So, apparently some internet troll emailed a congressman (John Mcain, maybe? I don't really remember) some fanfic he wrote. The fanfic was in the form of a UK intelligence report that said all sort of crazy things about Trump and his collusion with the Russian. I think at one point there was a detailed account of how trump performed sexual anime (hentai) acts for the Russians??? It was forwarded to the FBI or some shit and then eventually buzzfeed got a hold of it and posted it yesterday because they have literally no standards. I skimmed over the "report", and I immediately dismissed it as nonsense. In my recent past I spent some time in the US intelligence community where I wrote and read thousands of intel reports, including ones from nations that are part of five eyes. That bullshit report had its classification way the fuck off (it was classified as confidential, in the UK classification system it should've been classified as Secret at least since it dealt with a potential future president), the style of writing was way the fuck off from any UK intel document I read, and the formatting was just flat out wrong. Anyone with any sort of expertise would be able to immediately spot it as a fake, including any sort of respectable journalist. That is probably why CNN distanced themselves from it during the initial article, they knew that there was no way they could verify that load of crap.
Last night CNN placed a link to the buzzfeed article, which was based off that bogus document along with some other Russia nonsense on their front page last night. Earlier today Trump held a press conference. At the beginning of the conference Pence, and some other dude who I don't remember immediately denounced the media. During the Q&A session of the conference, he denied CNN any questions, saying they were "fake news" I thought it was all pretty hilarious and very well warranted. It is a nice change from the cloak and dagger doubletalking bullshit that the government and their intelligence agencies have been pulling for nearly the past 3 decades. Fuck, now that I think about it that has been my entire life (I turn 30 in 6 days)
EDIT: I should post links, I think
