Or about how many think this was some "secret". Or that the deal was "secret" when it's a public company and you can find the deal on the P&O web site.

"Not Secret" isn't the same as even moderately well publicized. The President apparently didn't know about it. He gets a daily briefing. Why should most of the rest of us have been aware of it?

Not as sad as how many media outlets said "6" because that's what Chuck Schumer said.

If Old Lizard Face said the sun rose this morning, I'd look outside to check.

Ugh.. More confusion and misinformation.

The President KNEW ABOUT THE DEAL. He knew it was going through the review process.

This has been totally twisted and maligned by the media and spread by the dingbat TV commentators.

He wasn't told it was approved until later. There are HUNDREDS of these deals every year that go through the review process and are approved. You think the first thing that done when it's approved, is a phone call to the President??

This "President didn't know" hogwash is among the more frustrating aspects over this entire ridiculous episode.

"Secret" is being used to indicate some nefarious plot to keep us in the dark because there is something to hide.

I'm saying nobody was hiding anything, the media simply didn't get the facts right.

I didn't know how many ports there were. Of course, I didn't care.
