    Fine. Let this "Buzz-whatever" keep on 'digging a hole'. Until or unless someone comes forth with proof and evidence, it's all just one variety or another of BULLSHIT -- just ask Mueller's people....

    I know that some political factions find the need for "proof" and "evidence" to be unnecessary and antiquated. We saw that VIVIDLY in the Left's attempt to guillotine Brett Kavanaugh last just four months ago. But, fortunately, our own American "Reign of Terror" mobs don't have a majority -- yet. It's still necessary to have proof when a person shoots his irresponsible mouth off to anyone but his bobbing-head comrades... or, he will simply be considered a fool!

    A report's not going to cut it. You need proof. This reporter has been in trouble before.

    In 2002, Salon.com removed a story Leopold had written as a freelancer for the site. Salon said that as it investigated a piece he wrote about Enron, including an allegation of plagiarism against him, Leopold "distributed an account of events" that was "riddled with inaccuracies and misrepresentations." Ultimately Salon said it "reluctantly had to conclude" Leopold's piece carried "an instance of plagiarism," despite his strong denials.
    After the scandal, Leopold wrote a book in which he said he had engaged in "lying, cheating, and backstabbing" in his life; battled mental illness; and struggled with substance abuse.

    Actually, they CAN be sued.

    Libel is what they call it when a person suffers damage in "his trade, profession, or calling". The judgments can be severe.

    I get a sense that they think, and rightfully so, that the Mueller investigation is about to fizzle out and they're in panic mode to hurry up and impeach. Nothing that they've tried so far has worked.

    The whole impeachment thing was to get lefties frothy so they would vote in november.

    Of course Trump won't be impeached. Of course the russian narrative is fake.

    However there are many who lack even basic critical thinking skills.

    There are forumites here who STILL think its going to happen.

    That's what ABC's Chief White House correspondent is reporting, that it will be "anti-climactic".

    Its a complete lack of critical thinking.

    When it was announced that Mueller wouldn't give his conclusions until AFTER the election, and when it was tempered with don't expect much from his investigation, I knew what it was.

    It was a means to keep lefties frothy so they would vote in November.

    no, inaccurate is not necessarily untrue but it is inexact. Would you say that a claim that there were 50 people killed in a suicide bombing is untrue because only 49 people killed? The truth is that there were many people killed, the inaccuracy is in the total number.

    Synonyms

    erroneous, false, incorrect, inexact, invalid, off, unsound, untrue, untruthful, wrong

    Mueller could have said Buzzfeed was incorrect, false, wrong, untrue, untruthful....invalid...bottomline Buzzfeed's report was wrong.
