Judy Woodruff issues apology following Trump Gaza comments
The scHill ^ | 8/21/24 | Lauren Irwin

“PBS NewsHour” senior correspondent Judy Woodruff issued an apology Wednesday after her comments about former President Trump’s role in Gaza cease-fire talks sparked criticism.
“The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the prime minister of Israel urging him not to cut a deal right now because … it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign,” Woodruff said while broadcasting from the Democratic National Convention on Monday.

In a post on social platform X, Woodruff said Wednesday she wanted to clarify her comments.
“As I said, this was not based on my original reporting; I was referring to reports I had read, in Axios and Reuters, about former President Trump having spoken to the Israeli Prime Minister,” Woodruff wrote. “In the live TV moment, I repeated the story because I hadn’t seen later reporting that both sides denied it.”

Axios reported last week that Trump and Netanyahu spoke about a hostage and cease-fire deal, but it later reported that Netanyahu’s office denied the conversation.
Reuters reported similar information, citing Axios. The stories did not report that Trump urged Netanyahu to not take a deal.

Wouldn't any honorable broadcaster know from the get-go that the second half of the sentence is pure malignant speculation - that, barring telepathic powers - no one could possibly know the motives of the alleged phone call?

He also said that KIAs buried at Normandy were “suckers and losers” according to the mystery four-star-general who alone heard him say it. He also said that neo-Nazis are fine people, and that there are “black jobs” (that illegal invaders are stealing).

Lie is the only language that the leftards speak, and Kamala does so ineptly.

Axios reported last week that Trump and Netanyahu spoke about a hostage and cease-fire deal, but it later reported that Netanyahu’s office denied the conversation. Reuters reported similar information, citing Axios.

I'm going to repeat my boilerplate about Axios and it's parent organization Politico, because what I wrote just happened again:


As I've written before for people who do not know the origins of Axios and Politico:

Politico was founded in 2007 by two Washington Post employees:

Together with former banker and then-CEO of Albritton Communications Robert Albritton (who owned several ABC-affiliated television stations in Washington, D.C.), they founded Politico as a internet-based immediate news outlet, with Harris as the Editor-in-Chief and VendeHei as the Executive Editor. Politico initially positioned itself as a neutral news source but quickly reverted to its Washington Post roots by hiring Michael Kinsley and Joe Scarborough as opinion writers. They eventually hired Susan Glasser from The New Yorker to be their opinion editor.

At some point Politico hired Mike Allen, who was a journalist for The New York Times and Time Magazine. Allen was hired to write a daily email newsletter for Politico.

In 2016, VandenHei and Allen left Politico to start Axios. Axios was established to be a digital short-form news source that focused on industry-specific stories. I think of it as a USA Today for Politico.

So, you can see that Politico is simply a front for the writers of The Washington Post, The New York Times, New Yorker, Time, MSNBC, Los Angeles Times, Slate, etc. Axios publishes a story or poll, then Politico writes a full piece on it, then the NYT and WaPo report that Politico and Axios said so and such... and then the rest of the LAAP-dog media report the NYT story. That's how the left gets its message into the mainstream subconscious.

This is the Democrat implementation of what the Clinton White House described as the "Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce" in a secret 1995 memo to describe the rise of the alternative right-wing media, or what Hillary Clinton called it, "the vast right-wing conspiracy." The full memo is here.

I've seen that lady on the left recently in TV commercials for some financial advisor firm.

Mindy Sterling, but I haven't seen anything that she's been in.

Her line at the closing credits was "Lies! All lies!"

I thought it fitting.

Reddit was on fire with this yesterday, calling for the arrest of Trump for interfering in official US government business. Not a peep about the walk back and apology from the lying reporter, though.

Her body moves, her mouth speaks, but the only thing working its way through her addled brain functions is pure evil. So, no, she is lost and dead.

That's how it works. One liar writes a story, other outlets pick up on it and repeat it, then it's considered as truth.

The Steele dossier is a classic example.

Well, when you weave a tangled web of lies like the corporate media conglomerates have it gets very difficult to keep track.

“The reporting is … “ = “Some say.”

Those people are perpetual middle school girls.
