Some Fake News About Me from Bloomberg
Scott Adams' Blog ^ | 22 Mar, 2017 | Scott Adams

Posted on 03/22/2017 4:55:46 PM PDT by MtnClimber

Last autumn, before the election, a writer for Bloomberg asked to spend a day with me to interview me for a feature piece about my blogging on Trump, and my life in general. I could tell from the initial conversation that it was going to be a hostile article.........

I quickly determined that agreeing to the interview would be foolhardy. Obviously it was going to be a hit piece......

If I agreed to the interview, I knew I would be making myself the target of ridicule and shame, baring my flaws to the world – both the real ones and the fake news ones. No rational person would agree to such an interview. It was a suicide mission.

So I agreed to the interview............

Regular readers know I don’t experience embarrassment like normal people. I just thought it would be funny to have them write about how wrong I was… just as the election was about to prove how right I was.

When the writer asked to speak to my brother, for background, I told him it was a hit piece, but I invited him to do it anyway, just for fun. Obviously, no sane person would agree to be interviewed for hit piece on his own family.

So my brother agreed to the interview.

We’ll have a good laugh about it later today. He got framed as a gullible idiot for “believing” something my mom told us when we were kids.

Check the article here and see if you can spot the fake news and the places where context has been tweaked to make things look both true and misleading at the same time. I’ll tell you what you missed, if anything, after you read it. Compare your impressions to my Fake News Report Card below.

A funny story about how the left-wing press distorts things.

Yea, I looked her up. Sadly a male of my age can only do so much...so no hope there.

That might perk you up. 8>) I’m no spring chicken either but I think somehow I might manage to act young for a little while. On top of it she doesn’t sound like she is a dizzy girl either.

Ha! I knew it.

The second picture is of Emily Ratajkowski, who's not as hot as Kristina Basham, Scott's girlfriend.

I have been following Adams' Twitter, Periscope & blog since last July.

SOB held out on everybody about Kristina until the second or third debate between the God-Emperor & Skankles. 😀

Looks like in that picture Kristina "persuaded" Scott to take her to Maui, AGAIN. LOL!

Wonder how she does it...? 😀

Remember:

I am not as good as I once was.
But I am as good once as I ever was.

Libtard MSM types are thoroughly dishonest, every last one of them. They could not be honest and do the stuff they do.
