Kellyanne Conway Wrongfully Accuses CNN

Yesterday, CNN reported on claims that Russia made efforts to compromise President-elect Donald Trump. BuzzFeed published the 35-page dossier that alleges Russian operatives compromised financial and personal information about Trump. Both publications have been called out by the Trump campaign as being fake news.

CNN's Anderson Cooper interviewed Kellyanne Conway today and she insisted that " [CNN] linked to the BuzzFeed article." Cooper stated that his news organization never links to the dossier because the material is unverified.

Here are all links in CNN's article accompanied with screenshots to prove that BuzzFeed was never linked to anywhere in CNN's publication.


1) "Prompted then-Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid..."


Links:

"Reviewing newly discovered emails that might be linked to Clinton's private server."

"Clinton's FBI investigation: What you need to know"


2) "Since been published by Buzzfeed"

Conway tweeted that CNN linked to BuzzFeed but evidently didn't click the link because you're not directed to the memos.


CNN directs you to an article that was published by their own Dylan Byers.

Links:

"CNN revealed"

"Tweeted Mark Horowitz"

"Jonathan Chalt observed."

"Michael Wolff wrote"

"He tweeted out"

"The organization tweeted"


3) "Russia denies having "Krompromat" on Donald Trump"

Links:

"CNN reported Tuesday"

"Read More:..."

"BuzzFeed on Tuesday night"

"At a senate hearing on Tuesday"


4) "Were first reported publicly in Mother Jones"

David Corn touches on what the allegations are but never links to the BuzzFeed. Articles published by CNN don't even link to BuzzFeed.


Journalists should publish credible stories. But when credible journalists are being called out for fake journalism, we should be scared. Intensive research for credability should always be conducted before allegations are made and that is why CNN and Esther-Irene Egan do not link to the BuzzFeed publication.

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
