In the wake of the ABC Fake News that resulted in lying Brian Ross getting an unplanned 4-week “vacation” a new story emerged. Donald Trump Jr. was reported to have received an email from Wikileaks directing him to documents ten days before they were made public.
CNN jumped all over it. But when the Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and NBC News published the actual “news” President Trump took to Twitter.
I know you can’t help but spread #fakenews @cnn, but now that you know the truth you should have the decency to retract the false story, make the correction, take down the bs tweet, and apologize to the 2 or 3 people that still believe you to be credible #yourewelcome https://t.co/bjL6mSdaii

The ideological tunnel-vision at the Counterfeit News Network gets them into”Fake News” trouble again.
“After this story was published, The Washington Post obtained a copy of the email Friday afternoon and reported that the email urged Trump and his campaign to download archives that WikiLeaks had made public a day earlier. The story suggested that the individual may simply have been trying to flag the campaign to already public documents.”
“The new details appear to show that the sender was relying on publicly available information,” CNN said in its updated story. “The new information indicates that the communication is less significant than CNN initially reported.”
Less significant?
The day after the documents were made available to the entire world, someone emailed the Trump campaign and said, “hey, you seen this yet?”
What did I say about Brian Ross and ABC just five days ago?
ABC and Ross are all apologies now, after the media, the internet, and low information voters were deluged with breaking fake news that is still out there despite the mea culpa. And we have to ask if there was an editorial decision in advance to make a story something it was not and take the hits after the fact for the benefit of flooding the blogosphere with links to a false story?
All in the growing shadow of the President they are trying to delegitimize being proven right over and over again about media bias and fake news.
Trump is living rent free in their heads. Are they the only ones who don’t know this?
