In January, Buzzfeed NEWS reported that Michael Cohen was explicitly told to lie by Donald Trump. However, shortly after the publishers, mothers Office issued a statement and a rare case where they refuted the story from Buzzfeed Buzzfeed maintained their story said Sources were sound, but now, have testimony from Michael Cohen himself ass? He appeared before Congress and what did he say? He was not directly told to lie by Donald Trump, though he believes Trump wanted him to lie. That is still a big difference between explicitly being told and just thinking, one wants you to light, what did Buzzfeed NEWS do in response in several interviews editor in chief Ben Smith gave several statements where he said this vindicated their reporting and they are right the whole time, but kind of changing the language now to uphold this narrative Michael Cohen's test He also shows us that calling himself didn't Any evidence of collusion, but he did have some suspicions. The media now has to contend with the fact that for years they keep pushing this concern.

Piracy narrative, but the evidence keeps acting against them in response to the buzz, story. Several mainstream journalists tried defending Buzzfeed when the reporting was flat out. Prom people in this country don't trust the media and once again, are given reason to believe the media is putting out nonsense because they want to go clicks and make money today, let's take a look at some, Michael Commons testimony and then look how the media is trying to protect themselves as they push fake news. But before we get started, make sure you follow on mines at minds. Dotcom slash suffers where we ve set up a dish. If it had newsroom, the ball is To give you a place where you can get involved and shit stories. You think part being highlighted enough if you want to all these videos just share them on social media top spread the message. First, let's take a look at some reporting from vocs dot com. What Michael Commons, testimony means for the Russia Investigation, Cohen, offered frigging new information, but he clearly hasn't made mothers case

this house testimony Wednesday, Michael Cohen, offered new details about several. Matters of importance to special Council Robert Mullahs investigation, but said he knew of no direct evidence that the trunk campaign colluded with Russia Cohen describe trumps efforts to mislead the american people? about Russia related matters and said that he has suspicions about whether collusion took place. The first, but I want to address Collins, said that Trump quote did not directly tell me to lie to Congress. That's in reference to the Trump Tower Moscow meeting, because that's not how he operates. There were many people in media who quickly called out Buzzfeed, because this definitively proves buzz. Feed was wrong. The Washington Post wrote this story after Cohen's hearing the Buzzfeed bombshell that Mahler disputed looks better and worse in MID June. Your area. Buzzfeed news report hit the new cycle like a mile wide asteroid landing on earth. Its assertion was stunning that president Tromp had directed his fix or Michael calling to lie to Congress and twenty seventeen about negotiations the previous year

to build a Trump tower in Moscow and that special Council Robert smaller. The third possess documentation of this and further. That Cohen, had acknowledged those instructions and interviews with Miller's office. Suddenly the word suborning wildly trending, because to induce someone to lie under oath is too suborn perjury, which happens to be a felony. But then the close if story seemed to fall apart. Other organizations were unable to match it. They could not report there own versions of it with their own sources, and then Stunningly molars office issued a brief, devastating statement, disputing aspects of the buzzword report following the statement from Mothers Office, the writers of the peace Jason Leopold an entity for me, as well as the editor in chief of Buzzfeed newsman Psmith, defended their sources and defended their reporting, even though the office said. No, even though. All of these other outlets were saying. We can't confirm this, and even after Cohen, who's out and said he was not directed to lie. Ben Smith comes out and still defends the fake news.

Hearing on MSNBC Erin met of the nation highlighted this statement from Ben Psmith sang on Friday, Buzzfeed Ben told Chris Haze that the first of the core central pieces of that Buzzfeed story was that Cohen thought he had been told to lie and that common had confirmed that to Congress Psmith. He certainly said that he used the word told and met points out. That's false. First, that was not the core central piece of the Buzzfeed story, recall what Buzz reported, not that culling thought he had been told to lie, but that Trump directed CO into lie and that tromp was exe Was it really telling co into lie? The new Yorker recently published an interview with Jason Leopold, who was one of the authors titled above you report explains how controversial reporting on Michael Cohen and Donald Trump. In the interview he says, I will say that I have evidence that what he said to Congress as it pertains to the story that Anthony Cornea and I wrote was but whether he has anything that's dishonest I mean it may relate to,

things that I'm writing in the future. I don't have anything to say about that. He states clearly that what coincide to Congress was correct. He goes on when questioned. Do you believe that what coincide backs up your story? It seems, like you just said that yes Cohen, confirmed the central thesis of our report. The president met with him before his false testimony. White house lawyers edited his false testimony before he gave it and Cohen understood that the president was direct him to lie to Congress, but the new Yorker pushed back saying in the piece you wrote in what was the central thesis of your story that this was quote. The first known example of Trump explicitly telling a subordinate to lie directly about his own dealings with Russia was that language, accurate Leopold said so You know Cohen, totally understood that he was being directed by Trump to light a congress. He did not mention how many meetings or explicit words that the president may have spoken that led him to.

