Buzzfeed: Another Lie About Trump Exposed. If Trump is So Awful, Why Do They Have to Make It Up?

Trump's critics have no credibility. Truth isn't something they value.  But still, they know the Big Lie works so they keep on with their fake news!

Oh, the Trump haters really got excited when Buzzfeed published an article claiming Trump instructed his Attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress.  This is it they said, the smoking gun, we've got him. Now we will impeach him. A cacophony of Trump hysterics took to the airwaves to say the word "impeachment" over and over on Thursday and Friday. Approximately 200 times on CNN and MSNBC.

Except it was all a giant lie. Another in a LONG LIST of lies told about Trump.

While it's gratifying that Trump haters suddenly take lying to Congress seriously and consider it a crime their hypocrisy is showing. Have any of these hysterics demanded prosecution of arch deep state coup plotters Comey, Clapper or Brennan?  All three have been CREDIBLY accused of lying to Congress. Sadly, you won't find anyone on CNN or MSNBC calling for their prosecution. Likewise when Justice Kavanaugh accusers were referred for prosecution for lying to Congress. Nothing but crickets from today's Trump hysterics.

No, once again we see the Big Lie in action. Put a bombshell report out there that if true might have serious ramifications.  A day or two later it's exposed as false but the damage is already done.  Say the word "impeachment" a couple hundred times and it's bound to get picked up by even casual news observers who likely will never see the correction.

It's the same story of lies and fake news that has been repeated over and over by the Trump haters. Yet one wonders: if Trump is really as awful as they say why do they have to make it up?  There is still NO EVIDENCE that Trump did anything wrong in connection with Russia and the 2016 campaign.  At this stage it's obvious that the fake news crowd doesn't care about the truth.  Lies are their weapon of choice and the truth is their first victim.

As I said below about Brexit scaremongering, once you sell your soul to fear and lies there is no way back.  The Trump hating hysterics have lost their soul!

UPDATE: 

From Michael Goodwin's Sunday column in the New York Post:

While BuzzFeed alone created the false report, which was based, naturally, on anonymous sources, it was not alone in revealing its desire to be rid of Trump. Much of the political class embraced the story without doubts because they wanted it to be true. Dems in Congress instantly pledged investigations.

Then there are the so-called journalists who swallowed the ­report without trying to confirm it themselves. Many touted it as the Holy Grail while inserting the ridiculous phrase, “if it’s true.”

Not so long ago, no respected journalist or news organization would go public with something unless they had enough evidence to reach the conclusion it was true. The bigger the story, the higher the threshold of necessary evidence.

Not Friday. Then the biggest possible story was presented with the least possible evidence. “If it’s true” is an admission of malpractice.

To use it as a shield while reporting an accusation of massive significance violates every conceivable standard. Real journalists do not report something, then caution that it may not be true.

You certainly don’t accuse the president, or anyone else, of a crime unless you are persuaded by evidence it is true.

What if the media had treated the Birther charge against Obama with the same hysteric zeal as every false allegation against Trump?
