Yes. Hit pieces on conservatives only need an anonymous, unattributed source.

On the other hand, unfavorable stories about Dems, even if attributed to a source, must then be "verified" but only to the satisfaction of CNN, which never quite seems satisfied.

Last week, the New York Post published a dubious story...The series of stories contained hacked materials...As CNN’s Chief Media Correspondent Brian Stelter noted on “Reliable Sources” Sunday, “We are not talking about fully reliable sources here...(Giuliani incidentally has openly coordinated with a known Russian agent to promote disinformation about the Bidens.) ...CNN hasn’t been able to authenticate emails ...The story is a “manufactured scandal,” Stelter said, meant to feed “whataboutism” — an opportunity for the right-wing media to shift the conversation from Trump’s record to Biden’s.


What is ‘dubious’? Hunter B getting $50K/mo for his expertise on Ukrainian Gas companies seems a bit dubious to me.

Nothing has been claimed to have been ‘hacked’. A hard drive was found and duplicated, that’s not hacked.

They call sources not being ‘fully reliable’. Yet there are names and links from the computer repairman to Giuliani to the NYP. A bit more solid than the Atlantic’s story about Trump disrespecting fallen soldier.

CNN hasn’t been able to authenticate and yet they haven’t been able to prove them false either. In fact no one is claiming what’s been released is false.

No one is supposed to talk about Biden’s record or lack thereof. Forty-seven years in government and he and his family have become rich—but talking about it is a ‘manufactured scandal’ not a real one.

And how about CNN’s ‘Chief Media Correspondent’ objectivity and neutrality as a reporter as opposed to an editorialist?

“CNN hasn’t been able to authenticate emails...”

Because they haven’t tried.

Stelter looks suspiciously like George Carstanza’s love child.

@RudyGiuliani
The Hunter Biden hard drive is authenticated by:

The NY Post,

My attorney Bob Costello

A receipt SIGNED BY HUNTER BIDEN.

It’s also been authenticated by Biden’s attorney who called the merchant a day before it appeared and asked for Hunter Biden’s computer.

Yet nobody, anywhere has claimed the information is fabricated.

But it’s sure “dubious”.

A potato could spot Stelter 20 points and still have a higher IQ.

They don’t care about substance, only about that the people they hate came into possession of the substance.

Aholes.

Is Alexis Benveniste related to Watergate prosectuor and Clinton ally Richard Ben-Veniste, who helped lead Al Gore’s recount effort in Florida in the 2000 election and was recently CNN’s legal analyst?
