This message brought to by the 2nd largest fake news outlet in the media!
Their motto: "We're not CNN, but we're damn well trying to outdo them in fake news!"
I don't think so--it was two reporters from the
Washington Post that started and ended Watergate. They take a lot of pride in what they put out--so they verify by 3 qualified sources before it goes into print, because they HATE to retract stories.
You might want to watch "All of the Presidents Men"---
I have to agree with you. Organizations like
The Post don't at all care to run attestations from unnamed sources because it makes for more work for them. They have to obtain additional corroboration for anything they can't attribute to a specific person.
Yeah they're pretty thorough--and I am certain they were accused of being FAKE news all throughout Watergate. They will not reveal their sources--but they make certain their sources are qualified.

To the best of my recollection (I haven't checked to confirm it), the moniker "fake news" is original rhetoric Donald Trump conceived and implemented. If I had to guess, I'd say the idea came to him as an outgrowth of the way things work in so-called reality television where much is staged yet made to seem authentic. Then again, it may be a result of his reading the
National Enquirer, which he has cited and lauded, and that is more interested in selling copy than in accurate reporting.
Well you know it's that "alternate" facts world that he & his supporters live in.
One thing for certain Sean Hannity and all these right wing talk shows are forced again to work OVERTIME this weekend for their programs on Monday.
It should be hillarious as to what they come up with on Monday.
There has never been a President in this nation's history that was so naive and frankly stupid enough to make enemies out of the 3 most powerful agencies in this country. The media, our intelligence agencies and the DOJ.
The more he calls the media FAKE, the more they will write & report. The more he insults our intelligence agencies--by stating Russia is just a "ruse" the more he implicates himself in a coverup and the deeper they will dig.

The more he attacks the DOJ with insults and threats of firing the more they will leak.
Is there anyone confused as to why this story was leaked last night?---
John McCain stated last week after Trump Jr.'s meeting that there will be a lot more shoes to drop. He should have said a torrential rain of shoes dropping.
I guess the White House is now looking up the legal remedies for PARDONS--LOL
