Unsubstantiated does not mean untrue.
Neither does it mean that it is true.
At this time, there is no evidence that Donald Trump indulged in some sort of perverted sex while in Moscow hotel. The CIA could only say that it was unsubstantiated.
The debate, with CNN and Buzzfeed, seems to be whether or not the people deserve to know that this "story" is out there. Trump supporters and others are saying it should never have gone public.
However, it was only a few weeks ago that these same people were cheering on the Wikileaks memos that were leaked to the American media, with the knowledge that some may have been unsubstantiated. But, that did not keep them from reporting each and every one of them.
Their complaints now about the unsubstantiated dossier on Donald Trump rings a little hollow.
= new reply since forum marked as read
stuff uncritically published by the MSM during the campaign, mostly when it involved a "whiff" of impropriety by Hillary Clinton in regards to the e-mails, State Department, or Clinton Foundation, which seemed to have the cumulative effect of driving down her numbers and giving her the appearance that she was just as "crooked" (or possibly worse) as Donald Trump- or at least appeared to promote the idea that both candidates were equally unlikable, corrupt, unqualified, etc.... This ultimately seemed to work in Trump's favor in the end by either boosting third party candidates, driving down turnout for Hillary among Democrats and progressives, or giving wavering Republicans whom might have voted for Hillary an excuse to either vote for Trump or just stay home after all.
WHERE IS THE MSM'S SHAME NOW?????
