Rosenstein warns Americans to 'exercise caution' about anonymous reports

[shockedcanadian]

I know I've been fairly outspoken about the "anonymous sources" reporting over the last few months, especially when an active witch hunt has been going on.

Seems to be a reference to Washington Post article about a particular investigation. Before you know it, they will join the ranks of other news outlets as "fake news" if they aren't too careful.

Rosenstein warns Americans to 'exercise caution' about anonymous reports

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said Thursday evening that Americans should "exercise caution" before believing anonymously sourced reports, an apparent reference to ongoing leaks surrounding the investigation into alleged connections between Russian officials and President Trump's campaign.

"Americans should exercise caution before accepting as true any stories any stories attributed to anonymous 'officials,'" Rosenstein said in a statement, "particularly when they do not identify the country — let alone the branch or agency of government — with which the alleged sources supposedly are affiliated."

Though Rosenstein's statement did not reference the Russia investigation specifically, it was released hours after the Washington Post reported that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating Jared Kushner — Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law — over his finances and business dealings.

This really is a mess. The zillion various "news" organizations are all looking for a scoop and there has obviously been a ridiculous amount of leaking.

The lefties are fine with this for now, but if it happens when they have more control, we'll see how fine they are with it.

It's getting tougher and tougher to find a silver lining in this toxic environment.

Some of us didn't need his warning to know any MSM news outlet citing 'anonymous sources,' is to be questioned and disbelieved.

Okay. Here's a silver lining. A corrupt crime family that took power against the will of the people is being exposed. That's the silver lining.

Because these people never learn. it's not the action that gets you into trouble, it's the cover up.

 

[JoeB131]

Should also point out that if it weren't for leakers like Mark Felt (aka Deep Throat), we'd have never learned the level of corruption of the Nixon Administration.

And Nixon was a saint compared to Trump.

 

[LoneLaugher]

It all goes to the quality of the reporting agency. The NY Times and the Washington Post don't report news of any kind without verification and secondary sources.

On rare occasions when they have misreported, they issue retractions. That's the way it's done.

The leaks point to a management problem in the White House. Incompetence. Lack of experience.

Yes, i know, the idea of a woman in the White House scared you terribly. You can go change your shorts now.

It sure did...she is one crazy scary biotch. Only brain dead leftists would disagree.

When the Phony President exercises caution with what he says, well, then, we will see.

Here is the book that everyone concerned with how we got "toxic" should read.

That alludes to he knows who it is. I expect leakers to be outed sooner rather than later.

He was basically telling the ******* LIB MSM to stop creating their own narratives based on bullshit fake information.

[JakeStarkey]

Yup, the Trump media outlets are putting out fake news.
