Kellyanne Conway Has A Message For #FakeNews BuzzFeed

Quick recap of the latest BuzzFeed-related events:

• BuzzFeed released a “bombshell” report, accusing President Trump of directing Michael Cohen to lie to Congress
• One of the co-authors of the piece admitted he hadn’t seen any evidence to support his report
• His co-author contradicted him
• The Special Counsel released a statement, essentially calling the “accuracy” of  BuzzFeed’s report into question
• BuzzFeed continues to stand by its reporting

All caught up? Excellent.

President Trump responded to all of this drama and talked about MSM’s lack of credibility.

Remember it was Buzzfeed that released the totally discredited “Dossier,” paid for by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats (as opposition research), on which the entire Russian probe is based! A very sad day for journalism, but a great day for our Country!

There are so many reactions from high profile figures, but Kellyanne Conway’s is definitely one of my favorites.

Dear Media Types,

Your job is to get the story,
not get the President.

If you dove into #buzzfeed headfirst yesterday, you own it, too. “If true” was a faint murmur

“Impeach” was said 200x on CNN & MSNBC

The 3 networks devoted 27 minutes to it

Maybe just apologize?

So simple. So straight to the point. So TRUE.

MSM has lost its purpose. Those media types aren’t focused on delivering the news. They’re interested in getting a new hit in on Trump, because they hate him. It’s incredible that BuzzFeed continues to stand by its report, even AFTER the Special Counsel took the rare step of releasing a statement and calling it into question.

Own up and apologize. It’s not that hard, BuzzFeed.
