Mexico, US both say Associated Press Misreported Trump-Nieto Phone Call
Wash Times ^ | 2.1.17 | Dave Elridge

Mexico said Wednesday that the Associated Press’ account of a call Friday between President Trump and his Mexican counterpart is inaccurate.

“The assertions that you make about said conversation do not correspond to the reality of it,” the Mexican government said in a statement on the wire service’s reporting.

“The tone was constructive,” according to a statement from Mexico’s foreign relations department, “and it was agreed by the presidents to continue working and that the teams will continue to meet frequently to construct an agreement that is positive for Mexico and for the United States.”

So the AP, WaPo and hundreds of other media outlets ran with the OBVIOUS FAKE story about Trump threatening to invade Mexico, leading to many hundreds of thousands of re-tweets, facebook stories etc. I hope Spicer rips them a new one tomorrow.

Not sure, but “idiot” and “AP writer” are synonymous.

FAKE NEWS vomited forth from the AP. Send these lying wire service FICTION WRITERS to the back of the room for White House press conferences — save the front row for HONEST REPORTERS..

When a wire service does this, simply withdraw their press pass for 90 days.

It is looking like America’s illustrious press is looking like that bad pooch who pooped on the new rug. Their reputation will get their noses rubbed in their mess. Press Secretary Sean Spicer will make good of that tomorrow.

Bad doggy!

for the record:

Trump to Mexico: Take care of 'bad hombres' or US might
By VIVIAN SALAMA (AP)


WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump warned in a phone call with his Mexican counterpart that he was ready to send U.S. troops to stop "bad hombres down there" unless the Mexican military does more to control them, according to an excerpt of a transcript of the conversation obtained by The Associated Press.

The MSM lies because it is not interested in reporting, but is obsessed with destroying Trump.

Yes they did. I actually CNN (of all places) correct the report, but it was too late. It’s not out there in cyberspace, and liberal on Twitter are running with this fake news as fact.

Yep, saw a gaggle of tweets from msm “journalists” pushing the story for hours today. Correction is too little too late, and they know it. And it is intentional.

The horrible thing about these Fake news items is they’re almost impossible to get rid of.
I just googled “Trump Mexico” and ABC’s headline Trump says get rid of Bad Hombres or We Will, pops up. Now at least a couple headlines of denial pop up too. Earlier all the headlines were “Trump To Send Military Troops to Mexico”

Spicer has to spend half his pressers defending against FAKE NEWS.

Have all the rest vote their approval or disaproval and then have a discussion on how they fix their obvious #fakenews creation right in the press conference.

It is. I would see them Tweet something false during the campaign, and it would get 1,000+ retweets. Then they would proceed to issue a correction which would get minimal retweets and not delete the original Tweet - thus leaving the fake news out there in cyberspace. These journalists don’t even care about objectivity anymore. The veneer is gone.
