Summary

Buzzfeed FORCED To Admit It Published FAKE NEWS About Trump. Buzzfeed falsely reported that Donald Trump explicitly told Michael Cohen to lie in the Russia investigation but the story was almost immediately refuted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Office. Buzzfeed REFUSED o back down and defended their reporting.Even after Cohen testified and proved the story was false Buzzfeed again REFUSED to back down.But the Mueller report released to the public gives Buzzfeed no choice but to finally admit defeat. They were wrong, they published fake news, they refused to back down even with every bit of evidence saying they were wrong and now finally they admit it.What we see is CNN giving a platform to Buzfeed's reporters to defend their fake news and journalists protecting their own, refusing to hold them accountable.The only real accountability happens across partisan political lines and that's a shame. The Trump Russia narrative is over and it's time to MOVE ON. We learned from Attorney William Barr what we needed to know, No collusion and no obstruction. While there are many interesting insights from the Mueller report we need to move on and solve our country's problems. Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.
