Trump Blasts Publication Of Unverified Russia Claims As ‘Fake News’ (Of course he did)

The president-elect called BuzzFeed a “failing pile of garbage” and refused to take a CNN reporter’s question.

NEW YORK ― President-elect Donald Trump repeatedly called out the publication of unverified allegations that he has ties to Russia as “fake news” during Wednesday’s press conference, his first in nearly six months

CNN could have defended themselves without throwing Buzzfeed under the bus.

They didn't. What Buzzfeed did was unprofessional.

I stand by my original comment. They could have easily explained their decision without contrasting it with Buzzfeed's.

Not really because Trump was acting like they were the ones who published the memo

The responses to this story are almost more entertaining to me than the story itself. I love this article: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jan/11/kremlin-ridicules-claims-collected-material-donald-trump A former FSB boss denying that kompromat even exists as a concept is priceless. "We don’t have such a practice in Russia". It's giving me flashbacks to Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf during the Iraq War

Except for only the fake video leaked. There is no evidence Ford was smoking crack and not a cigarette. That alone shows people believe in what they want to believe.

“It’s frankly outrageous and highly irresponsible for a left-wing blog openly hostile to the president-elect’s campaign to drop highly salacious and flat-out false information on the internet just days before he takes the oath of office,” Spicer said.

Lol, Trump was asking Russia to hack and release Clinton's emails weeks before the election. So sick of these people. They're legit sociopaths.

The Donald is shook.
The BBC is doing some very interesting reporting on this whole story
