• Now nobody likes Buzzfeed: BuzzFeed's publication of Trump memos draws controversy
    33 replies, posted
I have read fairly lengthy buzzfeed articles that read like major newspapers, but I wouldn't use them as an only source yet. If they had a better way to back it up it the site wouldn't matter as much, but it looks like they doubled down when it was still unverified which makes them look bad. Every article online is what it is. It's not difficult to read through something and check for sources and make sure the tone isn't too aggressively partisan. For many articles that get posted I will immediately check to see if the New York Times or Washington Post have covered it, or at least some other site that has terrible reporting but can still be used to verify things (CNN)
[QUOTE=Disgruntled;51668249]I think the important parts of the dossier are true, and Trump should be prevented from taking office. Period. End of.[/QUOTE] I'm not surprised you actually choose which parts to believe in a report with falsified and unverifiable information and then tell people that's the end of it.

[QUOTE] I [I]think the important parts of the dossier are true[/I]... Period. End of. [/QUOTE] No. It doesnt matter what you [I]think[/I], it matters what you can prove. There are plenty of solid reasons to dislike trump that have factual and irrefutable recorded evidence backing them up. Stick to those. Really, for now, its best to just laugh at the irony that Trump, a man that attacked obama for not being an American born citizen and other unfounded accusations, is the target of unfounded accusations. Call it comedy, karma, or irony. But for now, we cannot call these reports the truth.
Fantastic recap on the situation from Ben Swann.

[/QUOTE] Well it is all certainly unverifiable, I didn't lie there. And falsified parts are turning up like the sex allegations, the Czech trip, etc with more evidence to the contrary coming out.
