“How do you know the news is fake? Because you don’t like it?”


NO, because it is all unsourced!

Only an idiot like SeekAndFind ignores that all the sources cited were “anonymous” and used words like “maybe” and “could have” and “likely”; all of which indicate opinions and a lack of factual basis!

EXCERPT:

At least three top national security officials — Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and Rex Tillerson, who is awaiting confirmation to lead the State Department — have told associates they were not aware of details of the directive until around the time Trump signed it. Leading intelligence officials were also left largely in the dark, according to U.S. officials.

Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations committee, said that despite White House assurances that congressional leaders were consulted, he learned about the order in the media.
