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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
