Once again Buzzfeed has committed journalistic malpractice. This time by simply creating an article title that implies one thing while burying the truth deep in the article. So the headline is some Russkie gets a $500K payment after Trump Tower meeting. Boom! Evidence of collusion, right? Left wing nuts will never read anything more than this and will be crying from the rooftops that they finally have the smoking gun, right?
Except buried deep in the article and with little fanfare it turns out that the payment came from none other than Fusion GPS, the firm illegally hired by the Hillary campaign to collude with the Russians to manufacture oppo research on Trump. So the guy was paid $500K by the Hillary campaign through their cutouts but the headline clearly implies he got paid by Trump as a result of the meeting. You see folks, this why the term Fake News exists and why it is so accurate.
Think Gawker here......it's only a matter of time.......
