NBC. Nothing But Crud

The NBC news editor admits in no uncertain terms that NBC News printed fake news, and that NBC was only leaving
the NBC article up in the interest of transparency despite the fact that “the thrust of the NBC article is no
longer correct” according to NBC News’s own editors.

Nobody of sound mind believes NBC anyway......so this is a big yawn.

Is that a person of color taking a non-derogatory selfie with President Trump?

Is that a woman standing nearby anticipating her own moment meeting the President of the United States?

I thank them all for their service.

I didn't study journalism in college, is "thrust" in journalism a 200-level or 300-level class?

Are news organizations taught how to "thrust" stories on the public?

I think it was CNN that said POTUS Trump brought the Troops a bunch of TRUMP 2020 Hats (which would be unlawful electioneering), which of course he didn’t.

Haven’t heard a peep about that, just something on Twitchy about all the Liberals going on about (the fake) controversy.

Worthless. Absolutely worthless. NBC. MSNBC. CBS. ABC. CNN. The New York Times, The Washington Post. Just plain worthless. I don’t even give them three seconds of attention.

Did anyone in the MSM bother to mention that the Obamas spent every Christmas of his presidency on vacation in Hawaii?

Bear with me if you heard this:

President Trump is having lunch with the Pope on his yacht when the Pope's mitre blows off his head and into the water. President Trump immediately says: "Let me get that for you, your Eminence!" whereupon he vaults over the side of the yacht, proceeds to walk on the water over to the mitre, picks it up, walks back to the yacht, and gracefully vaults fifteen feet back onto the yacht and hands the mitre to the Pope.

Headlines the next day: Trump Can't Swim!

It would be funnier if it weren't true.

Too bad their article didn’t say that OBama went to the same military base in HAWAII every year while on his three week winter vacation.

As to the on-or-before-Christmas vs “Christmastime”, the proverbial twelve days of Christmas are the twelve days after Christmas, ending with The Epiphany, the feast of the Magi, on January 6. The days before Christmas are Advent, the days of preparing for the birth of Jesus.

‘The Thrust of this Article Is No Longer Correct’

No longer correct? As though at one time it was?

NBC is lost in the wilderness. They were paid to take care of the NWO. Unfortunately for them, they are buffoons.

I being approximately the same age as the President, share most of what I think are his points of view, so filter me through that. I do think that his presentation is a bit raw, rough, rude...adjectives that will not sit well with the SnowFlakes.

I just thought that it might be possible that President Trump has out-flanked the various media. A serious dollar value of folks are getting their news from President Trump.

The fake media needs to be verified very microscopically. Those whose lives are dependent upon Media must do all they can to preserve Media. Which brings to mind the idea of a FreeRepublic.com with the capacity to form a network of any number of similar thinking people...or groups.

The 1st Amendment is very "Press" friendly. Good. The Media are not exempt from Libel...therefore, holding the Media responsible for libel when committed might squeeze out a little truth from those who deliver the "news".

“We cannot plausibly deny the negative spin of our article on Trump, even though we still very much want to.”

We don’t need an answer as to who ordered the fake news...

THEY ALL DO FAKE NEWS...

and the suits just keep making the mistake of underestimating our great President Trump. (I love typing “President Trump,” it is soothing.
