Trump Remakes The World In His Image

   

Everything needs to be ATTENTION GRABBING these days. Hell, even The Weather Channel is getting into it. They're always teasing some DEATHSTORM 2018!!!! RUN!!!! type of story.

Here's the headline today: 'Immediate and Growing Threat' in California
The details of the report are disturbing, but the state is not taking the news lying down... It's the fucking weather.

MSM NARRATIVE FAIL: ‘Unite the Right’ Rally: White Nationalists March in D.C.

It’s not until the fifteenth paragraph that the New York Times bothers informing its readers of a crucial detail: “The Unite the Right group planned to have up to 400 people at the rally … though the group was considerably smaller.” So all this media hoopla for a few dozen losers, because it feeds into the media’s preferred narrative that Trump has brought us to the verge of racist-fascist takeover of the U.S.?

UPDATE: Even then, the Times isn’t being completely forthright. “Considerably smaller” apparently means around thirty people. My friend has more people than that playing role-playing games in his basement this weekend, but the MSM doesn’t seem interested in that.

SECOND UPDATE: The Times has now completely rewritten the story, now emphasizing the “low attendance” of around “two dozen.” Some of my local friends were literally scared for their safety because of the way the media all last week suggested that thousands of violent neo-Nazis were about to descend on D.C. Someone should be held accountable, but won’t.

On Saturday, dozens of media outlets reported that federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested an illegal alien who was taking his wife to the hospital to deliver their baby — but they conveniently left out one key detail: the man was a wanted murder suspect.

Who, exactly, is your beef with here?

There’s no real beef other than it’s a SEE!! Moment for Trumpites. Another example where the evil “fake news” got something wrong.

Any port in a storm DWags. Fake News has been kicking The White House’s ass so badly this week Sarah Sanders needed to bang her head on the podium because her answers were stuck.

CNN’s July 26 story has come under fresh scrutiny in recent days after Davis acknowledged he had served as an anonymous source for multiple news outlets who were seeking to confirm the CNN article in the hours after it published. Davis has backed away from the story in recent days, telling the Washington Post that he is not certain if the claim is accurate, and that he could not independently corroborate it.

After publication of this story, Davis added to BuzzFeed News that he did not lie to Cooper, but that he "unintentionally misspoke."

"We stand by our story, and are confident in our reporting of it,” a CNN spokesperson told BuzzFeed News.

The unfolding saga around CNN’s July report highlights an uncomfortable reality for reporters in the Trump era — about the pitfalls of anonymous sourcing, the dangers of the reliance on capricious narrators, and what it means for news outlets when the backstory can matter as much as the story.

LooseGoose wrote:Fake story has been out there a month - Lanny Davis lied. None of the outlets has retracted yet....and of course if they do that will get 1/100th of the air time.

He fits well as a source though since he's been a lying sleaze for 30 years and spent most of that time trying to "fix" Bill Clinton's rapes. Of course that and falsely accusing Trump makes him a hero to the left.

Answer. Never. He doesn't even know what the truth looks like anymore.
