Welp.

BuzzFeed’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day just got worse as the New York Times is reporting that the prosecutors in the special counsel’s office are saying that Michale Cohen “never implied that the president had pressured him to lie to Congress”:

“Toast”:

I always thought Buzzfeed was a joke site for teens. When did it suddenly have this journalistic “cred” to begin with? I guess Democraps will prop up any site that prints fake news about Trump.

The lefty media is pretty much out there praising themselves for not repeating the complete lie. As if that's proof of high journalistic standards.

That's like me being proud of myself for not killing anyone today.

Not repeating BuzzFeed's obvious lies does not make you an honest journalist. It just means you weren't caught doing anything as bad as BuzzFeed ... today.

Let me know when the word “allegedly” is back in common use by the DNC Media.

It usually only comes up when Illegal Invaders Murder Police Officers.

... and there was a time ... or maybe there never was ... when you didn't have to modify the word 'journalism' by preceding it with 'honest.'

In a world without the MSM, and originally, the modifier would be redundant.

You're either a journalist, or you're not. The left has no journalists. To say the left has no 'honest' journalists is like the saying the desert has no wet water. But alas, today we must call water wet to be clear what we mean, so has the left destroyed truth and mangled the language such that nothing means what it originally meant and most words don't mean anything, or they mean 10 things, depending on how you feel or identify, which amounts to the same thing. For example, there was a time with the verb 'identify' took an object. Now it's reflexive-ish, and that didn't happen on its own, kids.

They are propagandists, not journalists.

But wait there is MORE..The Washington Compost decided to be an actual newspaper tonight with actual TRUTH for once: Ryan Saavedra ‏Verified account @RealSaavedra 3m3 minutes ago BREAKING: The Washington Post reports that Mueller’s statement about BuzzFeed's report is aimed at the entire report, "to make clear that none of those statements in the story are accurate."

So, the WaPo and the NY Times are calling out Buzzfeed for reporting false information!?

Has the word irony been scrubbed from the English language?

Lol. When Muller’s team and WaPo calls you fake news. The leftists will still think BuzzFeed is a reliable source of news despite this and say that WaPo was influenced by the Russians.

New York Slimes journalist Satchel Ronan Farrow (his given name was in honor of black major league baseball pitcher, Satchel Paige) was born in 1987 in NYC to film actress Mia Farrow ("Rosemary's Baby") and her husband, film-maker/actor Woody Allen.

In 2013, Mia raised speculation that her ex-husband, crooner Frank Sinatra, could have been Ronan's biological father.

There has never been mention over the decades of any DNA testing by Ronan in order to clear up the question.

Do you really think they are caught? (I am referencing the tweet). I predict semi-retarded Democrats will be on the floor monday calling for Trump to step down based on this revelation. And 99% of their followers will reject the Mueller’s contradiction, insisting the claims are factual.
