Apparently, some members of the mainstream media cannot help themselves: their hatred for Donald Trump is so intense that they engage in misconduct almost guaranteed to be exposed, and thereby reinforce the Trump narrative that they are dishonest. It is an exercise in self-destruction that suggests deep psychological issues.
Alex Griswold of Mediaite has the story. Ari Fleisher, whose interview was doctored to reverse his intentions, tweeted his protest:
@Nightline proves Spicer right about MSM's dedication to negativity. Here is what I told them in a taped interview: 1/4
Having been caught, ABC apologized:

How long until conspiracy theorists on the left start claiming that Trump has infiltrated the MSM with agents who set up fake news for him to criticize? The only alternative theory is that the MSM are so consumed with Trump hatred that they cannot be trusted.
What would Occam say?

“It looks to me if the ball was dropped on Saturday, Sean recovered it and ran for a 1st down on Monday.” 2/4

Here is how they chopped my quote: “It looks to me if the ball was dropped on Saturday” after ABC referred to “deliberate falsehoods.” 3/4

If this is how the press reports, Trump is right to go after them. 4/4

Whats next? Are they going to Plant Explosives in a Pickup Truck and make it explode while blaming the Manufacturer for a Faulty Design??
More fake news. What a shockah!
They “apologized” because they got caught. They are not about to stop editing, twisting, lying, and omitting to make Donald look bad.Each time you turn on these people it helps them.
The press corps should be moved to a tent outside the fence.
We’ll be putting up with this chit for the next 8 years.
Have fun!
Make them pay for the tent
great...and ABC gets the first interview with Pres. Trump.
looks like it will be a pre-recording.
This is worse than an incomplete story.
Chopping a sentence in half? Really?
Shame on ABC.
You deserve to be marginalized.
Amen!
IMO - there should be a 90 day suspension - no Trump admin interviews, no access to briefings/briefing room/press facilities at the WH. 2nd offense - 6 mo suspension. 3rd offense, they’ve struck out - banned during the rest of the Trump administration.
#4, I heard a rumor being repeated by McCain that Dan Rather has a source that will be providing Official Documents proving Trump went AWOL while serving on the USS Arizona, feel asleep with stationed at the Radar Unit at Opana on the early Morning of Dec. 7th, 1941 and deserted at The Battle of Antietam .
Always interesting how they apologize after being caught out.
I told my wife this morning to get used to the media lies and distortions as it will continue for four years - they will never change. Oh, and they will ensure a Trump landslide in 2020.
About 70% of the voters in polls associated Hillary Clinton with the words liar and untruthful.
The American public associates most MSM with biased journalism.
So many people I know just roll their eyes when a story comes out against Trump.
The media is in for a very harsh lesson from which they may never recover.
You forgot one. Did he or did he not, fire BEFORE he saw the whites of their eyes at the Battle of Bunker Hill?!
The MSM have not learned a damn thing from the campaign. Their blatant bias and lies are part of the reason Trump won. They will help Trump get re-elected in 2020. What a bunch of idiots.
