Lanny Davis has told BuzzFeed News that he was an anonymous source for CNN's Trump Tower bombshell, a story he now disputes. He also regrets lying about his involvement, on CNN's own air, in an interview with Anderson Cooper last week buzzfeednews.com/article/steven…
Lanny Davis called to add that he did not lie to Anderson Cooper, but says he "unintentionally misspoke" re his role in the CNN Trump Tower story buzzfeednews.com/article/steven…
CNN has a new Lanny Davis story out after he told BuzzFeed News yesterday that he was an anonymous source for CNN's Trump Tower story. @jimsciutto reports that the network stands by story, which had more than one source cnn.com/2018/08/28/pol…
@jimsciutto Still kind of a mystery to me why @jimsciutto and @carlbernstein can't just write in their own words that Lanny Davis was one of their sources — he told me so himself on the record! Also lol can BuzzFeed News get a LINK
CBS News, which had confirmed CNN’s Trump Tower story last month thanks to background source Lanny Davis, has also updated its story cbsnews.com/news/updated-c…
Similar situation over at NBC News nbcnews.com/politics/polit…

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

CNN, Credibly Accused of Lying to its Audience About a Key Claim in its Blockbuster Cohen Story, Refuses to Comment theintercept.com/2018/08/28/cnn…
This latest CNN scandal is simple, not complex: Lanny Davis says he was an anonymous source for CNN's blockbuster July 26 story. But CNN told the public he refused to comment. Who is lying? Only CNN can say. Why won't they? theintercept.com/2018/08/28/cnn…
Beyond the CNN scandal, Lanny Davis went all over TV with inflammatory claims he now *admits were false*, but which he leveraged to induce people to donate $160,000 in the name of Cohen's "Truth Fund" that will go to pay Davis. Definitely unethical, arguably charity fraud:

#Trump ajoute la controverse en fin d'1 déjà bien mauvaise soirée pour lui par ce tweet où il utilise 1 dog whistle (message suggéré)clair. Traiter de"dumb" (crétins) le présentateur de CNN Don Lemon et la star du #basket #LeBronJames, tous 2 Afro-Américains"parlera"à sa base. RT
2) En 2017, le General Social Survey de l'université de Chicago établissait que les 2 principaux clichés racistes sur les Afro-Américains- idiots et paresseux- avaient la vie dure chez les républicains. #Trump n'insulte pas #LeBronJames et #Lemon au hasard washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/w…
3) Quant au "#IlikeMike" cryptique de #Trump à la fin de son tweet, il indique sans nul doute la préférence du président pour Michael Jordan, l'ex-star du basket #NBA dont le rang de plus grand joueur de l'histoire est aujourd'hui contesté par #LeBronJames...

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
