CNN fucked up and reported a lie, but they are refusing to take the lie back and are actually claiming to "reporting the truth."
For those who don't know >CNN reports that an "anonymous source" told them that Cohen has information that Trump knew about Jr's meeting with the Russian lawyer beforehand AND that he is willing to work with Mueller >Cohen's lawyer goes around talking about how that isn't true the day afterwards and how he "wasn't clear" >CNN stands by their "anonymous source," despite the fact that Cohen's lawyer revealed he was their source and that CNN lied in their reporting by claiming that Cohen's lawyer had "no comment" >Multiple news outlets retract their story on the matter >CNN refuses because they "only report the truth"
This might actually kill CNN. They are the originators of the fake news and they are the only ones who still claim it is true, even when their source (who they attempted to hide) says it is not true.
>>CNN reports that an "anonymous source" told them that Cohen has information that Trump knew about Jr's meeting with the Russian lawyer beforehand AND that he is willing to work with Mueller
this he said she said gossip shit is so impenetrable that i absolutely don't give a fuck
>>CNN stands by their "anonymous source," despite the fact that Cohen's lawyer revealed he was their source and that CNN lied in their reporting by claiming that Cohen's lawyer had "no comment" Lie. CNN claims to have multiple sources, not just Cohen's lawyer. cnn.com/2018/08/28/politics/lanny-davis-trump-tower-michael-cohen/index.html >We stand by our story, which had more than one source, and are confident in our reporting of it.
>So, you think CNN is fake news for reporting a lie and attributing it to an anonymous source? >You think it looks bad that CNN is still pretending their anonymous source isn't Cohen's lawyer?! >You think it means anything that CNN is the only news outlet still standing by the report even when their own source says it was a lie?!?!? >WHAT ABOUT SEAN HANNITY TALKING TO TRUMP ON THE PHONE?! GOTTEM!! *dab*
What! Why would the Jew controlled slav shills lie to the children of Jow Forums about a legitimate news source reporting damaging news about (((their guy)))
They said Cohen declined to comment, but he was their anonymous source.
That's literally a lie, friendo. They can hide their source, but don't say someone declined to comment in an attempt to trick people into thinking someone else gave them the info

>They said Cohen declined to comment, but he was their anonymous source. No, CNN says they have multiple sources. >That's literally a lie, friendo. They can hide their source, but don't say someone declined to comment in an attempt to trick people into thinking someone else gave them the info How is it a lie? All CNN is saying is that Cohen claims to have this knowledge. CNN is not saying it's true or not.
They said he declined to comment despite the fact that he did comment. That's a lie.
They are also claiming that this unknown source (which they only claimed after being called out) seemingly knows more than Cohen's own lawyer about what Cohen's plea deal is about. You can't honestly believe this shit, right?

We need to stand as a united Kekistan against this lying, fake news behemoth. It is time to start memeing against their sponsors to force them to cancel their support for CNN to stop the damage. To attack their sponsors is the best way for us to damage CNN.
Kekistan must stand united

>They said he declined to comment despite the fact that he did comment. That's a lie. No it's not. The original story was written on July 27th. Cohen's lawyer did not comment on this before that date.

>They are also claiming that this unknown source (which they only claimed after being called out) seemingly knows more than Cohen's own lawyer about what Cohen's plea deal is about. You can't honestly believe this shit, right? We dont know who this other source is. That doesn't make it fake news.
Lanny Davis was one of CNN's anonymous sources, even they admit this. He commented to them the day they wrote that article; CNN just lied and said he didn't to make sure nobody could figure out he was one of their sources. Unfortunately, for CNN, Davis came out and explained everything himself literally the next day.
Which leads us to CNN claim that they had multiple sources which you say makes the story NOT fake news. Lanny Davis is Cohen's lawyer, and that means he is literally speaking for Cohen. So this other anonymous source must be more reliable when discussing Cohen's intentions than the man hired by Choen himself to represent him in the media and in court...
I don't think you know exactly what you are defending here.

Remember a whole day of accusing Trump of watching a "gorilla channel"?
Or The time they falsely reported that Trump called African nations "shitholes" and acted like they definitely had it on tape, but it was a total made up lie
Or the time they promised on their honor that Hilary has a 95% chance of winning
