CNN is the king of very fake news. It’s their brand basically these days. They claimed they had a bombshell when former Clinton lackey Lanny Davis, who is representing Michael Cohen claimed Cohen would accuse Trump of knowing about the Trump Tower meeting with his son Don Jr. and the Russian adoption Putin goon.
Then the truth came out. Davis reversed his claim that Trump had knowledge of the meet and admitted so on CNN’s air. Not like anyone actually saw it or anything. Then Davis even admitted that he was CNN’s “anonymous source” that claimed to know POTUS Trump had knowledge of the meeting.

CNN refuses to retract and correct their fake news story, instead claiming they have “other sources” to back the BS up. Even the Washington Post retracted their original story and told the truth, but not CNN. Why?
It was only this week that he admitted he actually was a CNN source. His excuse to Buzzfeed: He “made a mistake” and “unintentionally misspoke.” (Three times?)
CNN is standing by the story because it says it has at least one other source for it, and because it suspects Davis changed his story only because Cohen could face perjury charges, since he testified under oath to a Senate committee that he had no advance knowledge of the Trump Tower sitdown.
The network offers no justification for its own deception of reporting that Davis hadn’t commented when he actually had, though anonymously.
Davis, meanwhile, has also retracted at least two other claims about what Cohen “knows” about Trump. Maybe all those years as a Clinton spokesman just leave him unable to tell the truth, but what’s CNN’s excuse?