And you know more may come out, but calling himself made it clear in his testimony that he and Trump both understood this to be explicit, and he should lie to Congress and he made it clear that it was an explicit command and they pushed back further. Do you think him saying quote? He did not directly tell me to lie, contradicts at all your writing it. This was the first known example of Trump explicitly telling a board it to lie. In fact, Cohen was asked several times to clarify. You stated that Trump never directed utilised Congress. Is it correct that correct, but he never directed utilised a congress. He did not use those words no and at this point its mindless semantics, they're, trying to justify their report, which was incorrect, which was refuted by mothers, office and refuted and congressional testimony. They are trying to defend their parting. That was wrong, and this is what companies do. They will not

responsibility for publishing fake news, how many news organisations immediately apologized and retracted, following the Miss reporting in Covington very few. In fact, many of the tweets- and the stories are still alive and only after a loss it was filed. Did the Washington Post issuing Torreon note about their miss reporting of the facts. At the time buzz feeds on national report is titled. President Trump directed his attorney. I could go into lie to Congress, about the Moscow Tower Project and the direct quote Trump did not directly Tell me to lie to Congress about the Trump Tower in Moscow, their title directly refuted by Cohen's testimony. Yet even the editor in chief of Buzzfeed is still maintaining lie. This example is just something we were able to catch, because common testified

There are many more stories like this. The media has a history of lying and refusing to correct the record, and this is why Americans do not trust the media. It's why trust in media continue to decline My opinion is a contributing factor to why many of these media companies are falling apart and laying people off keeping in mind Buzzfeed just laid off a massive amount of its staff members. A month ago, on with that story, Cohen also testified that he knows of no direct evidence that Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia. Yet this keeps being pushed by MSNBC, CNN and other mainstream outlets, Glenn Greenwell tweeted. I'm not saying this to be mean I genuine, They feel sorry for MSNBC viewers who have had their brains filled with stuff like this for two straight years and uncritically believed what they were hearing

the damage to the discourse will never be undone Green walled, also tweeted Michael Cohen, trumps, most trusted and intimate fixer, who now hate some was a never in Prague, knows of no blackmail leverage the Kremlin has and never heard. Any attempts to conspire with Russia over the election. The media silence over these crucial facts is deafening and finally, NBC doing its best to prepare its audience for what they think is coming and trying to figure out how to bridge the gap between the expectation. They stopped for two straight years with the harsh reality. They obviously believe, Eve is imminent stories that are emerging now reflected in this narrative from time why the Mulder report might disappoint almost everybody story, says after endless hype, special Council, Robert Mahler may be about to submit his report. It is in want to know what is conclusions will be, but after so much speculation, one outcome seems likely. Mahler will disappoint just about everyone, especially president trumps critics, and it won't be his fault this

This is due in part to trumps successful disinformation crusade, which has worked to raise a nearly impossible, Definitely illogical, bar for Mahler to clear, proving collusion and charging a grand criminal conspiracy involving the Trump campaign and the russian gas. But it is also due to trumps critics who have responded to trumps, no collusion mantra by shouting. Back, yes collusion. Oh I get it, it was trouble fault for denying that he colluded with Russia when his lawyer says he now. Recovery with Russia or has no evidence of that fact. Yet the media uncritically pushed the narrative endlessly and even after their stories are discredited even after Buzzfeed is discredited, they uphold the lie. This is the problem we are facing with journalism in this country

and I am sick and tired of it. It is the nonsense. It is the desire to maintain this visage of credibility that doesn't exist. People dont trust you anymore, because you do this Buzzfeed should come clean and say our reporting was wrong. We got it wrong and they should apologise for it, but by referred, whose into correct by blaming trump instead for the russian narrative. All this does is proved the american people that the meat is full of dishonest liars. At the same time, I want to make sure it's clear there are many people in media, especially left wing reporters like Glenn, green and aromatic, who have no problem, calling out the complete and total bowl crap, and I respect them for it. Look you're, not always going to be right. We can't expect the media to know everything all the time but which it absolutely expect them to apologize retract and correct when they get the stories wrong, but they don't sometimes they do.

I respect them when they do and when they do. It's evidence that they are trying to do right, but look at what happened with Covington a month goes by much of fake news is still live. Look at what's going on now with Cohen, and russian collusion they just double down because they refuse to accept. They pushed lies for years, Buzzfeed Roof It was as to accept, even in the face of Malta's office, saying you are wrong. They refuse to back down, even in the face of current saying no, I was never directly told them, they refused to back down and they try. The changing the wording of what they claimed, as reported by air imitate. So no I'm not going to give the media the benefit of the doubt, and I don't, to tell you, because we really do need the media to protect democracy. We need me, get access watchdogs to put power in to call out the nonsense, but they aren't doing it. There are independent voices- and there are good journal-

to try there are good journalists working with in mainstream newest new sources who tries but right now we are just seeing the worst of the worst, and I don't know what else to tell you you can commonplace.
