well if you want actual #fakenews from buzzfeed 2.0 look no further than the 'russian dossier' they helped peddle along with their journalistic mentors Buzzfeed:

when they have to explain why 'we are not buzzfeed'



from tweets to real attempts at news its fail on all levels

We've already been over that one.

You have yet to mention anything inaccurate about CNN's reporting on that. Nuance is tough... well actually it isn't for those of us not in the Trump cult.

unsubstantiated report leading to cnn aka buzzfeed 2.0 having to explain why they're not buzzfeed is pretty bad. go back to (c)linton in a landslide land, you were much happier there

CNN never published the Buzzfeed documents. They simply reported that the intelligence report on the Russian hacking presented to Trump/Obama included a couple pages of possible blackmail material on Trump, which was personal and financial in nature. That's all it was, but idiots like yourself don't have the mental capacity to critically evaluate information that doesn't benefit Trump.

And reported on the buzzfeed allegations, did not properly vet them to understand the phony context, and linked to buzzfeed, something none of the actual credible publications were willing to do and rebuked CNN for doing so.
Journalists have a responsibility to critically evaluate information for their audience and vet it before publishing, rather than dredging every baseless allegation and telling people to "decide for themselves" like a reptilian overlord conspiracy theorist

they talked about the 'russian dossier' bringing massive amounts of attention to it, but didn't "report" on it nor did they seek to verify anything. see no one likes that arrogant double-speak that RINOs like you and liberals spew out of your mouth talking down to people with your massive unwarranted self-importance, and wonder why President Trump won the election.
(c)linton in a landside hypocrite drone calling others idiots, priceless sorry that your favorite publication buzzfeed 2.0 got caught trying to 'report' like their mentors buzzfeed.

e: reported, btw

I didn't go to school for journalism, but I don't see why providing some more context is a bad thing. These allegations were circulating in Washington for months, something those of us outside the bubble aren't privy to. CNN made it abundantly clear what information was out there and what information they could not verify. The main point of their report was that Trump was presented information on possible blackmail material. Plus, intelligence sources have corroborated some aspects of the Russian dossier.



The main point of their article was that Trump and Obama were briefed on the possible blackmail material. CNN shouldn't be blamed when idiots(much like yourself) don't critically evaluate a report and take it to mean something it never said.

They never published the allegations as true. In fact they explicitly mentioned that they were unsubstantiated.
