>BuzzFeed played right into his hands. There are legitimate questions raised about how determined Trump has been to ignore evidence of Russia’s hacking operations prior to the election. But BuzzFeed did more to obscure and discredit these questions than Trump Tower could ever hope to. By publishing the uncorroborated dossier, BuzzFeed has associated the Russia issue with fantastical rumors and hearsay.
> If the election had gone the other way, it is hard to see BuzzFeed publishing a 35-page document containing unverified, lurid allegations about President-elect Hillary Clinton that it didn’t consider credible. This was an anti-Trump decision, pure and simple.
Buzzfeed published the document and clearly stated that it could not be corroborated. But they did so AFTER cnn reported that intelligence officials had briefed POTUS on the docs and that they were pertaining to Trump and Russia.
Buzzfeed was right to publish. Anger should be directed at CNN and the CIA.

That's basically unethical. Get fucked
Levi Myers
okay so maybe this story was a fake but matters here is that i still believe it anyways because thats the kind of stuff trump does i know that because the media told me so you know the same media that published this fake story about trump
Jaxson Peterson
Everyone knows buzzfeed is a side ramp for CNN to test out its edgier pieces and fetch them in if there are any bites. The timing was political, everything in it es either uncorroborated or false. It's a fucking total hit piece, and a shitty one at that. Stay mad.
Lucas Gray
It would be unethical if there was no reason to publish. These docs are old and all the news outlets have had forever.
What changed yesterday? CNN reported on POTUS receiving an intelligence briefing on them and that they were pertaining to Trump and Russia.
If any outlet had these docs and knew that they were likely fake, it is very ethical to publish so the public can see for themselves.
If Buzzfeed had not published this woulda been a fuckhuge thing and more fuel for the batshit crazy left. By publishing, it took everyone a few hours to realize it was fake news.

It was all setup by the CIA. They're the ones who leaked the briefing to CNN. And they're the ones who decided to brief POTUS on very obviously phony documents.
Once those wheels were set in motion it was inevitable.
Lincoln James

>Why the Media Lose to Trump Is this from a serious article? Because that headline is so badly written I lost 2 IQ points from reading it.
Thomas Brooks
It's the CIA's job though. They didn't approach this as some sort of intervention where they demanded trump fess up to his kgb pant and hyper perv status, they were informing him of the sort of nonsense floating in the ether, so he doesn't get caught off guard in an interview or something. Trump is mad at the CIA because of the leaks.

Trump is going to use this episode to simultaneously crush the Russian hacking narrative, the media, intel community and John McCain in one fell swoop.
Thomas Martin
Right, but intel briefings with presidents are very classified. But it was still leaked to CNN, who soulda known better than to report on it, but did so anyway.
At that point it was only a matter of time till someone published all the docs.

Politico is a joke.
We need more Infowars and Young Turks style small scale medias and investigators. Their era of cold antenna is over. Trump should invite university philosophers, political scientist, historians and journalist instead of mainstream media outlets including newspapers.
Ethan Sullivan
I do blame both. CIA and CNN are responsible for this.
Rather than let everyone simmer in more Trump/Russia hysteria, all of the documents were published by Buzzfeed. Nothing hidden, no spin, everything just there for us to see.
That is what we should want.
Nolan Foster
Well, if you pretend for a moment that the docs are vetted and accurate, then you can see it as a form of whistle blowing, not that USA is too keen on whiste blowers, but the point is there would be a moral / ethical impetus to do so. However >if so I dunno what to say. Maybe there's a hardcore liberal in the CIA that could not stomach trump? Or maybe an 11th hour comey revenge thing? I think it's too much of a jump to say it was a CIA plan/op, rather than just some upset member within.

