I think this is actually accurate and not of dubious accuracy. Buzz feed did something completely different and sloppy (much like wikileaks)
Lumping them in with buzz feed et al is disingenuous at best, but it is what Trump wants. I think some are being mentally lazy or selective. IDGAF about CNN, and know some don't care about the truth, but it seems to me we are on a slippery slope.
TW, I was referencing the CNN article that you posted.
CNN admits to not corroborating the 35 page report. They wanted Trump to do that for them by detailing the specific items that were not true.
CNN.
Not Buzzfeed or momsbasementblog.com
CNN.
Using their logic, they could simply send a fabricated story to the white house and demand the president tell them how it's not true. This could be done time and again, until the white house refuses to respond. At which point the story would be deemed true because it wasn't denied. In detail. As per the request of CNN.
It's completely bogus and they are showing their contempt and bias and lack of journalistic ethics.
