 CNN’s big ‘mistakes’ all run in one direction: anti-Trump

CNN was better off when it devoted round-the-clock coverage to missing planes in black holes and human excrement overflowing on cruise ships. Now the network is just a series of embarrassments.

CNN blared an “exclusive” headline Monday with a story purporting that US intelligence made the decision to “extract” a spy that it had working within the Russian government because officials believed his cover may have been compromised by President Trump having “repeatedly mishandled classified intelligence.”

That dispatch from Jim Sciutto, CNN’s “chief national security correspondent,” would have certainly been a smash if it weren’t for vehement denials by the administration and subsequent reporting that contradicted the crux of the story — that it had been Trump who screwed up the intelligence operation.

During a White House press briefing on Tuesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called CNN’s reporting “materially inaccurate.”

CNN/MSNBC/NYT others, don't care. They don't care if what they say is true or not. They really don't care.

If it is damaging to Trump, or anyone in his administration, or anyone he has ever known since he was born, or any Republican at all really, their motto is REPORT IT AS NEWS FIRST! Let the American people figure out if it is true or not. When you get caught, issue some page 8 non apology, apology, and then keep doing it.

They do this deliberately and with intent. It is a very old propaganda technique. Keep spewing lies and rumors as truth to defame an opponent. Who knows? Maybe you'll get lucky and one of the thousands of lies will turn out to actually be true after all.

The most important thing is to keep the shit throwing firehose on your target full force all the time. At the least it will throw them off balance.

The people who listen to and read this crap are like people who read the National Inquirer. They don't care if what they are reading is actually true. They just crave the drama.
