Mueller warns many news reports are wrong.

I found out who the spokesperson was. It's Peter Carr, but I had to go through four stories to get there. And nobody cited the rawstory story. Not like you care though. If it celebrates your anti-media agenda you'll cheer it on, regardless of shoddy reporting.

Well, good work. So now that you have a named source, you are satisfied that the story is accurate, right?

All you have left is to cry about me. Okay.

Further, they defend "anonymous source/close to the investigation/familiar with the investigation/2nd cousin's neighbor who knows a guy who knows a guy" as SOP for the MSM, and take those stories as gospel.

conservative anonymous sources are routinely wrong. MSM anonymous sources are routinely accurate and actually close to the story. Have been for decades. Whereas conservative anonymous sources tend to be the voices in pundits' heads. Remember the secret society of FBI agents? Seth Rich's death by DNC? Obama BC? Pizzagate? sharyl attkisson being hacked? Wikileaks DNC Info dump that was going to bring down the Democratic Party? Bill O'Reilly's truth bomb that would destroy his accusers? I could go on, but maybe you will start to realize how often insane these things are that are reported by the conservative media.

The "secret society" thing was started by an anti-Trumper associated with the FBI...not by any "conservative anonymous sources".

See, what a SPOKESPERSON said was:



But what I think you heard was:

"It's all fake news, our investigation is a liberal deep state ruse and we've got nothing."

He's right that many of the things people on the internet speculate are dead wrong, but he's still continuing his investigation and continues to bring charges against Trump campaign and administration officials. I can tell you're starting to get nervous and desperate though.

Let me ask you this, if he's got nothing where are all these charges coming from?

Would love a citation on the meta data that supports this claim.
 
Mycroft said:
You didn't read the article, did you? The story was reported by the Daily Caller and independently verified by the Washington Times. Try to get it right, eh?

What I find amusing is that you'll believe a story attributed to an anonymous source "who has knowledge...blah, blah, blah", but you won't believe a story attributed to a Mueller spokesperson.

This is hypocritical hackishness.

Of course they could just be talking about all the reports from conservative "news" sources claiming its all deep state conspiracy.

There are "many".

I did read the story. DC is a conservative outlet same as Washington Times.

An anonymous Mueller spokesperson. Which I could call myself that...

But let's be honest - do you really expect any LW publication to cast the slightest doubt on Sir Robert's righteous quest to slay the evil Trump monster? You know the old joke about Trump out for a sail sees a man drowning. So it steps over the side of his yacht, walks over to the man and drags him back to the boat. Next day RW media reports "Trump miraculously saves man from drowning". LW media: "Trump can't swim".

I just listed a bunch of stories con-media reported on sometimes for weeks and all of them have been debunked. Tell me which anonymous sourced stories from MSM are wrong?

What? Why would he have nothing, he's already brought criminal charges against 13 Russians and 7 Trump associates. Where are you getting this "nothing" bit? Your fantasies?
 
Praxas said:
They made no such claim, that is just you reading what you want. The point being is there are a LOT of things flying around right now that the media most likely doesn't have right on both sides.
Click to expand...

Seeing how there's been no official confirmation that Cohen went to Prague, that's pretty much what he said.

There's a thread here that claims the "Steele Dossier got it right again", which isn't accurate, because there's no confirmation that the dossier got that right.

And none of them have anything to do with Russiagate.

Yes those are the charges I was referring to.
And there are many, many more to come.

People keep forgetting, ( or pretending it has not happened) that at least two people involved as communicators between Russia and the trump campaign have flipped and are working with Mueller.

Except the spokesman didn't say that.

Too bad, eh?

According to unnamed sources, right?

LOL!!

13 Russian hackers have nothing to do with Russiagate? Okay...

Do you realize how deep Mueller is at this point if he was able to identify 13 Russian government hackers by name?

Are you delusional enough to believe that trump and company are better at espionage than Putins crew?

Don't forget Comey and all is supposition, his "I think", "I suppose", " I assume", "I don't know for sure". His word seems to be gospel.

I would love to see them tried in an American court, so I could LOL after the case was dismissed on 1st Amendment grounds.

That being said, "Russiagate" is the investigation to determine if President Trump was involved with the Russians. That investigation is effectively over and now they're hunting for anything else they can find. They found a couple things, maybe, that have zilch to do with President Trump.

The whole point of Mueller pointing out thar many of the stories are wrong is way of letting you all down easy, because he's fixing to close the case and President Trump is still going to be The President of The United States.

Do you have a credible link? Or, is that one of the many stories that Mueller says are wrong?

Comey is a consummate player and political operator. He's sly and knows all he need to do is put that speculation and unproven events out into the ether, and by virtue of people not exercising a modicum of critical thinking skills, they will accept them as true.

Comey could have given Goebbels a good run for his money.
