After it’s been revealed that Buzzfeed and CNN have fallen for a story put out by a bunch of trolls at 4chan, damage control efforts have been intense. CNN, which had squandered and last drop of credibility they once had during the election, pimping Hillary Clinton was visibly shaken by the backlash over their fake news, Russia-Trump story. Today, Fake Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer appeared rattled, and tried their best to defend their fake news. Fake Tapper also go irrirated at Trump after Trump flattened hack Jim Acosta as his press conference today.

Tapper went on to clarify, “So, that conflation, whether it’s because Sean Spicer misunderstood or some other reason, that’s not true. CNN did not do that.”
Later, Tapper theorized Trump’s “fake news” outburst at CNN reporter Jim Acosta was an attempt to discredit the media organization.
“When Mr. Trump went after our own Jim Acosta saying he is ‘fake news’ and he isn’t going to call on him, what I suspect we are seeing here is an attempt to discredit legitimate, responsible attempts to report on this incoming administration with irresponsible journalism that hurts us all and the media going forward should keep that in mind,” Tapper stated.
“I can understand why President-Elect Trump would be upset about it,” Tapper said. “That’s why we did not detail any specifics from it because it was uncorroborated and that’s not what we do. We are in the business of sussing out what is true and false.”
At this point, Buzzfeed and CNN have gone well past liberal media bias and become outright corrupt.
