Calling The Kettle Black
In a recent article, the New York Times, that bastion of impartial journalism, took CNN's Buzzfeed to task for publishing a story about Trump's ties to Russia. Particularly was a story that Trump received "golden showers" from prostitutes in a Moscow hotel. Even journalists such as Julia Ioffe, who published (if not fomented) the rumor that Trump had sex with his daughter, wouldn't touch it. Buzzfeed's Editor, Ben Smith claims he published this article to "maintain transparency."
The dossier from which these allegations come were leaked to the media via Sen. John McCain, who has been anti-Trump since well before the election. McCain, thought by many to be a hero of the Vietnam War because of his imprisonment by the North Vietnamese in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton." He was charged with treason and is no more a hero of that war than Jane Fonda or John Kerry. Upon his return, he was pardoned by Nixon. Here are two links, the first about the NYT article, the second how the information was routed to Buzzfeed.

also, the likely "original source" that got suckered by 4chan is #nevertrumper rick wilson (his twitter is a hoot now)
There's another link that I didn't post that talks about him.

Methinks it's time for Senator McCain to hang up his War Hero pose and piss off into the wilderness. Another example of CNN's dedication to #FakeNews.
I know! When we started the VVA chapter in Phoenix he showed up. I wouldn't even shake his hand. I just walked away!
If he were a Brit, he would have announced his retirement over this.
Yeah, MSM has learned nothing from this election... Just wait
I know...and after the NYT called it "such a wake up."
I saw it last night, and loaded up my browser looking into it. That part about the urination is a 4Chan hoax!

"Did /pol/ seriously troll the fucking CIA?"
[EDIT: it may be a 4Chan hoax; I couldn't find any verification that stood scrutiny.]
You're surprised??? I'm going to check out your links, thanks!
I just finished checking them, and a lot more. My thoughts:
