libel is illegall, hence why CNN uses "anonymous sources" so the can say they were just mistaken, instead of lying.

FuckYourSafespace

They're not doing anything illegal. Shits still wrong.

It is if it counts as liable/defamation.

No only would he destroy their reputations and those around them, but he would get money out of it too.

Good point.

he is playing them for fools and making it look easy (i'm sure it's not). little bit of justice porn imo. i would only add that this is not republican vs democrat this is sovereignty vs globalism and its happening in every caste, dept, what have you

I believe that Trump's goal is to go down into the history books as a great reformer.

His plan is not just to reform government, but also both political parties.

Hence the insanity that is breaking out right now. Between the emails, pizzagate, and now the wiretapping scandal, this is too much for the media to juggle. This is not counting what will happen next week too.

Once they break, it will be the end of the establishment, everywhere. Trump and friends then get to rebuild the new establishment.

If you are correct, then you know that they will all wait for the first sheep to release the story (getting slaughtered by lawsuits), before pointing to that story in their own news in order to get around lawsuits and the "fake news" label. He's going to have to try harder to bait one of them into taking the first step.

http://redstatewatcher.com/article.asp?id=64040 I don't know how legit this source is, but it appears that they have started making their first move.

The law is very strange in this case. Libel in this incident would mean that Trump would have to prove it is false, and that they distributed the information with the intent to damage his name.

At the same time, they are also a media outlet, so the law also holds them to a higher standard then it would a private citizen.

I really think something is about to go down.

You realize Ted Turner hasn't been in control of CNN since the 90s, right?

Otherwise, it looks like Flynn was being used as a decoy to uncover disloyal officials. By immediately dropping Flynn, it looks like wrongdoing took place. Democrats saw this, smelled blood, and predictably cried out for an investigation. Little did they know that investigation would only be able to uncover the Obama admin appointees responsible.

Hoisted by their own petard? Not yet, the investigation has to happen.

It does look like they have uncovered a disloyal official, and that they have now claimed the misinformation part.

Granted, i do not know how legit this source is. I suspect though that the fake news narrative is about to get very interesting real fast.

This is the same story from the aame source as a few days ago and from the same source as gotnews.

If this is real then the story was killed, but it's more likely gotnews is a baseless rumor mill.

No reason it should have this many upvotes unless shill activity.

senpaithatignoresyou

I am suspecting as much, but it is very hard to tell now.

Why are the shills pushing this then? Are these pro trump shills, or anti trump shills?

Or is this a tabloid that is pushing a guess in the hopes that it will be correct and they get to pretend to be legitimate?

Drenki

They'd be trying to get a people who disagree with their stance on the issue to discredit themselves by gloating about it.

Nice theory OP this is exactly the kind of chess the Trump team has been playing.
