The fake news media strikes again
Powerline ^ | December 13. 2019 | Paul Mirengoff

(The Washington Post) begins its latest front page hit piece on President Trump this way:

"On a day in which North Korea issued a fresh threat and a House committee set the stage for his impeachment, President Trump on Thursday found time to insult 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg after she was named Time’s Person of the Year, an honor he has coveted for years."

[snip] Post writers David Nakamura and John Wagner move beyond inanity to intellectual dishonesty in the second paragraph of their report:

UNHINGED: After Fake Reports Fuel Leftist Threats of Death and Violence to Teen Boys, Catholic School Closes But first, it turns out the media didn’t seek out all the facts in their rush to attack the boys. Additional videos of the incident reveal the boys were standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial after the March for Life, waiting for their bus to take them home to Kentucky. The boys were being taunted and attacked verbally by a group called the Black Hebrew Israelites who were shouting insults like “white crackers” and “incest kids.” So the boys started chanting school spirit cheers.

Common fact. It is easier to knock a set of toy blocks down then build and arrange them.

Writers from WaPo and other worthless outlets work doing what they do because they lack any real ability to provide anything tangible for others.

Even being a comedian and taking potshots at the truth is more worthwhile than what our media has degenerated into.

F all of them

The Left could not have a more appropriate mouthpiece — deranged, bratty, self-entitled, and wholly ignorant of how the world works.

“At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child — miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.”

“... Time’s Person of the Year, an honor he has coveted for years."

Do they mean for the three whole years since he was last named Person of the Year?

The mandate for the people who own these media outlets is clearly to undermine and undercut President Trump in any way you can esp through anonymous contacts, real or imaginary.

Therefore, everyone on board, is going to follow that mandate.

What baffles me, is that everytime there is an article about Trump that is true and accurate, people buy it.

For example, I actually subscribed to Time in 2016 becauase they were writing some good articles about him.

I think if these women magazines had Melania on the covers they’d sell more copies.
