Cooper Vs. Conway...

I watched this on Cooper's show last night...

The "interview" was broadcast complete and unedited...

Incredibly, (though not surprisingly) the Trumpanzees are all over the internet crowing about what a great job Kellyanne did...(this complete version of the interview was posted on Youtube by one such alt-reality type)

Judge for yourself:





BTW, the core claim that Conway was finally reduced to in trying to back-up her allegations ...that CNN linked to the Buzzfeed story in it's coverage online...is (surprise surprise) false:

A full blown war broke out between President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team and news network CNN on Wednesday, and one of the points of contention is about one little link in a news story.

The link is at issue because CNN is attempting to distance itself and its reporting on Russian intelligence on Trump from Buzzfeed’s reporting which has been roundly criticized as not meeting standard journalistic practices. CNN’s Jake Tapper went so far as to call Buzzfeed out by name during the course of the network’s response to Trump after yesterday’s press conference. Trump Special Advisor Kellyanne Conway and other Trump surrogates are trying to conflate the two, in an attempt to sink CNN with the lead weight around Buzzfeed’s neck.

@KellyannePolls

Fact-check: Ahead of my spirited interview with @AC360, here is @CNN report linking AND discussing BuzzFeed report.

Unfortunately, her evidence is somewhat lacking, as CNN reporter Jim Sciutto — who was one of the original people to break the story — explained:

@jimsciutto

in fact, @KellyannePolls, this links to @DylanByers story on the controversy: http://money.cnn.com/2017/01/10/media/b ... mp-report/ … Not to buzzfeed story on dossier https://twitter.com/KellyannePolls/stat ... 3897791488

Sciutto accused Conway of a misleading statement because her tweet was a screenshot and no one can actually click on the link – but her claim that they link to the Buzzfeed story is false since it goes to a CNN-Money article instead. In the face of Sciutto’s retort, Conway moved the goalposts:
Kellyanne Conway

@KellyannePolls

Fact, @JimSciutto @DylanByers @AC360 linked article says "BuzzFeed" 15x, "BuzzFeed and Trump Memos" so that ppl search & find 35-page memo https://twitter.com/jimsciutto/status/8 ... 9134788608

@jimsciutto

Fact @KellyannePolls you said repeatedly on our air we LINKED to the buzzfeed story, which we did not, not that a story mentioned its name https://twitter.com/kellyannepolls/stat ... 3631121408

Damn! That was dizzying. I have renewed respect for Anderson Cooper.

"Truth will out"... but not by Trump, nor with help from his team of flunkies. I feel certain Drumpf will give someone grounds for impeachment and, hopefully, sooner than later. I pray he will be repealed and replaced as judiciously as possible.

God bless America.

It is the height of hypocrisy for Donald Trump and his spokesmonkeys to criticize the press for reporting the mere existence of salacious but unsubstantiated allegations, considering he himself uses the freakin' National Enquirer as both his personal propaganda organ and his source for the outlandish accusations he regularly and casually lobs against his opponents. (Remember "Ted Cruz's Dad Killed JFK"?)

Kellyanne Conway is the worst; she never owns up to Trump's atrocious conduct but instead deflects, dissembles, attacks and flat out lies to distract from it, knowing that all she has to do is spew enough crap to run out the clock on any given interview/story. Because the Trump Administration's fire-hose of fuckery splurts out an endless hi-pressure stream of appalling acts.

In order to make it easier for people who don't want to take the time to watch the video, the following is a transcript of their discussion...
Conway: Did too!

Cooper: Did not!

Conway: Did too!

Cooper: Did not!

Conway: Did too!

Cooper: Did not!

Conway: Did too!

Cooper: Did not!

Conway: Did too!

Cooper: Did not! (then after Kellyanne left, Cooper added, "Did not!")

I've been binge watching Games of Thrones for days now and remain somewhat oblivious to the controversy, excepting what I've read here and a brief skim of stomach-turning headlines online.

I just want to say that I think Ms. Conway is an uglier Cersei and should also definitely be forced to atone for her sins - I would SO love to see that! :ok

Anderson Cooper is da bomb. :ok
