FAKE NEWS about Trump now the norm for news organizations

1 Name: Anonymous : 2017-02-08 01:27

Journalists can’t seem to get their stories straight in the opening weeks of the Trump administration, whether in tweets or in articles where falsehoods have been spread almost daily.

The mistakes have not just been from newer liberal news outlets such The Huffington Post or BuzzFeed, but from legacy media like Reuters, The Washington Post, and The New York Times.

What follows are several botched stories or conflicting reports since President Trump took office.

Maybe part of the problem is Trump is a moving target of indistinct positions, alternate facts, and outright baldfaced lies.

Bingo, and most of the points outlined in the article are nitpicking and unverified 'anonymous sources'.

Well that's false too.

Rushing to report things without verification is what fake news is all about.

Things like this have been going on for months:

On the evening of January 20, TIME White House correspondent Zeke Miller incorrectly reported that the bust of Martin Luther King Jr. had been removed from the Oval Office.

Remember when the press was acting like Trump's transition team was in 'disarray' in part because he hadn't made any major appointments in the first 2 weeks?

Well:

Obama Chief Strategist: Obama Transition Team Wasn’t Criticized Over Appointments Like Trump Is
We hadn't made any major appointments at this point in 2008. I don't remember being criticized for it.

First you are going on how it's fake news.
Then when you get shown that Trump himself is behind the fake news, you then attack the Obama admin to deflect.

Trump lies:
Mexico is going to pay for the wall.
I can stop federal funds.

Please, name a piece of rump related news that upsets you but isn't fake news.

None of those are "fake news" unless you believe everything politicians say.

But the media never reported falsehoods about Obama. FEMA camps, Obama phones, birth certificate, being a Muslim, taking guns away etc.

It's okay when he does it, and he's the leader, ie the one everybody is supposed to be following

How does he want everyone else to behave?

Aren't we supposed to assume our opinions are facts?

Don't you know how dull the news would be if it only presented pure factual information with no opinion whatsoever..

Trump would hardly rate a mention
