Source? Sounds believable but it's the first I've heard of it.

It's because NYT isn't Infowars or Brietbart who print anything.

This fake news thing still gets me, I don't know to laugh or cry or both its so goddamn ridiculous and blatantly hypocritical of the ones spouting it.

I highly doubt that's what is going on here. I would say this is probably less him, and more Fox on continuing damage control.

I was refferring to Trump's Tweets, not that actual article. I assume his team is telling him to continue bashing these "sources" when they arent named to attempt to force them to start naming names. Basically doing his job for him.

Well, I mean, I doubt that, too lol. I think you give Trump way to much credit for foresight.

Huh? Not sure what you mean, news sources have, in fact, referenced White House officials and White House sources many times.

He is trying to discredit anything that is referencing a "source" in the article. Which is very dumb, but his supporters will buy into. So now media needs to avoid that word... Which is also dumb, but everything is dumb at this point...

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
Looks like Melania isn't hold his tiny hand any more and he is back ranting on Twitter.

you know, when russian solution for "leak" is people falling ill on the ground and then coincidentally landing on a knife that result in death, I assume that even the most "honest" source, will think twice or thrice before outing himself...

Fox News is late to the punch here. Administration officials have already been out promoting the fact that Jared kushner did absolutely nothing wrong by promoting the back channel. Now they want to pretend that Russia said this? Can they erase from the internet the past few days?

I haven't looked at the news for a few days. So they actually said "it was okay for him to do that" before today's "he didn't do that"?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, it's hardly the first time. But coordinating with Fox News is new, if that's what's happening here.

Yeah. I expect they figure more and more evidence will come out, so they have to make it seem like what they've done just isn't that bad.

Trump is trying to discredit the press by discrediting any references to "sources". I'm really not sure what you are confused about.

You know what is depressing? 100% of Trump supporters will buy into this insanity! We need media that can play the same insane game that Trump is playing... They should start saying "White House officials".

And I pointed that most media reporting on this have, in fact, used this term and other similar ones in referring to their source. And then you...went somewhere else. So, I'm not sure what your initial point was supposed to be now.

Same here, surprised it took them this long.

Now, anytime there's new breaking info regarding Trump/Russia, I expect a counter-story on Fox. "Well our sources say that thing everyone is talking about didn't happen, so checkmate librulz."

This has been the administration talking point all weekend. I believe McMaster and Conway said the same thing. "Nobody sees anything wrong with establishing a back channel communication".

They technically don't "confirm" it but they are basically confirming it with those talking points. It's a little late to go back to "he absolutely never proposed that"

He only likes sources when it puts him in a good light. And the love he has for Fox News is fucking pathetic.

He literally pulls talking points from Fox & Friends all the time.

More of Trump never able to get his fucking story straight with his cronies as they were all peddling the idea of the back channel being totally ok.

Kudos to Fox News for playing their part in attempting to destroy our democracy though.

I wasn't actually disagreeing with anything you said. The fact that media sometimes says "white house officials" does not mean that they never say "source". It's depressing that we are even having this conversation because none of this even matters. And I don't even want to imply that they can't say it. I just find it depressing that we ended up here because US president is trying to discredit the media.

It's really sad how much of a propaganda machine Fox News is. I guess Rupert Murdoch needs to die or retire to let Fox News become impartial. I feel like his sons are actually sane.

Is it the same source who told them Hillary Clinton was going to be indicted "imminently" a week before the election?
