Trump's Double Standard On Anonymous "Unnamed" Sources

[Lakhota]

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump unloaded on the news media Friday for using anonymous sources — just hours after members of his own staff insisted on briefing reporters only on condition their names be concealed.

Unleashing a line of attack that energized an enthusiastic crowd at the nation's largest gathering of conservative activists, Trump said unethical reporters "make up stories and make up sources."

"They shouldn't be allowed to use sources unless they use somebody's name," he declared. "Let their name be put out there."

Trump told the Conservative Political Action Conference that while not all reporters are bad, the "fake news" crowd "doesn't represent the people. It will never represent the people and we're going to do something about it."

Trump didn't expand on what he had in mind or which news organizations he was talking about. But his broadsides represented an escalation of his running battle against the press, which he has taken to calling "the opposition party."

The president has chafed at a number of anonymously sourced stories, including numerous reports describing contacts between his campaign advisers and Russian intelligence agents, which the White House has sharply disputed.

However, members of his White House team regularly demand anonymity when talking to reporters. That was the case Friday morning when Trump officials briefed reporters on chief of staff Reince Priebus' contact with top FBI officials concerning the Russia reports.

Trump's hypocrisy is unparalleled. He routinely accuses others of what he is guilty of. With RussiaGate haunting the White House - no wonder he is desperately trying to discredit and suppress the media. Apparently several intelligence agencies are also watching the FBI's Trump/Russia investigation to make sure it stays on track.

Yes it does, you lost 1,000 elected seats, the White House, The Senate, the House of Representatives, and the Supreme Court for a generation. I'd suggest you libtardos stop making asses of yourselves for a couple decades.

Sounds like a conspiracy to me.......(snicker)

You and your fellow SJW snowflakes are really struggling with the fact that the child trafficking pile of shit wasn't allowed to steal the election.

The constant media obsession and negative coverage over Trump shows it's hardly suppressed.

Yeah, it's really caving in all around him. The media has always relied on unnamed sources to report. That's their job. But it doesn't mean that they're sources are making anything up either. They have to be credible, they have to be in the know, because there's nothing worse than the media having to "retract" a story which they are required to do. So the media will use reliable sources.

This is just Trump's attempt at controlling the media and what they report. It's not going to work, those phone records NEVER go away, and they are a matter of FACT.

The more he attacks the more leaks, the more the media reports. Any moron knows better than to make enemies with 17 different intelligence agencies and the media--LOL

"They shouldn't be allowed to use sources unless they use somebody's name. Let their name be put out there."

Ha.ha. he sure didn't mind knowing who the sources were when it came to all the leaks about the DNC and Hillary Clinton. Then he was praising them. And he continually denied that Russia was doing it. Obviously he was lying through his teeth all along about that.

Donald Trump masqueraded as publicist to brag about himself

Why, you guys forgot it for 8 years, enjoy your new president. LMAO

I mean, he watches TV, doesn't understand what he's watching, then uses it as an unnamed source. Total hypocrite and he doesn't know why people often don't name sources.

Barrypuppet's birth certificate has been proven to be a badly done forgery....FACT
My named source told me that the "white hats" working within the alphabet agencies stopped the Hildebeast and the "black hats" from stealing the election via the hacking of electronic voting machines. The lamestreaqm media is a joke and has been for a long time ands they are pissed that they can't control Trump. Trump doesn't need the Operation Mockingbird media that works for the Deep State.

No that's not a fact, that's a lie. Obama was born in Hawaii, end of discussion. It's a real certified birth certificate. Trump lies every single day about something. It's only works on stupid people, who don't know jack shit.

He might have been born in Hawaii but his birth certificate was a forgery. Both of his parents were American citizens.... Frank Marshall Davis, a card carrying communist and Barry's slut momma, Ann Dunham. I don't give a shit where he was born but he lied his ass off and he is a conniving slice of commie shit...which is why I suspect that you "dig on" the jug-eared mulatto that is a queer with a transgendered mate in "Manchelle" i.e Michael.......

 

[Lakhota]

Trump is such a transparent hypocrite.

 

[Lakhota]

Trump likes to dish it out - but he can't take it.

 

[whitehall]

I don't see a connection between leaks to the media which are clearly a criminal act and whatever it is that the crazy left is trying to use as a comparison.
