USMB conservatives cite the NYT as source for Trump-Tower wiretap claim. Three fact-checkers debunk

[tinydancer]

Let's see what was in that NYT article. Yuppers. Busted. AND they even claim in the article that the conversations were shared by the White House.


"The F.B.I. is leading the investigations, aided by the National Security Agency, the C.I.A. and the Treasury Department’s financial crimes unit.

The investigators have accelerated their efforts in recent weeks but have found no conclusive evidence of wrongdoing, the officials said.

One official said intelligence reports based on some of the wiretapped communications had been provided to the White House."

It wasn't just in the headlines.

New York Times January Wiretapping Headline Goes Viral

 

[tinydancer]

If you frequent this board you may have read more than one Trump supporter claim that the Trump Tower wiretap claim made by Donald Trump is true because the New York Times said so in an article.
As pointed out by liberals in this board, the independent fact-checking website Politifact just noted that USMB conservatives are full of it. Link

The Washington Post fact-checked this BS too: About that N.Y. Times wiretapping piece: Trump has it wrong

Also, factcheck.org weighs in: Examining Trump’s Wiretap Claim

• A New York Times story on steps taken by the Obama administration that would allow the National Security Agency “to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections.” This story, which ran Jan. 12, has nothing to do with the alleged wiretapping of Trump Tower, but rather how intelligence material is shared.

I politely request that right-wingers in this board stop making stuff up. Thanks.

Politifact is not independent. It is left wing all the way. Request denied.

We have a President who has the entire intel community at his disposal, but would rather get his information from some Brietbart ragweed web blog. Trump is so far "out there", that even Fox News is distancing themselves from him.

Fact checkers are fake news.

Fact checkers are fake news.

Ah, "fake news". Just the latest in a long line of bullshit buzzwards designed to "frame" the argument around something it isn't.

liberal media
Obamacare
death panels
war on terror
war on drugs
war on crime
war on radical Islam
illegal aliens
all lives matter
Obama's a Kenyon, a marxist, a socialist, a ______
Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi
liberals funding town hall protests
our 2nd amendment freedoms
say 'no' to socialized medicine
pull the plug on grandma
global warming is a hoax
​

The list just goes on and on. These are bullshit terms that mean absolutely nothing. What they are, is how the right practices "perception management".

Do you mean the article that said it was Manafort's BUSINESS CONTACTS in UKRAINE and RUSSIA who were monitored?
Why yes, yes you do.

And the headline on that article was???????????

NOT anything about Trump Tower or FISA warrants!!!

Nope, just WIRETAPS.

In RUSSIA and Ukraine!

Really, the Russian ambassador was in the US.

And where EXACTLY did the NY Times article mention the ambassador?????

 

[edthecynic]

Ed... I get the feeling you're going to get the chance to defend the allegations. This whole enchilada isn't going away anytime soon and some serious questions remain to be answered. You and I don't know those answers yet, but by God, we're going to know them when all is said and done.
You better HOPE the previous administration is as innocent as you think.

Funny how previously you were cocksure there were 2 (TWO) FISA warrant requests!

Brietbart was only reporting what was out there. The original article was about Mark Levin who was laying out a case on the silent coup that is occuring. ILevin (who is a lawyer) made a very solid argument.

Brietbart then reported on the findings by the left wing BBC and the Guardian who along with others have nailed down the FISA requests from their sources as well as McClatchy.

You see Brietbart made up jack shit as compared to the fake news outlets who cater to the left.

[Mac1958]

A sitting United States President not only accused his predecessor of committing a crime, he called him "sick".

Historic.

Conservative talk radio knew it had to cover for him so it ran with the NYT article. That's all it had.

We're reaching a point where it's going beyond "taking him seriously but not literally".

Now you have done it, forced the liberals to move the bar again.

After your post and link, this thread should over with another bunch of lefties with egg on their face

Bet it is not!

They will use semantics from here on out, hoping that anyone known as John Q Public misses your post, and believes the tripe of these Astro turfers.

I'm going by what the media reported since October. I readily admit it could all be fake news. This is why we need to get to the bottom of this and find some answers. It's a major problem either way. Either Democrats in charge of government and our intelligence apparatus can't be trusted or the media can't be trusted. Possibly both.

Except, you have things kinda backwards there. The media has been reporting this Trump/Russia investigation by all the three-letter agencies for months, including wiretapping and undercover surveillance. Talk radio helped to expose this and that prompted the president's tweet.

They're bullshit buzzwards intended to change the subject and avoid the truth. Any criticism Trump doesn't like, he calls fake news.

Screw that fake news bullshit! You say that so you don't have to address the truth of the matter that all our time is dominated over A FUCKING TWEET!

There's more important issues we need to address. But stuck discussing this Brietbart garbage.

It's SO funny when a liberal meme backfires and blows up in their face.

"Fake News" was originally coined by libtards searching for an excuse for why their criminal lost a "sure win" election to a reality show host.

That's the thing I think Trump's supporters like most about him... he has this knack for taking away your rhetorical baseball bat and bludgeoning the hell out of you with it.

They truth, as opposed to the fake news that Dims and the media are constantly spewing. This whole "Russia hacked the election" is nothing but a diversion.

Go back to your safe space, snowflake.

There is no truth coming from the MSM and the Dims.

What's fake about it? Like when Iraq had WMD's? That kind of fake?

So when we pick up a paper and it says today is March 21, 2017, we're not supposed to believe it?
