Washington Post Reporter Slaps Down Wolff's False Claim About Him
Newsbusters ^ | January 8, 2017 | P.J. Gladnick

Even many reporters from liberal publications are questioning the veracity of Michael Wolff's book of gossip, Fire and Fury. The latest such person who reveals just how laughable the vetting process of Wolff's book was is Mark Berman, a reporter at the Washington Post. Wolff placed Berman among others attending a breakfast at the Four Seasons restaurant with Ivanka Trump. It turns out that Berman was most definitely not there and he had a very good reason for not attending as he revealed to anchor Fredricka Whitfield on CNN Newsroom on Saturday.

Facts were strictly a sideshow when Wolff designed his book to extract maximum sales from desperate liberals who were in desperate need of a Trump slamming book. He knew those liberals would gobble up an wild claim about Trump no matter how ridiculous such as the absurdity that EVERY person he talked to said that Trump was like a child. Yeah....riiiiight! But liberals lap it up with their eager wallets open. Ka-CHING!

The best part is how many liberals stood in line for to fork over $20 or more for their latest grasp at hope...

The little weasel novelist brushed this off this morning by saying he just “got the first name wrong.”

He might have brushed all of the lies off, but he got the last laugh - all the way to the bank...

With the little weasel and publisher Houghton Mifflin, it’s just about $$$.
With lunatic liberals, it’s just more evidence of election and power loss psychosis.
There are some mentally disturbed democrat losers out there.

From the CNN interview:

BERMAN: I was a little befuddled, I'm not going to lie. We spent a few minutes in the newsroom trying to figure out who it could have been. We debated well it could have been another reporter named Mark from the Post, we have another one. We weren't sure for a little while. After I tweeted a screen shot of this section of the book listing me, Alex Burns from the New York Times, he suggested that maybe it was Mike Berman, a lobbyist, a very well-known lobbyist in D.C. And I e-mailed him and he confirmed he was there that day.

There will be a YUUUUUUUGE primal scream from the liberals when they finally realize that Trump will be staying put in the White House for the full eight.

This ranks with the fake Howard Hughes biography by scammer Clifford Irving.
IIRC, he wound up in prison.

Now that it’s free there won’t be much of that, since liberals are notoriously cheap. The DUmp is unhappy with it being posted by Wikileaks, even though FREE STUFF is their stock-in-trade.

So many potential humorous epithets could go with this book:

- The liar in Wolff’s clothing

- The author who cried Wolff

- The Big Bad Wolff huffed and puffed...

- Grandma, what big LIES you have

Michael Wolff strikes me as a make Kitty Kelly.
I guess Kelly has retired from such political writing. I presumed she wanted to during the Obama Years, but may have somehow been ‘convinced’ that there were benefits to staying quiet for those long eight years.

I was thinking he is the Kitty Kelly of his generation. Lies upon lies, salacious meanderings, just a lengthy lurid tabloid.

“the very same morning that my second daughter was born. So I don’t think I was at the Four Seasons that day.”

WikiLeaks might have the last laugh since they are giving it away for free.

these people have been watching too many spy movies or something....they go berzerk over a tweet...yea right, a sitting President is going to be removed over the wording of a tweet...crazy stuff. CNN goes crazy over the slightest thing. The date of an e mail...a press release, etc. Man, theyve lost all perspective.
