You know those ‘debates’ you come across every once in a while on Twitter where you literally stop, read the entire thing and think to yourself, ‘Ummm … wow.’
Ummm … wow.
That’s all.
Sean Davis doesn’t seem to buy CNN’s claim they just guessed from gathered intel that Roger Stone would be getting arrested in the wee hours of the morning by a huge group of FBI agents in full out garb. When you say it out loud like that it does seem sort of implausible.
Nobody, not even CNN, believes that CNN sent a full camera crew to a single house in South Florida before dawn because it noticed "unusual grand jury activity" (which by law is secret) in…Washington, D.C. It was tipped by someone in law enforcement, and everybody knows it.

We can think of someone who believes it.
A giant nag who thinks he owns the narrative around the media and sorta looks a little bit like George Costanza with no sense of humor.
You're revealing your ignorance about the news business again. This is how newsgathering works.

There he is.
Good ol’ Bri, always there to defend the poor media, especially when it’s his precious CNN.
I'm pretty sure leaks are part of how newsgathering works.

Oof.
Sean went on … and this is where it gets seriously and truly brutal.
Hey, if you want to grab some popcorn for a really good read stop here and GO GET IT.
Like that time you gathered up those e-mails from @DonaldJTrumpJr from "multiple sources" with a fabricated date? Or like that time you peddled lies from Lanny Davis yet claimed that Lanny Davis didn't tell you anything? So much news gathering. https://t.co/6YvTrGAhLM
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) January 25, 2019
So much ‘newsgathering’.
Or was it like that time you gathered up the news, which was so fake that even Mueller had to come out and say it was fake, that Trump told Cohen to lie to Congress about a non-deal that Trump Jr. already told Congress about? That kind of news gathering? https://t.co/6YvTrGAhLM
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) January 25, 2019
See?! We TOLD you to get the popcorn.
Or are you talking about the kind of "news gathering" in which James Clapper leaks to CNN and then lies about it, @brianstelter? That kind of hardscrabble, shoeleather news gathering? https://t.co/3j3toWR0mH
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) January 25, 2019
Whoa. Nelly.
Maybe @brianstelter is talking about the kind of stellar "news gathering" in which his own network falsely accused a bunch of kids for attacking a "Vietnam veteran" who never served in Vietnam. Tell me more about your amazing news operation! https://t.co/fBdEH3vGI4

SLAY DUDE SLAY!
I'm not even mad at CNN, @brianstelter. I'm impressed. Y'all finally got a leak that wasn't pure, uncut fake news. You should take a victory lap!
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) January 25, 2019
We’re mad at CNN, but that’s another story.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, no, we didn’t see Brian respond to Sean again BUT we did see him subtweeting like … well, like Brian Stelter.
Millions of people are being sold cheap lies about journalism today, and millions are being told the truth. The difference is stark and sad.

Lame.
