CNN’s reporting on the Trump-Russia dossier has left out at least one
crucial fact: the close ties between the network and the opposition
research firm at the center of the dossier controversy.
CNN’s reporting on the dossier, led by justice correspondent Evan Perez, has
been favorable to the firm, Fusion GPS, and hyped the dossier’s
credibility. Left out of Perez’s reporting, which has relied largely on
unnamed sources, is his personal closeness to Fusion GPS’ operatives.
Fusion has repeatedly been described in Senate testimonies as a
smear-for-hire operation that manufactures misleading or false media
narratives for its clients.
Glenn Simpson, the Fusion co-founder most often
associated with the dossier, is used to working on stories with Perez.
As reporters at The Wall Street Journal, Perez and Simpson regularly co-authored stories on national security.
Another Fusion founder, Tom Catan, worked as a reporter for the Journal at the same time as Perez and Simpson. The third Fusion co-founder, Peter Fritsch, worked above Perez and Simpson as the senior national security editor.
