Once again, the left wing media shoots itself in the foot. It proved that there are few journalists out there. Most of them are hacks- biased democrat operatives pretending to be authentic reporters so determined to visit harm on Donald Trump without regard for the truth. The latest left wing gaffe proved it conclusively.
Buzzfeed, the purveyor of the phony Trump dossier, was at it again. They breathlessly reported that Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie:
President Donald Trump directed his longtime attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, according to two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter.
Trump also supported a plan, set up by Cohen, to visit Russia during the presidential campaign, in order to personally meet President Vladimir Putin and jump-start the tower negotiations. “Make it happen,” the sources said Trump told Cohen.
Trump denied it. Giuliani denied it.
Didn’t matter. The left wing media was not going to concern itself with proof. They were all over it. Led by CNN and MSNBC the hacks spewed “impeachment” two hundred times:
CNN and MSNBC collectively used the word “impeach” nearly 200 times on Friday before the Special Counsel’s office disputed a bombshell report by BuzzFeed News.
According to a Daily Caller review of TV clipping service Grabien, personalities on CNN and MSNBC used the words “Impeach,” “Impeachment,” or “Impeachable,” 179 times.
The review included only original Friday programming and ran up until each network learned that BuzzFeed’s report was in dispute — shortly before 8 pm.
CNN mentioned impeachment 82 times while MSNBC mentioned it a whopping 97 times.
While some anchors and pundits hedged that the BuzzFeed story could only lead to impeachment proceedings “if true,” others repeated the story more uncritically and suggested that the president would be forced to resign and might even face obstruction of justice charges.
MSNBC’s Katy Tur, for example, stated at the top of her show that “Donald Trump is facing the most damming report to date for his presidency. A story that could lead to hisimpeachment.”
Both outlets also interviewed a number of Democratic congresspeople to get their thoughts on the possibility of impeachment of the president. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, for example, spoke to Democratic Rep. Jim Himes about the implications of the BuzzFeed report if it turned out to be verified, while MSNBC host Chris Matthews brought on Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu.
Watch the glee as democrat operatives revel in impeachment dreams:

Then something happened to dampen all the wet dreams. In a highly unusual move, Mueller’s office publicly disputed the report:
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s office is pushing back Friday against a report that claimed President Trump told his attorney Michael Cohen to lie in congressional testimony about his business dealings with Russia.
The new allegations, published by BuzzFeed on Thursday, relied on statements from unnamed federal law enforcement officials.
“BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the Special Counsel’s Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s Congressional testimony are not accurate,” said Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller’s office.
CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin offered a damage assessment:
After Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office disputed a Friday “bombshell” BuzzFeed report, based on anonymous sources, that claimed President Donald Trump ordered his then-personal lawyer Michael Cohen to lie about a proposed Trump Tower project in Russia, CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said BuzzFeed’s disputed story “reinforces” the belief that many Americans have that the media “are a bunch of leftists liars” who are willing to lie to “get” Trump.
“This is a bad day for the news media. Let’s not kid ourselves,” Toobin said on CNN. “The larger message that a lot of 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.”
Toobin said he did not “think that’s true,” but again added that “this is a bad day for us” because “it reinforces every bad stereotype about the media.”
Damn right it did.
24 straight hours of completely uncritical, mindless, hysterical cable news coverage on a story – complete with calls for impeachment – that Muller's office now says was fundamentally false. This has happened over and over in the Trump/Russia story. Why don't people trust media?? https://t.co/6uHRE95bqg

You might think that the red flags would stir some caution and hesitation in the far left media:

But then you would be wrong. Perhaps this could have been a clue:
Cormier on CNN says had not personally seen evidence. Leopold on MSNBC stating he saw documents. Probably should get your guys on the same page here @BuzzFeedBen

Again, no. These are stupid, partisan hacks. This debacle is another in a long line of bullsh*t left wing stories:
1. CNN Accuses Don Jr. Of Wikileaks Collusion
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.
3. The Mooch Is NOT Under Investigation
CNN earns another spot on this list for their shoddy reporting about former Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci. In June, CNN relied on a single unnamed source to claim that Scaramucci was under investigation for a meeting he took with a Russian banker prior to Trump’s inauguration.
The Mooch denied the story and CNN later gave him a much-deserved apology. Oh… and three CNN employees resigned over the botched piece.
4. Bloomberg’s Dirty Deutsche Bank Scoop
Bloomberg initially reported in December that special counsel Robert Mueller had “zeroed in” on Trump by subpoenaing Deutsche Bank records for the incoming-president and his family.
Bloomberg later admitted that Mueller was looking for records relating to “people affiliated” with Trump.
5. Sessions Exonerated
Last May, CNN was sure that Attorney General Jeff Sessions had botched protocol when he didn’t list meetings he had with the Russian ambassador on his security clearance forms. To CNN and other establishment media outlets, this was proof that Sessions was hiding something related to Russia.
A little over six months later, CNN quietly walked back the scandal, explaining the FBI sent emails informing Sessions’ aide that he did not need to disclose the meetings on his forms because they were carried out in the course of his duties as a senator.
6. Russians Aren’t Just Hacking The Election — They’re Hacking Our Power Grid
The Washington Post claimed in January 2017 that Russians were hacking the U.S. power grid through a company in Vermont, only to change the story to say that only one laptop was infiltrated. It turns out that one laptop was never even connected to the power grid.
There are more at the link. Chris Matthews, like a starving rabid dog refusing to let go of the rubber bone, spit this out:
Matthews was perhaps the most eager cable television host to prop up BuzzFeed’s report, even insisting after the Special Counsel’s office’s statement that, “not accurate … it doesn’t mean it’s not true.”
Ari Fleischer catches Helter Skelter Stelter in the act:
Brian Stelter’s reaction to the BuzzFeed debacle: “We need to keep reinforcing to the audience how much smoke there is.” (1:38) That, ladies & gentlemen, is what’s wrong with press coverage on too many issues. Instead of waiting for facts and truth, “smoke” is good enough. https://t.co/qJw19uoXbn

The left wing media is the enemy of the truth, and thus is the enemy of the people.
UPDATE
Speaking of fake news, loud mouth democrats who pounded Trump have gone silent
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
Once again, Trump tells the truth but the media lies. Yet, who does the media always fact-check? Themselves?
I bet the thrill of this one went all the way up Chris Matthew’s leg and up to where his scrotum used to be. The left never learns, never suspects. They cannot resist a single anti-Trump story and never consider how many times they have been made to look stupid and how stupid they looked before they go out parroting their latest rumor as if it were true.
And, I might add, well DUH!
No doubt. People aren’t this consistently stupid without smoking a LOT of something. Can anyone explain WHY an unbaised media would NEED to reinforce the idea that there is a lot of smoke instead of simply reporting the facts as they are? Remind me again why so many people think the media are nothing but a bunch of left wing liars?
Mueller’s BuzzFeed buzzkill is, I think, intended to tone down the excitement and expectations before he releases his report, if he ever does. No doubt there will be some damning “looks like’s” and “probably’s” in it, but for those believing this will be Hillary’s ticket into the Oval Office, it’s going to be a YUGE disappointment.
Once again we see the M.S.Media for what they are a whole bunch of leftists liars and with Buzzfeed,CNN ,NYT’s, as wel as the Hollywood Left and the rest of them circling like Vultures and Sharks and the usial feeding freinzie that follows up like after mass shooting when stupid liberals blame Guns the Gun Lobby and Gun Owners as well as Gun Stores for t he whole thing not metioning anything about the lack of a any parents ecsept to blame them for being to abusive
