Nolte: Washington Post’s Amber Phillips Spreads Fake News About Cost of Isopropyl Alcohol
Breitbart ^ | 04/24/2020 | John Nolte

Posted on 04/25/2020 8:38:28 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

And so, rather than inform the public of a fairly common household chemical that might save your family’s lives, the hideous Amber Phillips chose to annihilate this glimmer of hope and “own” Trump by spreading the wildly fake news that isopropyl alcohol is insanely expensive — a whopping $2,375!!......

(Snip)

At the bottom, highlighted in red, and something Phillips hopes you don’t notice, is the per fluid ounce price of just $0.34. I mean, wow, at that price per ounce, how can this wonderful household item cost $2,375???

The more important arrow, however, is off to the left… Deliberately cropped out in Phillips’ tweet — what this Washington Post “reporter” did not want you to see, what is intentionally hid from her readers as a means to intentionally mislead them, is a photo of a 55-gallon drum.

Journalistic malpractice should be a capital crime.

Amber Phillips should be permanently ruined because of this. She displayed either breath-taking stupidity or dishonesty. This is not her first foray into public lying. She will suffer zero consequences.

So a married couple (or any two random people for that matter) could pool their stimulus $$$, buy a barrel, and have $25 left over for food! Sweeeeeet...

That’s nothing compared to Pelosi’s $5720 ice cream.

Was it deliberate or just stupid?

In this case, looks pretty deliberate.

Deliberate. It is dirt cheap and HIGHLY EFFECTIVE. Our family sprays our N95 masks with isopropyl alcohol after using. It evaporates quickly and leaves the masks virus free with no medicinal odor at all.

Remember the advertisements of 40 years ago on TV about “THE MOST POWERFUL ANTI-MOLD AND MILDEW REMOVER, X-42!” and cost “$4.95 a gallon.

I saw some in store and looked at the ingredients. It was nothing but common household bleach which sold for, at that time, a dollar a gallon.

Nobody reads the Washington Post except elite a-holes who could afford to buy alcohol by the barrel anyway.

She, although pretty, is a mean partisan operative of the democrat party, using her job at the wash post to lie and destroy Trump. If the wash post were a real newspaper, she would be fired and be forced to return all her pay for the past 10 years. But she won’t. She will indeed get a promotion and more money since she helped in their battle to destroy Trump.

My actual thoughts about the media and the left are shared by all at FR, so I don’t have to express them and get banned for a week.

Most of our media (entertainment, news, sports) work for the ChiComs or islamists. Both of them using our money against us.

Thank you very much Inside The Loop crowd.

What penalty should attend to the stupidity that ingests said malpractice?

Sometimes it is hard to tell WTF she was thinking but she is absolutely a stupid person nevertheless as the motive was very clear.
