"As long as what they report on is factual - and that's his gripe. 35 pages were reported by Buzzfeed and the allegations they published baseless - CNN apparently bought into it. CNN has since gone on record that they did not, and I guess that's something they need to iron out between them. Spicer's gonna have his hands full.."
What BuzzFeed did - dumping all those pages without verifying them - is not journalism. CNN just reported that Buzzfeed did the document dump without suggesting that the documents were verified - so what they reported was factual. At no point did they say that what was being alleged was actually true - all they said was "here are the allegations". What's wrong with that? That's proper journalism. |
