Fake news.
They fell for it hook, line and sinker because they wanted it to be true.
When you hate Donald Trump, any means is justified to get rid of him.
We’re long past the point where fake news has become a parody of itself.
If reporters had done their jobs, they wouldn’t have been bamboozled by Buzzfeed.
Poor Jeffrey Toobin is worrying about their reputation. That’s like a prostitute worrying about people finding out she’s not really a virgin.
The Democrat news machine never once stopped to consider Trump might actually be innocent and their trashing the President said a lot more about them than it said about him.
Its not about fake news. Its about our culture and the way our country been ripped by them right down the middle.
The crestfallen faces in news rooms show they’ve learned nothing from the Buzzfeed disaster and in fact they’ll forget everything.
I agree with your analysis.
Imagine the shoe on the other foot. Imagine about 5 years ago, if someone in the Honolulu Records office reported that they were told to lie about Obama’s Hawaiian birth. How would the news media respond?
1. Ignore the story completely. OR
2. Decry how the office of president was not being respected. OR
3. Tell us this is a false story put out by a “birther”.
In other words, any story negative about a Republican President (especially Trump) is immediately blasted across headlines and the airwaves. And the retraction is either not at all or pg b10 in a little box in the corner.
While any story negative toward a Democrat President (especially Obama) is ignored or the people making the charge are called names and the charge itself is ignored.
In general, this has happened all the way back to Nixon, Ford, Carter, Bush, both Clintons and Bush.
