Reuters just published this article, which was written by Stephanie Nebehay, and is titled:
America’s poor becoming more destitute under Trump: U.N. expert
The article’s first paragraph states:
GENEVA (Reuters) – Poverty in the United States is extensive and deepening under the Trump administration whose policies seem aimed at removing the safety net from millions of poor people, while rewarding the rich, a U.N. human rights investigator has found.
For the next seven paragraphs, the article goes on and on with United Nations “expert” Philip Alston explaining how poverty is getting worse under Trump.
Not until the ninth paragraph does the article admit that none of the poverty that’s mentioned in the first eight paragraphs or the article’s title has anything to do with Trump. The ninth paragraph states:
However, the data from the U.S. Census Bureau he cited covers only the period through 2016, and he gave no comparative figures for before and after Trump came into office in January 2017.
This media bias is disgusting.
If Reuters was interested in telling the truth, then the article’s title and first eight paragraphs would have mentioned Obama instead of Trump.
This is journalism in America today
The so-called elitist globalists, leftists and their crony hangers on are in total 360 degree head-spinning vomit spewing mode. They have lost it and are possessed.
Disgusting liars.
It’s not Reuters, it’s the report itself. Makes a great case for defunding the UN.
just so you know.
the UN guy, Philip Alston, is the brother of Australian conservative politician, Richard Alston, who once had Alexander Downer’s High Commissioner job in the UK. here is the brother providing cover and nonsense for Downer, in a paper that is as anti-Trump as NYT & WaPo:
31 Dec 2017: Sydney Morning Herald: Alexander Downer named as crucial link in US investigation into Russian interference
By Michael Koziol
The Australian government went to ground on Sunday after the revelations were published, saying through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade that no comment would be made because the matters were subject to ongoing US investigations. Labor also declined to comment...
Mr Downer did not respond to calls on Sunday, but one of his predecessors as high commissioner, former senator Richard Alston, said there was nothing unusual about Mr Downer’s meeting with Mr Papadopoulos.
“We all mix with interesting people at times,” he said. “You do follow leads, and I don’t find anything particularly odd about that. You don’t necessarily know that someone’s a low-level lackey until you’ve met them, or even afterwards.”...
Mr Alston said intelligence officials would have been responsible for decisions about informing the Americans, not Mr Downer.
“You tell those people and then you leave it up to them. You don’t ask whether they’ve passed it on - they probably wouldn’t tell you anyway,” he said. “They guard their independence quite jealously. They certainly don’t share strategies and things like that with diplomats, even the high commissioner. They do their own thing.”...
On Twitter, many Americans told Mr Downer he was a “hero” and had helped to save democracy in the US...

The US Economy is going gangbusters, but poverty is getting worse. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
International swamp creatures.
We should cut back funding this hive of enemy mouthpieces.
Make them pay their own way for their propaganda.