They published and stated they were unverified. But the moment CNN reported on these docs, the public had the right to see them.
Yes, they did everyone a service by publishing. If not, it'd be like all the other Russia/Trump reports. Anonymous reports without evidence.
At least this time we got to see the evidence and how fucking retarded it was.
Luis King
The CIA needs to be purged. It was grossly irresponsible for many of these leaks to occur. Some CIA agents are playing politics and they need to be retired for the intelligence field forever.
Wyatt Diaz
Looks like Buzzfeed was on our side the whole time. Rekt the credibility of the anti-Russian narrative.
Jordan King
How do u do those green meme arroows?
Jeremiah Lopez
Agreed. Not only for them essentially being an unelected political entity right now, but their decades long history of lies, war mongering, torture, and heaps of other vile shit. They're the worst of America imo.
Angel Collins
When an organisation chooses to publish something, they are making a choice about how they view the issue. They can't claim that they were 'just letting people make their mind up' as an excuse to publish unverified and damaging content.
Jaxon Thomas

Julian Collins
I would almost always agree, but think it's different this time because CNN had half assed their reporting to just let everyone know there's more damning Russia/Trump stuff but we're not gonna tell you what.
And it's not like Buzzfeed is some serious political outlet. don't they pretty much just do a bunch of slideshows?
Jaxson Barnes
Fuck off you filthy lying shill
Ethan Gray
Trump already did this without our help. He singled out CNN and Cuckfeed on live television while praising other networks for not doing the same.
Sebastian Lee
Pretty sure he is referring to "lose" and saying it should be "lost".

It's kind of funny seeing how many ways shills bend to try and influence narratives on here. Playing mary middleground but using "strongarm" tactics to make sure it's still a concession made on your terms. Interesting.

It's kind of funny to see the media attempt to circle the wagons around CNN / Buzzfeed yet none of them uttered a single fucking word when Obama publicly held Fox in contempt when he entered into office. Not so great when the shoe is on the other foot, huh?

Impressionable people.
I don't usually post but tonight I might actually take the opportunity to red pill a few of them.

you published it with a tone that indicated you wished it were true, and wanted readers to believe it is true, even though if you thought, even for one second, about the allegations, you'd realize this is an unethical, stupid, and self-destructive decision.
but you were blinded by your white hot rage to destroy anyone who doesn't think the exact way as you do.
you wanted to destory trump.
you published libelous copy, and now you will have to face it in a court of law.

and what reason is that?

so, the fact that the news outlets had a fake, ficticious story written by a 4channer for a period of time had what affect on the trueness of this "dossier" exactly?

Uh...that is because all the toiling Clinton has done is already verified by government documentation and in some cases legal testimony given by herself in various meetings with different agencies.
The difference between the media portrayals of the candidates is simple. Clinton is such a pile of shit they make the piece of corn look good. With Trump, they're taking a whole ear of corn and smearing shit on it to make it look bad.

Landon Green
We will never ever let anybody forget. Fake news is a real problem. The informational robber barons who did this will all be ruined, just wait and see. That's before the lawsuits come in - Trump has hundreds of lawyers, and they've been cataloguing every actionable lie about him for the civil cases. I also expect that they will be BTFO'd by Trump getting on TV and speaking about the Smith-Mundt Act and how it was subverted, which along with allowing a few conglomerates buy up everything made it possible for a handful of people to control and army of liars preying upon the US public.
They're going to fucking to move to Canada after all and bitch about it for generations to come.

It could be that the Queen invokes the Royal Power of Dissolution and dissolves Canada on her deathbed though, that'd be hilarious, always wanted to see a whole country dissolve with the stroke of a pen.
No you're fucked, you had your chance to do Day Of The Rake and failed, it's too late now.
Brayden Reed
so they can just make up thousands of false, defaming reports on anyone, and Buzzfeed will publish them all "for us to see"
Jose Evans
Same, and it's surreal as hell. My suspicion is the terror of realizing the world as they know it is vastly different from what was perceived. People are living a lie, and they've lived it so long they become fake. No self-reflection and over-stimulation is a motherfucker to the mind.

who cares if the buzzfeed report was uncorroborated? it was sandwiched right between an article about the 10 funniest facebook memes and super diet secrets to heat up trans-women's sex lives. buzzfeed is a legitimate journalistic powerhouse.
cnn did nothing wrong by dedicating huge amounts of prime time television broadcasting and web real estate to the buzzfeed release. buzzfeed's credible history of quality journalism mandated that cnn do its job and report the fact that buzzfeed was reporting something.
cnn is a good news outlet just trying to inform the people. cnn di'n do nuffin
