MORE FAKE NEWS FROM THE TRUMP-RESISTING WASHINGTON POST
Powerline ^ | 08/07/19

Posted on 08/07/2019 10:12:56 AM PDT by Liberty7732

The top headline in today’s Washington Post (paper edition) reads: “Trump faces rising anger over mass shootings.” In a sub-headline, the Post says: “Grieving cities spurn his outreach.”

This is fake news. The cities of El Paso and Dayton aren’t “spurning” Trump’s outreach. The mayors of both cities say they will greet Trump.

El Paso’s mayor said:

He’s coming out here on Wednesday, and I want to clarify for the political spin that this is the office of the mayor of El Paso in an official capacity welcoming the office of the president of the United States, which I consider is my formal duty.

The mayor of Dayton said:

He’s the president of the United States. When he comes as president I will greet him.

As we learned yesterday with the NY Times headline , the liberal news mouthpieces must be blatantly anti Trump.

It appears that the liberal radical types out there, want to be more bold than ever, in twisting and slanting news coverage.

It's hard to be any more bold with their Left Wing vitriol and lies.

Subversive elements is what you should call the modern day slanted biased media.

It is no longer about impartiality or just report the facts.. it is smear and lie, concoct and barrage,,

No shame, no blame, just spew hatred for this country and what it stands for, flaws and all.

How about this excerpt from their article on MSN News: People are signing petitions, planning protests and, in Dayton, organizing a demonstration featuring an inflated “Baby Trump” to express their discontent with a president whose anti-immigrant rhetoric was echoed by a gunman who killed 22 people in El Paso. And while the motive of the man who killed nine people in Dayton remains unclear, Trump’s silence on the issue of guns has been criticized by local officials who want action to prevent future massacres.

"And while the motive of the man who killed nine people in Dayton remains unclear" - I think it's clear his motivation was as a Left Wing Liz Warren Supporter.

All day long we’ve been treated to this “news” clown on WOKV-Jacksonville, Florida, claiming that former Democrat FBI agent Peter Strzok was fired “because he made a negative comment about Trump”. (worded in a way to make uninformed people believe a lie)

“Trump faces rising anger over mass shootings”

This is how they pin the murders on Trump. The left is nothing but a cesspool of lying mentally deranged bastards.

“Twisted news has NEVER BEEN WORSE.”

I was at the gym this morning and they had the TV monitors tuned in to CNN. I never heard anything like it in my life - with all the lies and distortions. Abyss beneath abyss of lying propaganda.

I thought I saw that the El Paso mayor backed out of the meeting.

There are entire books on diplomacy. It goes back 100s of years. Today’s cult of personality media soundbite frenzy is seemingly unaware of how it works.

For international diplomacy there are even “code words” that are used in official statements, each to express a greater level of appreciation or dissatisfaction. For example, if a country is ‘dismayed’ by an action, it is not as bad as if they ‘deplore’ that action. Language matters. Decorum matters.
