They won't, but the networks should just deny him time, not because they have any objections, but because his ratings suck.

It will ultimately depend on how big the discrepancy is. In the article, they did say they reached out to the Special Council’s office and they declined to comment. It’s a little odd to do that and now comment retroactively.

Yeah, it seemed pretty obvious all day that this story was sketchy. Democrats were hedging their bets. Mainstream media kept pointing out how they couldn't corroborate it. Then Buzzfeed sent out those odd contradictory statements about whether they'd actually seen the documents. I wasn't exactly expecting Mueller's people to come out and kill it but it seemed like something we had to drop until Buzzfeed or someone else backed up.

Yeah, it could be they didn't wait long enough for them to respond before going to print, but iirc the article says they declined comment, not that they didn't respond.

Really is pathetic how quickly these things are just immediately accepted as truth by oh so many hangers-on. This didn't register a blip with me today, and I have to admit, I was reading this thread at work today just waiting for this very thing, the hard, cold dose of reality to smack everyone in the face once more and ruin everybody's fun. This is the Hell Timeline. No easy outs for any of this poo poo. I don't say this to say I told you so, I don't say it to say nothing matters. I say it without joy of any kind. I say it as a cynic, convinced that we're simply in a time where Better Angels, so quickly adopted and believed in by the masses, have been revealed to be dead and gone long ago while we were all looking the other direction. Oh, I count myself among those multitudes, I figured we were better than this too. I was in a bubble of ignorant white privilege, and was wrong. This is America. No easy ways out.

I said it earlier in the thread, and in previous threads, but anyone waiting for the Mueller deus ex machina to come in and "march Trump off in cuffs" (an actual loving quote I see all the time on #Resistance Twitter) and save the rest of us is believing in Santa Claus, dragons and the loving Easter Bunny. Fools, all. It ain't gonna happen. And stories like these have the intended effect: driving clicks and views and stirring the pot. Which is why we have Trump to begin with. Welcome to the Hell Timeline.

I didn't hear anything from them. I heard like Schiff and Castro and others but they all seemed to be carefully handling it as "if this is true". They seemed to be VERY carefully handling it as more time passed, which was a huge red flag for me.

And honestly, save the receipts on this poo poo. Those in the MSM quick to signal boost it and whip up on it without casting the requisite doubt? Add them to the loving list, and kick them off the island. Anyone not casting HUGE amounts of doubt on this poo poo today is suspect as all hell, IMO.

You know I feel like this has to be pointed out a lot, but what the hell, I'll do it again. Maybe trusting someone being marched off to federal prison for lying his rear end off......isn't the most trustworthy source for....anything? Unless he's telling you poo poo while under oath and even then! Funny thing about proven liars...

Meanwhile in Tempe, AZ (Phoenix metro), a 14 year old was breaking into a car in the afternoon. He took off, apparently had a gun (was an airsoft). Of course he was killed by the cops.

Hey so is there a way to spoiler that execution of a child?
