While this is serious and they should know better. The right seem to be suffering from amnesia as this was par for the course during the Obama years . Where there was not an anti Obama story or anti Obama conspiracy they would no publish or promote .And even Trump himself has promoted fake stories and conspiracies . So no Trump and his cronies don't get to be high and mighty now .
Who made these Obama stories? Fox News? Rush Limbaugh? If you want to admit that CNN is on the same level as these, then you're correct that this shouldn't be a big deal. The difference is that you guys want to think that CNN is on a higher level of credibility than the others. In that case, yes, this is newsworthy.
CNN fired the two reporters that put out inaccurate stories. If Trump is about "honesty" *BULLSHIT* then the fuckface should fire himself.
Here is what you are not getting. It is up to journalists, NOT PUNDITS, but ALL journalists and their bosses to police the journalists and each other. It is not the job of a head of state to vilify people whose job it is to be the watchdog of government.
You'd have a defense for Trump if it were one "gaff"or one target, but that asshole spent 5 years vilifying Obama, then Hillary, but also Mexicans, and Muslims and attacked the service of TWO service people, and then vilified 17 intel agencies on top of media.
This is not normal nor should it be given the excuse you are trying to make. Trump's behavior is dangerous to the stability of the nation and a danger to global stability.
When media gets things wrong, it is up to other media and up to the public. Vilifying media in that position of power is toxic. It is the playbook of despots. If you think it is ok for a head of state to vilify media move to North Korea.

Even a broken clock can tell time once is a blue moon James O'Keefe. Is shit stain on the under pants of humanity he's, lies, fabricated, Mislead , More then Fox and CNN combined. And the loss of funding was to Acorn was PR because of the abuse of a few employees which he exaggerated. And need I mention all legit people who suffered for it.
And watch him lie again in this latest video
https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle...f368cb3702
Note
The journalist questioned is not a political journalist nor is there any indication he has any inside knowledge .
It is true the Washington post is wrong that they do mention Atlanta .But that's just the point he is not based anywhere were political centers of CNN
Yes it's true he is a senior administrator (The article never said he was not) thou it's irrelevant . He's based in the wrong place and has the wrong credentials .
And CNN clearly is not worried as the stated this seems to just be his opinion. And yes that's what the video shows an opinion . Bring out some memo's then well talk.
As for the Russian scandal there is all that plus all the, lying ,contradicting , Defensiveness, from Trump and his cronies . And need I mention the story that got the 3 employees fired has not been shown false. It just didn't follow typical journalistic standards . Which is ironic as dear James breaks every rule in the journalist ethics book.

How many intelligence agencies?
It's pretty funny that you're repeating fake news as you criticize Trump for calling out fake news.

Trump is documented to have lashed out at the intelligence community (weather or not they have accused him of direct involvement in the Russian scandal or not )

You mean the ACORN video that gave Republitraitors an excuse to cut ACORN funding, but which later turned out to be a deliberate set up, right?

Like I said, I believed what the video supposedly "uncovered" long before it came out. If it's completely fabricated I'd still believe it. Because, like I said, the narrative that Trump colluded with Russia currently has no basis in fact.

"You guys"
To me CNN lost their credibility in their election coverage. Their obvious pro-Hillary (and anti-Sanders) agenda plus the way they handled Wikileaks ("its illegal for you viewers to look at the leaks yourself so the only way you can hear or see what they're about is through us")
But at the same time, just because CNN reports something does not automatically make it fake news like so many Trump supporters believe.
Gotta love that nothing burger with Trump Russia collusion. CNN is fake news Trump wasn't lying when he called them out. CNN is anti progressive
hell all media is anti progressive and no one trusts them. Rachel Maddow is a sold out hack and someone who gotten tricked by 4chan. And all those
supposed sources they have are complete bullshit. But at the same time they do report on real news i won't cut them down because i still watch them
there is are stories i will go back on and get a second unbiased view point of it.
