What your stupid ass is having trouble with is understanding how what Conasan said about Powell is fundamentally germane to the story. The New York Times article is built around what Conasan said about Powell, MT Jockstrap. The New York Times article quoted what Conasan said about Powell, MT Jockstrap. It really doesn't matter whether Conasan is right or wrong to understand that flighty, Yahoo and CNBC are mendaciously misrepresenting what the New York Times reported about Conasan's remark by ignoring what is boldly highlighted below, MT Jockstrap.

Surely Powell has been asked this by somebody else and he would confirm what Conasan said. Why is that so hard? I am gonna research and see if I can find it. You should be the one supporting your claim but you are too bust making up nicknames.
Honestly I am gonna see if I can find a confirmation of it and get back to you. May be later today I am always busy on fridays.
I did find this just now.
" The New York Times said journalist Joe Conason first reported the talk in his forthcoming book about Bill Clinton’s life after the presidency, “Man of the World: The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton.”
An advanced copy the newspaper received states that Hillary Clinton spoke with Powell during a dinner party in Washington, D.C., hosted by Madeleine Albright, another former secretary of State.
Former secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and Condoleeza Rice also attended the festivities, which occurred at Albright’s home.
“Toward the end of the evening, over dessert, Albright asked all of the former secretaries to offer one salient bit of counsel to the nation’s next top diplomat,” Conason wrote.
“Powell told [Clinton] to use her own email, as he had done, except for classified communications, which he had sent and received via a State Department computer,” he added.
“Saying that his use of personal email had been transformative for the department, [Powell] thus confirmed a decision she had made months earlier — to keep her personal account and use it for most messages.”
The Times said Conason is a longtime defender of the Clintons and interviewed both Bill and Hillary for his book.
Powell’s office released a statement late Thursday saying he had no recollection of the dinner conversation.
Powell did write Hillary Clinton an email memo, the Times said, detailing his use of his personal email account for unclassified messages “and how it vastly improved communications within the State Department.”
Hillary Clinton also had a 2009 email exchange with Powell about his email practices at State after deciding to use a personal account there."
