Buzz Feed, one of many "news" sources that claims to be the epitome of journalism in modern-day America, came out with a huuuge "news" scoop claiming that colleague Jason Leopold had actually seen documents purporting to come from President Trump ordering attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress. That was promptly followed by an epistle from Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller's office that no such document existed because no such order was ever made by the President.
Leopold has since all but disappeared; Buzz Feed News investigative reporter Anthony Cormier claims Leopold is too busy on reporting assignments to talk to anybody. Leopold has been involved in numerous scandals during his career regarding false reports,
including one in 2002 for Salon.com about Enron that the outlet said
was "riddled with inaccuracies and misrepresentations," and another
incorrect story in 2006 for Truthout.org about supposedly pending
indictments against former George W. Bush aide Karl Rove.
Yet, Buzz Feed has seen fit to hire the liar and to put his uncorroborated material out there for the world to assume as being gospel truth. In this instance, the non-journalistic crime was compounded when the mainstream media and the Democrats jumped up and down and started screaming, "Impeachment!"
Buzz Feed, the press and the media need to be called out for what they are: propaganda outlets for the fascists trying to take control of this country.
