Like another dodo here, CNN fell for fake news again and ran with it. And now that Trump has called them out, and refused to answer their questions at a presser, they are going to cover their butts... Which major news media relies SOLELY on "buzzfeed"? About a president no less. Idiots.
I get it though. They are all still hurting, and they WANT such things to be true, so no need to verify. :)

CNN Statement Distances Network from Buzzfeed Fake News Dossier
CNN has released a statement trying to distance their reports from BuzzFeed’s decision to publish unverifiable memos about to president-elect Donald Trump.
Midday Tuesday, CNN tweeted a full statement from their Twitter account saying,
CNN’s decision to publish carefully sourced reporting about the operations of our government is vastly different than BuzzFeed’s decision to publish unsubstantiated memos. The Trump team knows this. They are using BuzzFeed’s decision to deflect from CNN’s reporting, which has been matched by the other major news organisations.
The statement continues,
We are fully confident in our reporting. It represents the core of what the First Amendment protects, informing the people of the inner workings of their government; in this case, briefing materials prepared for President Obama and President-elect Trump last week. We made it clear that we were not publishing any of the details of the 35-page document because we have not corroborated the report’s allegations.
