NBC Falsely Suggests Trump Talked of ‘Terror’ in Sweden
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/20/2017 7:40:46 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

The MSM is falsely portraying President Trump as having alleged on Saturday that a “terror” attack had occurred the night before in Sweden. Take, for example, this NBC story headlined “Donald Trump Explains Sweden Terror Comment That Baffled a Nation.” In addition to the misleading headline, the story includes a video clip of President Trump making his remarks. The chyron at the bottom of the screen reads “President Trump appears to refer to a non-existent terror incident in Sweden.”

But if you listen to the president’s remarks, you’ll see that he never mentioned terror. He said: “The bottom line: we’ve got to keep our country safe. You look at what’s happening in Germany. You look at what’s happening last night in Sweden. Sweden! Who would believe this? Sweden! They took in large numbers, they’re having problems like they never thought possible.”

View the videos of Pres. Trump's statement and the Tucker Carlson segment here.

NBC Falsely Suggests Trump Talked of ‘Terror’ in Sweden

The morons in the lefty press take a statement and "punch it up" by putting words in his mouth that he never said. It plays well with their idiotic followers, but is gross distortion of the truth.

I’m not even sure if the media really knows why they are hated.

A lot of their stuff is lies. I do think they sit around and strategize their “narrative” so that they can a tell a story that they really want to tell.

But a fair amount seems to be people in the media just “hearing” what they want to hear.

Trump says: “Sweden has problems.”
Media hears: “Terror attacks are sweeping Sweden.”
And then the media tells the public that Trump is lying about the terror attacks in Sweden.

This is pathological.

Because rape and violent crime isn’t terror?

The media knows exactly what it’s doing. They know that the public is composed of a bunch of idiots, and so they broadcast a lie.

One thing that President Trump does is he drops something each time he speaks...this time he dropped ‘Sweden’ and the media knew exactly what he meant: They know about what is happening there and haven't printed a word about it...fell into the “Trump Web” again...

Well, this made people wonder what was going on, so people who have a brain began to research it and there it is:

“Sweden is the ‘Rape City’ of the world”...

The media has egg all over it's face, why didn't they talk about it, do they think if it isn't reported on it will go away? No, they knew that President Trump knew about what was going on and didn't want to give any credit for President Trump knowing about it, just like with Paris, just like with Germany, just like with San Beradino, just like with Orlando....

They are trying their hardest to ‘run’ President Trump like that have with all the other Presidents and can't do it...and it is making them look like the fools that they are...

The MSM still has the mindset they are the sole dispensers of information and they can keep us in the dark.

They really haven’t adjusted - shockingly - to the existence of the internet.

I suppose that’s what combating ‘fake news’ was all about. Rather than adapt, they wanted to destroy social media, boards, and other methods of sharing information.

Now people go online and see what’s happening in Sweden.

True true. The political press is desipcable. It preys on the gullibility of the public, and it does so to advance its own agendas.

President Trump said: “You look at what’s happening last night in Sweden. Sweden! Who would believe this? Sweden! They took in large numbers, they’re having problems like they never thought possible.”


Is President Trump being ‘dumb like a fox’?

Consider this. If Trump had left two words, ‘last night’, out of his comment, nobody, (excepting FReepers), would have paid any attention to the fact that Sweden has a major Muslim problem that they have brought upon themselves.

But because Trump added ‘last night’ to his statement, the entire world is talking about the Muslim problem in Sweden that maybe did not happen last night, but has certainly happened many times in the past decade.

I don’t think being raped is a calm and soothing event.

"Because rape and violent crime isn’t terror?"

Exactly. As if they aren't operating to some plan.

I next expect NBC to say that President Trump said this:

“Captain Crunch is a space alien with antennae that broadcasts out SHOW TUNES! He’s gay and a threat to our tin can industry! Only a robot can save us now, and his name is ZOIDBERG! Why not Zoidberg? I’ll tell you why not. PUPPIES MAKE FINE SOUP! I hate the color purple, it’s too shaggy, like on the Three Stooges show! You cannot leave teh Iterwebz they is forever. Even this statement. OMG I get so much with this, this caste will I wish them do some thing about it. I mean, should you at some point arrrrrrrrrrrcquire some tincture of articulation and decide, hey, you’ve got the champagne chilled and the brie toasted or whatever the hell it is that they do with brie out there. I mean, you can’t use the stuff in a fondue and putting it on a Ritz cracker is pretty déclassé, so what are you really gonna do with it? I dunno. Which brings me to my next topic: why is it better to use a strawberry in a chocolate fondue than, say, an asparagus? At least you can dip the asparagus without getting your fingers burned. Sure, it makes your pee stink but it’s better than hearing Tina Brown squeal when you’re farting in the Atlantic boardroom, especially if you’ve been cheating with the pickled eggs like somebody I know but I’ll never do it again. I mean, who wants to pretend that the thin veneer of civilization is really all about THAT, Fondue, that is. You can’t fondue a pickled egg. Are you crazy?”

They will claim he said it with a straight face and with no evidence.

They really are out of control.
