President’s lawyers demanded a retraction or legal action - I’m sure this is related to that. Nevertheless, this report should be put on ice unless confirmed by other outlets. 

He shouldn’t even be given the opportunity to explain. He should never be allowed on air ever again. What a stupid decision. Truno has a right to be pissed, and thus does nothing but add fuel to the fake news brigade.

That’s a bit harsh, but I agree with the idea of a rather long suspension for O’Donnell.  There should be consequences for careless disregard of basic journalistic integrity, esp in these times when its veracity is under attack everyday. Accountability should be the standard not the exception. Guess I’ll have to watch CNN contrived debate panels for that hour,... ugh.

What he did is far more damaging to journalism than anything Trump has ever said about journalism. He at the very least shouldn’t be allowed to have his own show. No one should take this dude seriously.

Journalists have made mistakes before. It happens and O’Donnell should be suspended for his zealousness — he did not make up the story.

 

Trump has purposefully targeted the media as enemies of the people, engaged in hostile overtures and even provided blatant misinformation in schemes to discredit them. The press is explicitly protected by the first amendment Trump is supposed to honor and protect.  His acts are much worse, imo.

Let’s not be melodramatic here.  Trump has conditioned roughly ~35% of the country that anything not above and beyond complimentary is immediately dismissed as fake news.  He’s had reputable news sources “both sidesing” and mute criticism over his multitude of scandals and ridiculous actions in appearance over a “liberal bias.”  Journalist have been killed and I have no doubt partly because of his rhetoric.

 

credible journalist fuck up, if he even did in this case, and issued a retraction and apology.  Happened before and will happen again, it doesn’t damage creditable journalism on a whole, and certainly not on a scale Trump has to the public.  I mean I think Lawrence is more of a talking head than a journalist, he’s just not operating from a Breitbart or a twitter lunatic like Louis Mensch so more is expected from him.  He’s also dealing with a hyper litigious asshole.

Liberals will condemn faulty news. Conservatives?  They never admit it in the first place.

The libtards turn themselves into a pretzel trying to shit on Trump and end up shitting on themselves.  

At least libtards admit when they're wrong.  You shit heads go down with the ship.

The most interesting thing about this may be that Trump’s lawyers called and threatened to sue if they didn’t publicly retract the story. Which he did the next day. 

 

In and of itself, that’s not so interesting.

 

But look at all the other stories about Trump that MSNBC and others have aired/written that Trump and his cultists deny and call fake news. Where are the lawyers demanding retractions for those? It’s like tacit admission that all the other stories that weren’t retracted are true.

Whats your take on this? If I remember correctly these things happen when a journalist publishes or airs something they cannot backup with two  sources. 

smh. It was dumb as soon as he said it. 

 

Even if the one source is concrete he is a vet, he knows you don't cite a sources until you have two. He knows how it would be taken and knows the backlash. Especially in this climate. Why he would blurt this out on national TV is beyond me.

 

When a journalist does stuff like this in this climate Trump has ammo to put doubt on all media. Which he did today on Twitter.
