Because made up bullshit has a effect on people's lives and yours. There is a reason why people act the way they do. Its like saying why talk about liberalism its just made up anyway. The entire reason why we have a game show host as a president is because people believed he was the best choice.

Just throwing a hissy fit because "Religion is dumb LOL" doesn't stop making it important because you don't want it to.

That wasn't what my post or the post I was respoonding to was talking about. But thanks!

Who cares? It's made up. The world is burning and a game show host is the president of the united states and you're trying to debate made up bullshit.

Let's debate if Kirk or Picard was a better Captain. I apologize for screaming into the internet void, but come the gently caress on.
The Catholic-Protestant schism: something that's entirely irrelevant to world history in general and American post-war politics in particular.

Buzzfeed insistence on the story is extremely peculiar and suggests that there is some substantial aspect of the story that is not fully known yet. Outside theory is that they knew the govt likely knew some information but attributed it to a different source who they were fairly sure had it to see if they could get it on the record or force a reveal.

yesterday used anonymous DOJ sources to say that the SCO's statement was meant to tell everyone categorically that buzzfeed's reporting was wrong, period.

today the same reporters quote anonymous DOJ sources that walk that back significantly and are left only disputing whether Cohen was personally told to lie by Trump (and is there evidence of that), as opposed to being told by Trump's representatives

also today we got confirmation that higher level political people at DOJ started demanding they publicly refute it (the piece is careful to say Mueller's team was TOTALLY going to release a statement about it before their bosses called and it DEFINITELY didn't change anything)

That goes a long ways in explaining the extremely peculiar toothless wording as well as Buzzfeed's defense of the story. Also the weirdly late hour of the rebuttal, that story was allowed to percolate for a full news cycle.

It was really unfortunate that a lot of the reaction, in the media, and on here, whiplashed so quickly. From "Finally, the Smoking Gun" to "Buzzfeed made up a story"

Especially since the SCO response never denied the story, they just said "specific statements" "were not accurate".

But now, even here, I think a lot of people are going to remember it as a snarl, rather than being able to parse out what happened, which was basically "Buzzfeed had a story that might have been wrong on details, but which no one is denying the substance of"

One of the reasons for the Russia Investigation thread was to be able to kind of sort out what was well-accepted fact, what was a credible guess, and what was rumor, gossip and speculation. Unfortunately, that is gone for now.

Then they should have released a more concise statement that makes their intentions more clear. It's sad but people are generally not lawyers and won't parse such a statement 35 times in order to scientifically tease out the exact, intended meaning.
