CDC director says there are ‘no banned words’ at the agency
PBS ^ | December 17, 2017 | Michael D. Regan

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald on Sunday addressed a report that President Donald Trump’s administration had banned the CDC from using seven words or phrases in next year’s budget documents.

The terms are “fetus,” “transgender,” “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “evidence-based” and “science-based,” according to a story first reported on Friday in The Washington Post.

But Fitzgerald said in a series of tweets on Sunday said there are “no banned words,” while emphasizing the agency’s commitment to data-driven science.

Why even bother to read the news. 99% of the stories are twisted or outright lies.

All the hoopla, then the record is set straight.

So much “noise” out there these days.

...according to a story first reported on Friday in The Washington Post.

...and by "story" they mean "fiction".

Always consider the source. Almost always, you know the Left is lying to bring down the President with their latest blast of Fake News.

Someone should tell all the Handmaid’s Tale fans who were calling this a “real life Handmaid’s Tale.”

So the media made up another lie out of whole cloth?
I had people barking at me about this list of banned words and I hadn’t even had time to dig into it and find out what the heck was going on.

It was all a lie??? Arrrgggg

Yeah, that whole use of “story” instead of “report” or even “matter” by the LSM drives me crazy (it’s not necessarily a long trip).

I am increasingly convinced that Donald Trump plants these stories to a.) flush out leakers, and b.) make fools of the press. I don’t disapprove, by the way.

I had the car radio on, and heard Glen Beck for a few minutes.

He opened with saying the words were banned, then said it might not be true, then implied that the Trump administration banned the words then backed off.

He has never been the same since he became a rabid never Trumper.

Completely delusional.

Very sad, really.

Exactly. When posting a screed from a dubious blog site here at FR (and it gets nixed because it should be posted under bloggers), how could it be any worse than the junk put out by the MSM???
