I feel like people haven't seen the details of how fake this leaking story is.
It was handled by the intelligence agencies as an example of disinformation
CNN and Buzzfeed thought it was fit to print.

Where you accidentally dropped as a child?Does this mean that mainstream journalism is back in the good graces of the ethnofascist defense force again?

A 35-page memorandum published by BuzzFeed on Tuesday includes claims that the Russian government has been cultivating, supporting and assisting Trump for five years — even obtaining compromising information in an effort to blackmail him. The document, which was not prepared by the U.S. government, contains obvious errors. It was originally generated as part of opposition research by anti-Trump Republicans and then shopped by Democrats.
Hook, line and sinker. ROFL.Dude, everybody has this now. You are going to have to hang it on the mainstream media. All of them are lying I guess. Sliming the messenger is simply not going to work.
Seriously though, would you REALLY be surprised that Mr Trump was a sexual pervert? If so, that says a whole lot more about you than Trump.
Is that what the voices tell you?Just a heads up your sort's mental processes are rather more transparent than they like to believe.
The president is supposed to make decisions in the country's interest, not russia's. Not sure why this is so hard to figure, even the conservatives get it which is why the EDF is out in force.
The highest form of control is internalized propaganda so not a great idea to brag about it. Eg. making this about the leak of a doc that many had access to over quite some while rather than how much leverage Kremlin actually has over Trump. Acting like Putin's bitch really doesn't help his case.
Just a heads up you're only embarrassing yourself, not that rock bottom is far off here.
So anonymous "sources" say he was briefed but he says he wasn't. The report comes from some ex brit spy, but who knows where he got it. He hasn't commented. So he probably took it from mccain, or some other idiot, who got it from Wilson who got it from 4chan.
This shit just keeps getting better.
Is that what the voices tell you?
If that's really how this all happened, the media (most notably CNN) is going to get pounded into oblivion. I wonder if facebook is going to filter out all of CNN now since they are fake news.
... and of course the silly lefty dolts who so desperately want to believe this fake news to validate their looney world view.

Speaking of hook, line, and sinker, this is exactly how the right-wing echo chamber remains so consistently misinformed. Rather than actually reading articles about these documents, you all chose to swallow the partisan spin of another bubble dweller instead. You were duped.Hook, line, sinker inhalation by CNN and agentjoke00fail
Hook, line and sinker. ROFL.
DittoAnd let's not forget the Michael Cohen situation. Lol.
Fucking lefty rubes. They are so desperate to cut down trump they'll believe anything and marginalize their shitty news further.
Life is complex. That really seems incompatible with many partisans.Nuance.
That's not how journalism works. They are now no better than the national inquirer
Kind of awesome how the guy who has no problem relying on an 'extremely credible source' that Obama's birth certificate was a fake is now frothing at the mouth about supposedly bad sources. Sad!
So in light of Cohen presenting his passport as evidence do you actually still think that there's a real possibility that he actually met with Russian operatives in Prague?Ditto
Then please tell me what it is.Keep in mind folks smarter than yourself can see it for what it is, and that's a lot of people.
Then please tell me what it is.
