Quote:Joseph diGenova, former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia during the Reagan administration, told the conservative website Lifezette that CIA officials know who is behind the leaks of classified information to The New York Times and The Washington Post and other media.

Lol that "news" report reads like a post on this board.

"Then again, it is the left. Acting out when you don’t get your way is pretty much the way they deal with things."

I'm sure it's legit though. Very credible reporting from a clearly non-biased source.

Also pretty funny that the article is about the horror of government employees leaking information to the press, and entire article is based on an alleged leak from the CIA. I guess that ones ok though.

How far we have fallen when people post an article like this but ignore the MSM.

How far has the MSM fallen? I agree we're living in strange times, but the simple truth is the MSM has destroyed their credibility.

How dare we not listen to Mother Jones, Slate, and Vice. I bet the left misses Jon Stewart.

Today Breitbart has as much credability as CNN?

My contention is this. Neither side wants to listen to news that is critical of their team. We want our news like our coffee and steaks. To our tastes.

You have to watch read all sources and figure it out for yourself. To many people listening to only one.

I generally agree with that, but it is clear that the MSM is doing everything in its power to try to destroy Trump. I didn't vote for him, but I can't even watch the nightly news because it's propaganda piece after hit piece.

Look at how they cover the Russia stories vs the wiretap story. For both stories, there has been no evidence presented to prove either as true, but the MSM portrays the Russia stories as fact, and quickly denounces the wiretap story. Both without evidence. The negative coverage of Trump is something like 88% of the time on MSM. It's crazy.

CNN is a complete joke now?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the majority of our history had a press that was very hit or miss from an accuracy standpoint, and that things didn't really FINALLY get buttoned down until Walter Cronkite's era. Prior to that the media was either the stooges of gov't, smear campaign hit squads or sensationalists. Hearst and Pulitzer in the early 1900s were far from fair/balanced/neutral chroniclers of history and current events.

Breitbart has more. CNN is at the bottom of the barrel now.

I used to primarily watch CNN with CBS and NBC to a lesser extent and almost never watched Fox. But even while Cruz still had a longshot chance in the primaries, CNN just got unwatchable. So have most of the NBC people (Today Show hasn't changed like the rest of the media-it still leans left but isn't insane left).

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a train wreck.

"We think Trump Tower was tapped" "No we think that" "The president thinks that". No evidence!

Guess Trump is guilty of reading the New York Times.

Well, everyone knows the New York Times is nothing but a moutpiece for conservatives.
