WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - President Donald Trump has demanded and received an apology from a Washington Post reporter over a photo of Trump's Florida rally on Friday.

Trump tweeted Saturday that ".@DaveWeigel @WashingtonPost put out a phony photo of an empty arena hours before I arrived @ the venue, w/ thousands of people outside, on their way in." The post included photos of the Pensacola venue as Trump spoke.

This is the place moral relativism and “the end justifies the means” take people.

Lying idiots with an agenda...

How can you mistake a photo taken before an event started for one during the actual event, unless you weren’t even there and had no real idea what was going on.

Gosh. Do you really think they may be intentional lies?

Please tell me it isn’t so.

I’m leaning more towards the Administration burning the leakers.

He comes out of this pretty good and the media looks pretty bad story after story that’s proven wrong.

New on Fox website

The Washington Post reporter whom President Trump wants fired for a misleading tweet about a recent Trump rally resigned from the newspaper years ago for disparaging Republicans on social media.

Yes.

The guy was fired in 2010 for bias and they hire him back again!!

The “errors” and “mistakes” are always on one side of the ledger, i.e. whatever is critical of the president. They are purposeful and should be treated as the intentional attacks on the president. These slime political attacks must be shown for what they really are.

What sane reporter would think that Trump played to an empty stadium? What planet do they live on? I understand living in a bubble, but this is crazy!

They tried, and mostly successfully, did the same thing for his inauguration.

What's really scary is that most current liberal arts graduates receive the same indoctrination. And they're our future politicians, CEOs, teachers, bureaucrats etc.. From where I sit the future looks bleak for America.

I could do a better job than those idiots.

Liberal morons were posting the empty hours before Trump arrived arena pic all over Twitter last night.

...which is why they still do this. A lie echoed 1000 times becomes the truth before the correction is ever issued.

Can we change the soft-ball label, "fake news" to "LYING NEWS" yet?
