Wow, they changed it. The original headline read: "Trump picks former Georgia governor Sonny Perdue, who once led a prayer for rain, for agriculture secretary". I'm beginning to miss hard copy, you had to stand by your word when you couldn't change it.
2. ... it was listed as a gun by the Washington Metro PD and that's where they must have gotten it from. So you're saying that the Washington Post is not real news because they quoted a list of guns provided by the WMPD (and probably a single officer somewhere) listing an air gun as a gun.
I'm saying it's one example of many where they are so eager to get out an inflammatory story that they don't even pause to check the facts. I don't know how or why the gun was misidentified by WMPD, but even someone with a glancing knowledge of firearms would have found that name odd. They could have verified the make and model of that 'gun' with a 5 second Google search and not looked like complete fools.
3. There WAS a mass exodus of senior State Department personnel. It was the largest departure of senior personnel at the State Department EVER. It is routine to see ambassadors and political appointees leave (although even here Trump's dumping them all at once is unprecedented) it is NOT routine to see career State Department personnel leave like this. Hannity himself was the one trying to tamp this down at the time. Both the Obama and Bush state department personnel were shocked to see that many go. They have not retracted any of this and they haven't retracted the later article about how they were actually fired and did not resign as was reported by sources within the State Department. Hannity is lying to you.
Nope, I just looked again and can find nothing supporting your statements and a lot of articles saying over and over that this was a handful of people in one branch of a large department (I found an org chart that supported that too), and that this is a routine thing that just happened a little more quickly than it usually does. I looked up Hannity; he has a show on Fox, I don't watch it.
4. I have no idea what article you are talking about with Tulsi Gabbard. She has been criticized by many because of her trip to Syria.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions ... ed73f0c195It has been heavily rewritten since its original publication. She was accused of having her trip entirely funded by Assad while claiming that ACCESS, a defunct organization, had paid for it and that she therefore is a Syrian mouthpiece. In fact, the trip was funded by AACCESS, an entirely different organization which is still active.
5. There absolutely was chaos in the cabinet over the immigration order. HS sec. Kelly just testified today that although he had been handed a draft of it, he had no input and only had a 24 hour warning to the final draft and actions of the order. Many, many legitimate news sources have reported that Tillerson, Kelly and others limited the scope of the order after the chaos started against the wishes of Bannon and Miller. This is again a Hannity nonsense fake news attack on them that I've heard him spout with no proof. The NYT, CNN and all other legitimate sources I've seen reported similar conflicts within the cabinet that weekend.
No, there is no chaos in the cabinet or elsewhere, only in the minds of the press. And those many 'legitimate' news sources are all copy/pasting each other with very little investigation. It's been happening so much lately, I guess you're starting to think it's normal? But we've already been over this one, it WAS incompetently rolled out, but the confusion only lasted a few hours and a hundred or so people trying to come in to the country were inconvenienced during that time.
6. CNN was the first to report about the "invasion of mexico". The Mexican president came out the next day and confirmed the transcript they reported but then said Trump had been joking when he said it. Even if he was joking it's a stupid thing to say.
Oh, if CNN was the first to lie about it, I guess that makes it okay? Trump was offering Mexico help.
actual news sources like the WP, NYT, CNN and all other "fake news" as you call it is actually real. ... If it seems like they're against Trump it's because his administration is chaotic, acting like idiots and failing so far. Don't blame the messenger if Trump looks like an idiot, maybe he really is an idiot and you're in denial.
I'm not saying they themselves are "fake". I'm saying they are printing a large proportion of lies, misdirections, misinformation, lies of omission, and half-truths lately, especially when it comes to Trump. It's sad what journalistic integrity has come to these days and I would very much prefer to be able to watch CNN again and not have to question every thing I see. I used to watch them fairly often, but now I don't watch any TV news.
Trump's administration is not chaotic, they're not acting like idiots, and they are not at all failing. Much of that so-called chaos and idiocy is being invented by the various media outlets. They actually seem to be trying their best to outright undermine him. I've even seen a few articles asking questions like whether it might be a good idea to just assassinate him, which is entirely a reprehensible thing to publish. Meanwhile, the general public approve of his policies and what he's doing. Do you really think this enormously successful man can be an idiot? He didn't just stumble in to best-selling books, billions of dollars in assets, TV fame, and the presidency.
I also saw a thing, but forgot to save it, that said some company mentioned in your ridiculous dossier is suing buzzfeed for libel. I'll have to try to find it again.
