Well well well, CNN yet again busted as the premier fake news outlet, literally. You just can't make this **** up.

CNN's Undisclosed Ties To Fusion GPS | The Daily Caller
CNN’s reporting on the dossier, led by justice correspondent Evan Perez, has been favorable to the firm, Fusion GPS, and hyped the dossier’s credibility. Left out of Perez’s reporting, which has relied largely on unnamed sources, is his personal closeness to Fusion GPS’ operatives. Fusion has repeatedly been described in Senate testimonies as a smear-for-hire operation that manufactures misleading or false media narratives for its clients.

Glenn Simpson, the Fusion co-founder most often associated with the dossier, is used to working on stories with Perez. As reporters at The Wall Street Journal, Perez and Simpson regularly co-authored stories on national security.

Another Fusion founder, Tom Catan, worked as a reporter for the Journal at the same time as Perez and Simpson. The third Fusion co-founder, Peter Fritsch, worked above Perez and Simpson as the senior national security editor.

Simpson and Fritsch left the WSJ in 2011 to launch Fusion. Perez jumped from the paper to CNN in 2013. Another longtime Journal reporter, Neil King, left the paper to join Fusion in December 2016.

Don't you see a smear piece when you read it?

Let's take the first person that they mention, Evan Perez. They say that he has "personal closeness to Fusion GPS’ operatives," how so? Perez, Glenn Simpson and Tom Catan, now of Fusion, used to work for the Wall Street Journal. So did a lot of journalists.

So, "close personal ties" to CNN and Fusion revolve around one reporter who worked at the Wall Street Journal with people who now are at Fusion more than five years ago.

You people will buy any crap if it confirms your pre-existing beliefs.

Try reading the article. You only look foolish with your statements.

I did read it. It's nothing but innuendo. The underlying presumption is that a reporter can't write a factual article if they know or have ever known the people who are in the article. Yet, I am sure you will give a pass to Fox and Bretbart writers who maintain close ties to Republican Congressman, Senators and members in the White House.
 
More from William Shakespeare .....
his fine play MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

just more diversionary crap along the same lines as unmasking, they tapped my phones, and the other crap of the week that soon died an ugly death.
 
Are we supposed to believe that the far right of center, Daily Caller, is an unbiased news source?

Ditto that above is truth. But Conservatives are the real purveyors of fake news.....the Carnival barkers of the egg shell news game :lamo
 
One Conservative says it and they all say it....the Republican party should change their mascot from a Elephant to a parrot.

When the Daily Caller adopts the journalist standards of CNN, talk to us.

So go ahead and refute the article. Should be easy if they are just right-wing hacks, right? Go ahead.

I couldn't care less about the article. We are all about Trump and his cabal and any mention of Hillary is just another feeble attempt to defect from the massive problems in this administration.

I sure as hell hope not, CNN has become worthless in it's bias; not even bothering to hide it anymore. First it isn't journalism, and second there are no standards.

To your kind, CNN and MSNBC are always biased, but never Fox or the other right wing outlets. Correct?
 
They originated from the prosecutors employed by the special prosecutor, with more yet to come.
 
What is real is that the Trump campaign wanted help from the Russians.....Don Jr released his own emails which stated "He loved the idea" is that CNN fake news....Lets just say this Mueller is one excellent investigator and prosecutor. This is the big leagues my friend. And if reports are accurate and Papadopoulos has worn a wire for the last three months.....than the sphincters of several Trump officials are so tight that they are crapping angel hair pasta

Fox is the only right-wing large scale news outlet. You go ahead an hang your hat on CNN, NBC and CBS; they've only had egg on their faces more than anyone else. I love watching Sanders basically punch Acosta in the face everyday.

Lame article from a lame propaganda source.

Fail
 
Alex Jones....I will tell you this ...if any person told me they watch that clown...I would spit on them.
 
Fox lies to the American people more that every single MSM member combined.

Yes we know liberals don't care about actual collusion, and impropriety. But thanks for the confirmation.
