Cnn orders blackout on clinton 'son'

Chomsky said:
"Paternity test: Negative" <-- I'd say that's all we need to know.

I think Drudge has confused Bill Clinton, with Strom Thurmond! :lamo

Odd that Snopes calls it unproven, rather than false.

The perception is that CNN isn't covering this because it involves the Clintons. You claim the story has no basis in fact. How does a news organization determine there is no basis in fact for a story of they don't look into it?

It has been looked into, since it first came up in the 90s. There is no evidence to support the claim.

Get him on Maury. We can find out the results from a DNA test.

I think I would have that done after the election. Till then lady Clinton can act pleased as punch at having a stepson like this one. Trashing the mother would be risky.

You do know that unproven is not the same as not true, right?

I know you can't be asked to prove a negative.

And the burden of proof remains on the accuser.

And I'd say that's a pretty good start.

I agree. It's just curious that CNN would have a black out on the story. Also seems odd that this guy would be trying to push the same story all this time when it would be pretty straightforward to prove or disprove.

The guy's out for money, and his Mom has been at it for decades, so I can't ascertain the voracity of his claim.

I haven't seen the blackout myself (I haven't watched them for two days), but it is pretty apparent CNN has been in Hillary's box this election, which saddens me.

They may also have hit the point where they are not going to cover every GOP opposition story coming down the pike, Wikileaks generated or not.

When I get a chance tonight to tune-in, I'll get a better feel for what their covering & avoiding.

There's nothing to back it up, what's there to look into?

It's not curious that they'd refuse to report something that was ridiculous and completely unfounded, no. God you people have absolutely no standard of evidence when it comes to the Clintons.

I doubt its him pushing it. Its probably trumps people encouraging the guy. Seems like something a simple dna test will ckear up. Curious if bill has agreed to take one or not?

Maybe im jaded but i do believe if the kid was claiming trump was his father they would make it the lead story. Journalstic integrity only seems to apply when it works to their advantage.

Aww, did calling you out on nonsense hurt your feelings? I'm sorry.

Seriously, you don't possess the capacity to hurt my feelings. That would require me to give the faintest of ****s about your opinion, and that's just not even remotely possible. Sorry to ruin your trolling.
