Townhall ^ | November 6, 2017 | Christine Rousselle

As the saying goes, a lie goes halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put its pants on. This happened quite literally two times over the weekend. President Donald Trump is currently on a trip to Asia, and over the weekend a few amusing--and completely inaccurate--stories about his antics went viral.

They do make things up and their hatred of Trump leads them to report things that bear no real resemblance to reality.

If they reported what Trump did accurately, people would have some respect for them. Since they don’t, no one gives a damn about them and their fake news.

Shameful.

Blatantly lying about meaningless details just to make POTUS look bad.

If he was as awful as they pretend he is, they wouldn’t have to lie about him so much.

And if the media lies about these little, meaningless things... just imagine how much they lie about the big, important things.

He says, and “We love it when you, (pause)try building your cars here instead of shipping them over from Japan.”

I mean talk about stupidity. The man prior to that applauded them for building their cars in the USA.

Fake news CNN just reported a fake poll showing Trump with a 38% approval rating.

Effect follows cause with these guys and the poll predictably was overloaded with Democrats.

No wonder they’re full of themselves.

Even the Washington Post reporter pointed out Trump’s comment was taken out of context.

The people covering the President are dishonest.

Best advice re: MSM ‘news’ is treat everything as a lie.

If something happens to be true (and appears good) about Trump or Republicans, then they will put the worse possible spin on it, which will be a lie. So a lie either way.

Seriously...

Does anybody believe our opinions about the Vegas Shooting aren't being "managed?"

Aren’t koi carp? Aren’t carp bottom feeders? So, Abe knows the food sinks to the bottom and then the koi eat it. I’m sure Trump knows that. Don’t the reporters and twidiots know that, too?

1. Truth is whatever serves The Party.
2. If you repeat something enough, it becomes true.
3. If the facts contradict the narrative, the facts lie.

The meaningless details are all they’ve got. They have to obsess over feeding fish and Melania’s shoes because they have nothing of substance to criticize.

The danger for the MSM is that if they report on anything of substance, the news might get out to their drooling audience about what a great job Trump is doing. Stock market up, way up. Unemployment down, way down. Swamp beginning to drain. So much winning! (So much that they don’t dare report anything remotely related to it.)
