[W:120]Mueller's office disputes BuzzFeed report that Trump directed Cohen to lie to Congress

Re: Mueller Debunks Buzzfeed Story

Hey Poliscixtina!! Happy New Year

another posted made comment that when the Reports state that the source is in relation to the Special Council or its completed portion of investigation then they provide a correction. Many of the OUTSIDE Reports from other entities do not indicate relations to the special council.

Makes sense to me, that someone is saying its coming from them and they clarify its NOT. So its from an unnamed unreliable source....

Ah ok! Thanks. Happy New Year, Exactice!

Re: Mueller Debunks Buzzfeed Story

The moronic idiot democrats in the house were getting ready to start another investigation over this buzzfeed report.
so yea he had to do something to put the kabosh on it.

Well I still think they could benefit to start an investigation anyway. I think they were planning to way before this report even came out.

Re: Mueller Debunks Buzzfeed Story

They're not denying it completely, just saying it's not accurate. So now we have to wonder what the truth is precisely. Major blunder for Buzzfeed. :shock:

So it could be WORSE. Lawyer speak is tricky. I noticed they said "inaccurate" as opposed to "false".

We'll see soon enough.
 
Re: Mueller Debunks Buzzfeed Story

Lol. So true. And it’s kinda funny all the trumpettes are acting like mueller exonerated trump or something. Comical. We are still in the same place we were yesterday, which is that we don’t know what Mueller’s report will produce.

I dont recall us stating it exonerated Trump. But it does place more doubt and obscurity in the minds of the accusation. What is REAL and what is NOT. HOW does SOMETHING like this GET published and within 24hour gets blown to pieces.

There is ZERO consequence for publisher to do crap like this and the only consolation is to blast them when they are caught........ This Trend in GENERAL regardless who is President is NOT healthy PERIOD... Its sad, destructive and unproductive.
 
Re: Mueller Debunks Buzzfeed Story

So these misfits are conceding... How interesting.
How about they divulge the names of sources now....

I think we need to have a special investigation if Buzzfeed refuses to cooperate.

Worked out so well for you the last time you went after sources....

You might get further if you bash your head against the wall

BREAKING: Spokesman for Special Counsel's Office - "BuzzFeed's description of specific statements to the Special Counsel's Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen's Congressional testimony are not accurate."



Some of you might remember this headline yesterday by Buzzfeed:

Buzzfeed Claims Mueller Has Proof Trump Suborned Perjury

Well, I guess the mods can now close a whole bunch of useless threads.

LOL!!
 
Re: Mueller Debunks Buzzfeed Story

He couldn't allow Congress to shoot themselves in the foot. They were going to start an investigation, based on the Buzzfeed report. :lamo

Yeah they were are all in a twitter, they couldn't wait to get the investigation started. They now thought they finally had Trump.
 
Re: Mueller Debunks Buzzfeed Story

If you can't figure it out, not sure explaining it will help you.

So you can't justify the comment?
Figures.





If they're not credible investigators, and are dishonest leakers, then why should this statement from them be believed?
WTF are you talking about?


The premise was of those who believe "Mueller's investigation a witch hunt or called Mueller crooked or something similar but now believe Mueller's spokesperson".

The two do not equate or relate.
Mueller can certainly be crooked and the investigation can certainly be a witch-hunt while the spokesperson be making an accurate statement.
Or did you not realize that?
The person's commentary was foolish nonsense.

Oh...for sure...that was the plan of the anti-Trumpers in the House.

Doesn't matter if this is true or not, they just wanted something with enough innuendo and speculation to mount a committee investigation. More grist for the impeachment mill.

Unfortunately, the guy they were counting on for help...Mueller...just slapped that notion out of their heads.

Well it seemed like certain posters were getting way too giddy. We still don’t know anything! Plus mueller is not denying the entire story, just the specifics and accuracy. So who really knows, huh lol. We can continue to stay in the dark together! I’ll never read another buzz feed article again but I never read them anyway so not much loss for me. But yeah, completely disappointing, they should have not run this story and I know many posters including myself were very hesitant to believe it.

The House Democrats probably have a major case of blue balls right about now.
 
Re: Mueller Debunks Buzzfeed Story

But Buzzfeed told me that Trump was literally 5 seconds away from impeachment. What happened?
 
Re: Mueller Debunks Buzzfeed Story

Yes it is both. it is a tabloid whacktard site.

Overall, we rate Buzzfeed Left-Center Biased due to story selection that tends to favor the left and Mixed for factual reporting based on poor sourcing and a few failed fact checks

they are basically a lib trash site similar to daily kos or mediamatters.

Good analysis... if so, how come the lib's fav. sources, CNN, MSNBC, The NY Times, the WA Post, and many more went with it?
When are "reputable news bureaus" going to stop acting like this is real news and start asking for the names of the sources.
Those that don't are complicit in passing off fake news if they don't question the original news site's report and sources.
 
Re: Mueller Debunks Buzzfeed Story

Your idiotic chart has CNN and the New York Times exactly center.


Do you really want to peddle that nonsense?

It has NYT and CNN slightly left center. However, the crux of good news reporting is not so much whether they are left or right, but whether there is a commitment to factual integrity and in-depth analysis. On the latter, the Times in top shelf.

I like Mediabiasfactcheck.com, which will show the NYT as generally left and is more critical of CNN (and FOX)

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/new-york-times/

"....Overall, we rate the New York Times Left-Center biased based on word and story selection that moderately favors the left, but highly factual and considered one of the most reliable sources for information due to proper sourcing and well respected journalists/editors. ..."

And a point I just saw made, Trump has threatened witnesses over this via Twitter, which is also impeachable.

How did mueller slap that notion? I don’t see it that way at all. If the Dems wanna investigate they have the power to now do so. I say go for it. I was for every investigation into Hillary and I’m for every investigation into trump.

No, I'm saying if you can figure it out on your own, perhaps you're not intelligent enough to understand.

I'm so glad I was one of the only liberals on here that tried to caution everyone about this.

Not until the evidence is produced.

The media have been way too trigger happy to try and break bombshells, and it has led to many stories being embarrassingly retracted, so let's wait for confirmation.

But, if it is true, it's the beginning of the end.

People simply refuse to wait for Mueller's report, and this is what happens when you take the word of backwater tabloids that have little to lose by issuing outright fabrications.

Ever hopeful liberals.


Do you honestly believe Mueller's team would go to the extraordinary lengths to refute the article if it didn't have to do with the heart of the matter?


You honestly believe they would have done this to correct some trivial inaccurracy?
 
Re: Mueller Debunks Buzzfeed Story

Got it!
You are again acknowledging that you can not support what you say.

Your comment in question was nothing more than foolish nonsense. There is no relation between the two.
