Media Corruption On Perfect Display In One Washington Post Paragraph
The Federalist ^ | September 23, 2019 | Mollie Hemingway

Posted on 09/23/2019 10:39:37 AM PDT by yoe

Every single assertion of this paragraph isn't just wrong, but the opposite of right. In each sentence, Trump is being blamed for things his political opponents have done.

ABC News’ White House correspondent Karen Travers approvingly tweeted out a paragraph of a front-page Washington Post rant written by Philip Rucker, Robert Costa, and Rachel Bade. The paragraph comes from their cri de coeur headlined “Trump’s Ukraine Call Reveals A President Convinced Of His Own Invincibility.”

[snip]

" Trump’s sense of himself as above the law has been reinforced throughout his time in office."


TOPICS: Crime/Corruption; Government; News/Current Events; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: biden; fakenews; molliehemingway; trump; trumpukraine; trumpukrainecall; ukraine; wapo; yellowjournalism
"Elites in the media, government, and political institutions have discussed ousting him through the 25th amendment, impeachment, manipulation of the economy, and other extreme measures. Fired FBI director James Comey was found to have violated Trump’s civil liberties when he violated FBI policies governing investigations. Rucker, Costa, and Bade, it might be noted, provide no evidence in support of their regurgitation of the Resistance talking point that Trump views himself as above the law."

" As detailed in the Mueller report, he received help from a foreign adversary in 2016 without legal consequence.""He sought to thwart the Russia investigation and possibly obstruct justice without consequence."

[Here, Rucker, Costa, and Bade blame Trump for not sitting silently while being falsely accused of being a traitor who had colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election.]

"Through the government, he has earned profits for his businesses without consequence."

[The Washington Post has been absolutely desperate to make some kind of financial impropriety case against Trump.]

Just a few excerpts from Hemingway's article....it is outrageous how the WoPo and NYT,etc. mislead their readers, it is fair to say, (a reader can rely on the date, if it is today's paper) anything printed about President Trump is 96% fake news, especially by these "reporters".

“Cry de coeur’’. “Cry of the heart en franchise.

Mollie is great. BUT, it's not hard being the best journalist in the land if there is only ONE :)

Wasn’t the Wash Poo an accomplice in planting fake news items at the request of federal officials who then used such news articles as evidence for a need of wiretaps and investigations?
