On July 27, CNN ran a story, claiming that Donald Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen,

knew that Donald Trump knew a meeting was supposed to take place at Trump Tower,

where Russians would provide dirt to the Trump campaign on Hillary Clinton.

However, it appears now that this reporting is factually incorrect,

or at least was wrong at the time, because Lanny Davis, the lawyer for Michael Cohen,

is now saying that he was the source used by CNN, where this claim was made,

and that he was actually incorrect.

Cohen didn't actually know this. But what gets crazy is that CNN is standing by their reporting,

and it's not just that CNN is refusing the claims made by Davis, but Washington Post

even put out a story making it sound like this story might not actually be true.

And there's actually some more details, because apparently Cohen testified that Trump didn't have

foreknowledge, so why is CNN running the story? This is the anatomy of fake news from the mainstream

media. CNN put out the story a month ago. Many people, mostly on the left, are probably sharing

this saying it's proof that Trump is corrupt, and they really do believe it. And then look,

it can be wrong, it's entirely possible it is true, it's entirely possible. Trump has been corrupt.

The point I'm trying to make here is that new information has come to light, and it would be

entirely responsible of CNN to update their article to reflect these changes to the story,

but they are standing by their reporting. What ends up happening? A month goes by. It now becomes fact,

shared among people who hate Donald Trump, and when new information comes to light and the story

is corrected, they don't change it. So today, we're going to take a look at exactly what happened,

and we're going to look at the anatomy of fake news when it comes from the mainstream media.

So first, let's take a look at the story from Friday, July 27, 2018. Cohen claims Trump
