CNN report an ill-timed hit piece

The Daily Herald Editorial Board has really hit a new low on Sunday in pronouncing CNN accurate in their reporting of those recent allegations against Donald Trump.

This false report has been around since summer and not one news agency picked up on it as it was so outrageous and unverifiable. I find it interesting that CNN had to rev this up the day before his first major press conference and 10 days before the inauguration.

Turns out the whole fake story was peddled by a far-left friendly source. They knew the impact that reporting these allegations (albeit unverifiable) would have. Then BuzzFeed, not to be outdone, felt compelled to release the whole fake dossier. Why report that at all?

I understand that most investigative journalist's skills are pretty weak right now as they really haven't been used for the last eight years, but a high school sophomore would have had the chops to see right through this.

Shame on CNN and shame on this editorial board for not having the ability to realize what a total hit-piece this really was.
