People cry slander all the time without knowing what it means or how our court deals with it. The truth in this case is that nothing said or posted is going to have any impact on Trump, that's not to say it's not illegal, immoral, or frankly stupid. If it is deemed hurtful to our great people I would expect full prosecution but I won't be holding my breath.

We've had tabloids for many years, we like to be entertained and it's usually pretty harmless.

Except we can usually deduce what is satire from the supermarket rags and what is actually news just from the headlines. When an actual media company like Buzzfeed is doing the same thing and, even worse, make the assumption that he (our next president) is compromised and published it as fact, well, they don't know the meaning of the word compromised. Just ask President Obama when he was caught on a hot mic with the then Russian President Dmitri Medvedev telling him that he will have more flexibility after the 2012 election in reference to nukes in eastern Europe. (clip below)

 
Perhaps I simply believe, hope, and wish that the american public can discern because I believe in the freedom of press. I ask for way too much and I know this.

That being said we are speaking of the POTUS, who in their right mind would knowingly want to cross that line?
 
Australian Media drinking the cool aid, the way the talk about it is if it's fact.

It's Channel 9. What were you expecting from the network that hired Karl Stefanovic?

(For our non-Australian friends, imagine a jackrabbit on cocaine and with the attention span of a three year-old - that's Karl Stefanovic.)

Doesn't look like it makes for much of a political point, but at least there's a golden shower of jokes to be had....... :D

Kinda cool/interesting that the document was leaked in full. Source (as Buzzfeed notes, not just unverified but potentially unverifiable stuff).

What about the recent sources from Washington where Obama and Trump were both told that Trump had been targeted personally by Russia. That they had personal information on him...

Now this could be the makings of a great connection to bring Russia and Trump together, and later claim they only got that personal info because of Trump himself.

Though the narrative tells a different story, as if Trump was also hacked. Or Russia just did a complete info grab on both candidates. And if this is more of the case, then Russia helping Trump really doesn't hold any validity if they're also attacking him. Personally the info gained and leaked about the Dems could have very likely came from stolen info found on Russian servers by an outside source who then thought it best to give to Wikileaks, or a gov't insider without the Russian Gov't knowing. But for the Russian gov't to leak it themselves is a big claim that needs mounds of evidence. And it doesn't seem like everyone is meeting eye to eye on that mound.

So my question is what is the end result, most of what I've seen is a joke or false reporting that the CIA "unwittingly believes". Let's be honest the CIA aint that stupid and they seem to want this foundation set up...even if the reporting and info claimed is false.

That new "company intelligence report" looks like nothing more than poorly written fiction. Apparently the story is that this lone English ex-agent from the 1990's hired by the Democrats no latter than early 2016 (based on his report indexing and average report output) have been extremely successful in infiltrating Kreml and making them leak top secret information in a manner that the CIA could only dream of. Is this agent that they hired Pierce Brosnan as James Bond??

I'm just wondering what 'compromising information' the Russians might have on Donald Trump that would make him look any worse than he has already managed to accomplish all by himself.

Probably embarrassing sexual and financial indiscretions linking through a Moscow hotel room. But hey, we already know Trump is not a saint - he was friends with the Clintons! Nowadays there is embarrassing information on everybody, and some of it will be commercialized or weaponized against those who rise to notice.
 
If the above is true, then there needs to be a serious inquiry as to why every major news outlet is covering the story, especially when the original article makes it pretty clear that it is 'unverified and potentially unverifiable'. That statement alone should preclude a 'story' from going any further, but clearly the urge to report 'explosive' or sensational news is just too strong, even when it has already been labelled as unverified.
 
So I guess this is a good example of how the MSM is just copy pasting anything that fits their liberal agendas these days.
If it really was a joke from a dude over at 4chan, he managed to make them look like true tossers :lol:

I'm checking the international headlines, and they are still running it as if there is any ground to it haha.
Desperate.

Switch Trump with Clinton and ask that question again. As @mister dog stated, their preferred candidate lost the election, and they are willing to skirt libel laws just to hurt the Trump agenda before he even takes office.

I'm not going to lie, even if this turns out to be "fake news", I've got an intense feeling of Schadenfreude from seeing it turn on its biggest beneficiary and cause him to have a meltdown. :lol:

Biggest beneficiary as in MSM and liberals no? Otherwise I take back my like :D

i think it is, that's why in my last post I said it seems it's all fake info the CIA is on and they just ran with it because they want it to realistically work out this way.

Wouldn't be the first time and most likely not the last.
 
Top 3 weird claims in the report:

1. Russia has persuaded Jewish software developers in the US to add Trojans to their products.

2. The agent has top-level contacts everywhere and can provide detailed descriptions of Trump's and Putin's meetings, actions and minds, yet can't establish a date more precise then "probably 2013" for when the golden shower is supposed to have taken place.

3. Russia wouldn't use the dirty secrets as leverage against Trump as long as he cooperates. As if that's not what leverage actually means. :odd:
