BuzzFeed News’ latest disputed report about former Trump attorney Michael Cohen is just the latest in a long line of Russia “bombshells” that turned out to be anything but.
We’ve compiled a list of some of the worst media screwups when it comes to Russia.

Last December, CNN’s Manu Raju reported that Wikileaks emailed Donald Trump Jr. to give him access to stolen documents a full ten days before they were released to the public.
Unfortunately for CNN, it turns out their sources gave them the wrong date. Don Jr. actually received an email with access to the stolen docs on Sept. 14, 2016, after they had already been released publicly.
2. ABC Tanks Stock Market With Fake Flynn News
ABC was forced to suspend Brian Ross after he falsely reported that former national security adviser Michael Flynn was prepared to testify that then-candidate Donald Trump ordered him to make contact with the Russians.
The stock market dropped a few hundred points at the news — but it turned out to be fake.
ABC clarified that Flynn was actually prepared to testify that Trump asked him to contact Russia while the administration was transitioning into office. Pretty standard preparation for an incoming president.

Apparently a BOMBSHELL isn’t what they think it is.
CNN's Jeffrey Toobin on BuzzFeed: "People are going to take from this story is that the news media are a bunch of leftist liars who are dying to get the president, and they're willing to lie to do it...I just think this is a bad day for us"
____
"Everyday is a bad day when you have bad journalism and it has been bad for quite some time. Journalists and editors no longer seek proof, only confirmation bias, Toobin et al is no better."
______
"One of the mystery of our times is that a media in a struggle with a president who constantly belittles and discredits it seems so determined to do his work for him -- Rich Lowry
_____
"The Special Counsel has spoken. Good. Now, let’s ask . . . Why did BuzzFeed feel confident enough to run its report? We need answers." -- David French
____
"So, it was either "Buzzfeed is trash" or "Trump is in deep shit." As always, Trump emerges unscathed. "Buzzfeed is trash" wins." -- Alex Behzade
