CNN Caught Red-Handed Over Erroneous Trump-WikiLeaks Story #FakeNews

12

The leftist enemedia doesn’t even care about their own reputation or credibility anymore, so unhinged are they in their hate. They will destroy themselves in their mad obsession to destroy Trump — a proxy for Americanism and freedom. They are proving beyond our wildest expectations everything we have been writing about and warning for well over a decade. This is not conspiracy theory. It’s conspiracy fact.

CNN in Hot Water Over Erroneous Trump-WikiLeaks Story

December 9, 2017, Sputnik News:

On Friday, CNN claimed that the Trump team received access to hacked WikiLeaks files before they were made public. But the network made a serious mistake in the reporting, turning a potential bombshell story into a dud.

US President Donald Trump called CNN “fake news” and suggested that the mistake CNN made in its report about alleged collusion between WikiLeaks and his team was “purposeful.”

“Fake News CNN made a vicious and purposeful mistake yesterday. They were caught red handed, just like lonely Brian Ross at ABC News (who should be immediately fired for his ‘mistake’). Watch to see if @CNN fires those responsible, or was it just gross incompetence?” Trump said on Twitter on Saturday.

​In an “exclusive report,” CNN claimed on Friday that an encryption key providing access to hacked DNC emails from WikiLeaks had been sent to Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr. and aides on September 4, 2016, before the leaks were made public.

The whistleblower organization published the documents on September 13, so the nine-day advance would be very significant, taking into account ongoing allegations of collusion between the Trump administration and WikiLeaks. Mainstream media have repeatedly claimed that WikiLeaks is working in the interests of the Russian government.

After the story was published, The Washington Post obtained a copy of the email, which was actually sent to the Trump team on September 14, 2016, not September 4, a day after the documents were made public. A number of conflicting reports from other media outlets also pointed out the mistake.

NN later updated the story with a correction, saying its “initial reporting of the date on an email sent to members of the Trump campaign about WikiLeaks documents, which was confirmed by two sources to CNN, was incorrect.”

“The new information indicates that the communication is less significant than CNN initially reported,” the broadcaster admits.

President Trump also attacked CNN for the wrongful coverage as he attended a rally in Pensacola, Florida, late Friday.

“CNN apologized just a little while ago. They apologized. Oh thank you, CNN, thank you so much,” the president said. “You should have been apologizing for the last two years.”

Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr. took to Twitter to criticize CNN for not fully retracting the story instead of correcting it.

Earlier this week, Trump Jr. spent nearly eight hours testifying in a closed session before members of the House Intelligence Committee about a January 2016 meeting at Trump Tower and his communications with WikiLeaks, as part of an ongoing probe into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election in the US.

WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange and journalist Glenn Greenwald also commented on the situation with CNN.

Even if there was Russia collusion, it’s something everyone in politics has been doing for decades since the end of the Cold War (ask Bernie Sanders, ask Dennis Kucinich. Ask even Republicans like Ron Paul. Ask Hillary!). Digging up dirt on your opponent using international contacts or any source is nothing new.

The only cure for this is to THROW OUT and INVESTIGATE every democrat you can find for the next 2 years!

By now it should be clear to anybody that whatever (and whenever) “enemedia” says anything it is THE LIE and no further proof of that is needed or necessary.

Gross irresponsibility, at the minimum, provable from just the publicly known facts, without having to dig any deeper. Could be much worse of course, just saying 🙂

This morning i heard on CNN Bibi Netanyahu, who is visiting Macron in Paris, say that he takes no “moral lectures” from a man (Erdogan) who drops bombs on kurdish villages, jails innocent journalists, helps Iran to bypass international sanctions and who has dealings with islamic terrorists from all over the world.
“These are not the kind of people we take lessons from”, Netanyahu concluded.
Erdogan had criticized Israel before calling it a “terror-state”.
Thank you Bibi that was all that had to be said!!!!

‘ which basically designated Jews are completely lower intellectual lifeforms’……’but Muslims pretending to be nonMuslims, most likely trying to influence a pro-Islam bias’

Nobel prize list deals with that assertion beautifully.

Jews (less than 0.2% world population) who have won the Nobel prize – 201 = 11250% above average (Wikipedia)

Muslims (approx. 24% world population) who have won the Nobel prize – 12 ( Wikipedia)
