This kind of reporting is so irresponsible. The way they write it is supposed to make the unwashed think that a US President speaking to the Boy Scout Jamboree is some sort of evil aberration that hasn't occurred in ages. There was only one president since George W. Bush who did not address the BSA and that was Barack Hussein Obama. Newsweek has sunk to the lowest level of biased, fake news bilge imaginable. And I'm sure they are busy creating even lower levels as we speak.
You beat me to it.
The correct way to present this sentiment:
“As opposed to his immediate predecessor, who shunned the Boy Scouts and all the positive qualities they embrace, President Trump continued the long-standing US tradition...”
Lies by omission are still damned lies.
Newsweak lies.
Stalinists lie. Always
That’s what first caught my eye! That line you quoted.
This idiot didn’t want to mention that Obama didn’t address the BSA for eight years in office! Seven of the last eleven sitting Presidents made an appearance there.
This writer just refused to report that Obama was such a sorry President that he was the first President in over 40 years to refuse to address the BSA Jamboree!!
