Associated Press Engulfed in CNN-Level Scandal as It Covers Up Invention of Pruitt Meeting

The Associated Press is at it again, pushing more fake news. Sadly, the once-great news wire service is trying to cover up its mistake—nearly the exact mistake that cost three editorial staffers at CNN their jobs in a scandal that first exploded a week ago today.

A Breitbart News investigation has led to the correction by the Associated Press–which originally resisted–of the fake news it printed as deeper questions of responsibility, accountability, and journalistic ethics consume the AP heading into Fourth of July weekend.

This time, the Associated Press invented an imaginary meeting between EPA administrator Scott Pruitt and Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris, and then alleged that some kind of impropriety happened as a result.

This is exactly the same mistake CNN made a week ago, when it alleged that Anthony Scaramucci—the founder of SkyBridge Capital and an associate and ally of President Donald Trump—held “meetings” with Russian investment fund leaders and was under investigation by the Senate Intelligence Committee and Treasury Department as a result.

“Administrator Scott Pruitt did not meet privately with Andrew Liveris, the CEO of Dow,” Liz Bowman, the EPA’s spokeswoman, told Breitbart News. “The AP article is inaccurate and misleading. Despite multiple attempts to provide the Associated Press with the facts, this article has not been corrected.”

The AP doesn't want or need facts.

I doubt we’ll be lucky enough to have two guys in a row ready to slap huge lawsuits on the media, but this Dow guy certainly has a case, and he should slap them - if only to start trying to hold the media accountable.

Trump’s tweeting is crass and boorish at times, but

at least he isn’t George W. Bush. In the process of allowing himself to be a punching bag, Bush - most Republican politicians - allowed us to be used as a punching bag. Trump stands up for us.

IMHO in getting the journalists ^{propagandists} attacking his “unpresidential” tweets he has them on the wrong foot. While he stands up for us, they try to separate us from Trump. It can’t work. Sure, his tweets are “unpresidential” - as if the MSM were opposed to having Trump - having any non- socialist politician - look "unpresidential.” Trump is in an ugly fight - and he is fighting ugly.

Maybe they are responsible for casting the POTUS in an “unpresidential” light.

The Democrat Propaganda Machine (the MSM) is falling apart from the weight of its own mendacity as Trump’s Truth exposes them for what they are.
