They’re both founders of the Fake News Consortium. It’s like a mental patient calling the other patient “crazy”.
None of the MSMLSD and associated peripheral news sites are in anyways believable; they’re great comedy though.
Ofc the mediascum “reporter” has to mis-represent Brady’s words, that’s what libtard scumbags do.
Correcting the story afterwards is better than nothing, but the “fake news” has already flown around and damage has been done (making Brady’s teammates think he condemned them, when actually he said everyone should make their own choice).
Ofc I wouldn’t mind at all if Brady wanted to condemn leftists who won’t visit the WH under Trump, but that’s not what he did. Obviously he prefers to stay out of the political fray on this, and that is his right.
USA made a change to the article and still got it wrong, plus they left the headline the same.
