the "adults in the room" want Americans to know: the emperor has no clothes.

[2MuchMark]

In an attack from an enemy within, top officials who see Trump up close, including one calling the band of renegades the "resistance," are finally daring to say -- albeit under Washington's invisibility cloak of anonymity -- what outside critics have long believed.

They warn the President of the United States is not only unfit to be the most powerful man in the world, but is a venal mix of ignorance and ego, pettiness, malignancy and recklessness that is putting the republic and the world itself at risk.

For all his boasts of historic success and self-image as a strongman's strongman, the "adults in the room" want Americans to know: the emperor has no clothes.

You know you can claim an anonymous source said anything, right?

There are still some idiots that think CNN is a viable source of news.

personally I don't think there is any news source that can be trusted... It's a big business to form peoples opinions the way leaders wish, the outcomes are probably well known to those people on all ends, the main goal is still to divide the population and make you constantly fight over bullshit... (this forum is a perfect example of the fact that they actually succeed, lol)

Any news source can completely fabricate some "anonymous source" and say whatever they want. "Anonymous source inside Clinton Foundation admits Hillary is a reptilian. Recent health problems due to keeping human form for extended periods of time during campaign".

So much money is being made on this division. People are sharing this news story which will probably be retracted in a week and CNN's just gobbling up those sweet, sweet ad views

the source is only anonymous to the public, not to the NYT

I'm much smarter than you and I check CNN daily. Moreover, this is a NYT story.

An anonymous source named Deepthroat passed information about Nixon to The Washington Post. Turns out "Deepthroat" was Federal Bureau of Investigation Associate Director Mark Felt.

When a major, long term, main stream media company says they have an anonymous source.... That means it's someone who doesn't want anyone to know who it is so they don't lose their job.

Sabotage
Sabotage is a deliberate action aimed at weakening a polity, effort or organization through subversion, obstruction, disruption or destruction. One who engages in sabotage is a saboteur. Saboteurs typically try to conceal their identities because of the consequences of their actions.

When an agenda'd, biased mainstream news source that has a financial interest in making drama says they have an anonymous source, I have to take it with a grain of salt and you should too. Mainstream news sources have been known to twist around words and context to fix a narrative.... An anonymous source, which they conveniently can't disclose, says something that conveniently cannot be verified in any way.

Just because it fits your opinions doesn't make it automatically true.

Thats great.

But you say "mainstream newsource" like there is a whole world of alternative places that dont have agendas.

Who these wonderful charitable self funding paragons ?

Alex Jones ???

RT.com ?

Brietbart ?

You name me a primary news source and I 100% guarantee that their is an editorial agenda. Or an owner with an agenda. If that agenda fits with your own leanings then you go with it.

The phrase "mainstream media" is a ridiculous as "fake news"or his new one "phoney". Trumpisms designed to put down anyone who disagrees with him. Just like when he said that he would only accept the result of the election if he won.
Then you have Trumps favourite strategy to belittle his opponent. Prefacing the news organisation person or company that is critical of him with the title "failing", or referring to whatever he thinks their "ratings" are.

"Enemies of the People".

Right ?

I never said that non-mainstream's do not have an agenda. The difference here is financial gain. If I run a small right-wing news site, say gatesofvienna or something, of course I have an agenda. The difference is that if I run a small non-mainstream site, and make up an anonymous source of drama, then I will make fuck all on it. My shit will not spread as far and most will just consider it false or question it. Someone like CNN or Fox News though - that's a different story. That shit will get 2-3 million views, tons of ad money.

No... Putin is more like the crazy loner kid that wears the trench coat. Everyone expects him to go to jail for something but no one knows what.

Everyone knows eventually he will either get killed or kill someone because hes nutter crazy..

Trump is the fat kid who's daddy bought him everything that none liked. However he had the money to buy the beer so people let him hang around..

There is a massive industry devoted to cashing in on Trump and the alt-right news hysteria.

At least the mainstream news media have a level of accountability. Shareholders do not like it if their advertisers stop spending.

^^ The liberal lunatics believe any stupid shit the fake Democrat Media comes up with.

It's quite amusing to watch you idiots defend phony stories with fake anonymous sources.

Mark, you got duped buddy (again). Telling you this as a friend, CNN and NY are not legitimate news sources. They are the Democrat hate machine that dupes gullible citizens. Oh wait you're not a citizen, just easily misled. Please tune in to Hannity & get some facts.
