Fake News: Media Reports State Dept. ‘Mass Resignation,’ Officials Actually Fired
Breitbart ^ | January 26, 2017 | by JOHN HAYWARD

Posted on 01/26/2017 5:18:53 PM PST by Jim Robinson

Today’s Fake News freakout began with a buzzing swarm of headlines about “mass resignations” by the “entire senior level of management officials” at the State Department resigning in some stunning act of protest against President Trump. Before long, we learned we were talking about four people, and they did not resign, they were fired.

“The State Department’s Entire Senior Management Team Just Resigned,” gasped the Washington Post, prompting a ripple of secondary headlines across mediaspace. Some of those headlines were a bit more cautious, such as the Jerusalem Post reporting that the State Department team resigned “in a possibly coordinated walkout.”

As it turns out, that “walkout” was coordinated by the Trump administration:

They know what they’re doing. Like with the MLK bust thing. Damage has already been done.

Any time the press reports something we have to assume it is a lie, generated for political reasons. These people deserve every bit of scorn and ridicule they receive.

Let’s hope the IRS is next.

Then he can move on to the EPA

Maybe he can get around sometime to dissolving Freddie Mae and Fannie Mae

And don’t forget to audit the Fed

That makes more sense than a group of liberal Gov’t officials to resign on their principles.

Sean Spicer needs to keep a list of these #FAKENEWS items and at the beginning of each WH press briefing he needs to read some of them.

This will set the proper tone at the beginning of each WH press briefing.

Basically saying, you (msm) are liars and we know it. Here are some recent examples. This is why we (Trump administration) don’t trust you. You are the opposition!!

Any questions?
