Your """""argument""""" is based on strenuous, unconfirmed information (at BEST) from left-leaning news organizations that have posted fake news about Annoying Orange in the past, and it requires a hell of a lot more extrapolations and assumptions than reasonably allowed.
To argue that point, you'd have to believe that:
* the Steele Dossier was 100% factual, even the "Golden Showers" part
* Rudy Giuliani talking out of his ass is an honest and reliable source
* The Guardian article is to be taken as fact, even though there are no sources (keep in mind this conspiracy theorist wrote that it was "heavily sourced")
* CNN is an honest and reliable source, despite spreading fake news constantly
* the writer of this article doesn't have a clear inherent bias against Donald Annoying Orange, which is definitely not the case ("the REGIME"? are you loving kidding me?)
The idea of "pushing the system" was brought against Obama too, which makes it even more suspicious that it's being brought up now that the most controversial figure in the last couple of years is the leader of the free world.
All in all, more conspiratorial stuff. It is a smug liberal blogger using very large complicated words to say "TRIMP'S LTORAALY HEETLR". You'd have expected people to catch on to that, and you'd be wrong.

Actually Mathew I'm impressed. Your post was very well written.

CNN is a pretty reliable source. All news outlets repost news articles from other sites. If a fake news article formulates from the depths of the internet and makes it to the spotlight, CNN is going to be one of the first to report it.
There's a clear difference between POSTING fake news, something almost every major news company does from time to time, and MAKING fake news, something only a select few of really unreliable websites churn out on a daily basis

And don't forget. Looking at wikileaks is illegal. Only journalists and CNN are allowed to look at it and tell you about it.

I didn't say they made up stories. I know the "Steele Dossier" in full was posted by Buzzfeed and then reported on by CNN. That doesn't make them any more reliable, and compound onto that the abnormally high rate at which stuff like this occurs for them.
