$FakeNews

Just like the missing bust of MLK, the Fake News jumped on a story that confirmed what they wanted to report without checking to see if it was true. The Left hates freedom, America, and President Trump, and they will report anything that confirms their hate just to score political points.

I took one for the team and listened to NPR this evening, that scratchy-voiced old crone was in high dudgeon painting this guy as a total right winger, ROTC member, gun fanatic. No mention whatsoever of all the social media presence depicting a fascination with if not membership in Black Bloc, AntiFa, photos with the vapid Che tee shirt, etcetera.

AP has re-written the sequence of events.

AP called the White Nationalist leader and asked him to confirm that the shooter was in his group, based on information that AP had obtained from another source.

Anyway, the leader's statement to the AP was a little confusing and a little strange, but the AP called him, he did not call the AP.

The story was just too good to be checked.

If they weren’t so quick to want to print a negative story about whitey, it would have never happened.

AP is a disgrace.

They believed it because they WANTED to believe it.

We joke about all the “Sons of Obama” that get in trouble with the law, but I found it amazing the resemblance between this Nicholas Cruz guy and Zero. Same jug ears, same dead eyes look.

At what point do we disband AP, now that they run ‘articles’ with zero substantiation, for the purpose of attacking Trump and his supporters.

At the VERY LEAST, they need to have their non-profit status yanked. They’re beyond the point of being able to deny they’re a political organization with the purpose of electing Democrats.

I read something the day of and not seen any reference since... Could mean it has been discredited and I missed it i.e. fake news, it’s got me before, but it said this shooter had 2 twitter accounts... One praising ISIS and one showing him in a MAGA hat. Twitter deleted the ISIS one and left the other one up. Whatever I read said they had archived both before anything was deleted but my history page is incredible these days and I cant find it now.

But by no coincidence, it was exactly what they were looking for. So like Dan Rather and his phony memos, they ran with the story before even checking its validity.

It’s more than being duped, they wanted it to be true.

Why would a white nationalist guy shoot up a bunch of white guys ?

But the public school graduates that make up the news media have NO ability to think contextually nor in simple one plus one equals two cogitations.


"Hey chief ... Cruz is a white nationalist !"

"OK Todd, run with it ... "

The “white supremacist” story is out there now, and no retraction will bring it back. It has thus advanced their “dangerous right wingers” meme.

Like all cons, you tell the mark what they want to believe.

AP got suckered because of their own institutional bias.

And Matt Drudge put a picture of him with words "White Supremacist" on his headline page IN RED CAPITAL LETTERS, and let it sit there for hours before he removed it.

Trust me - if someone had called the AP and said the killer was a member of Antifa it would NOT have run.

These ‘mistakes’ don’t happen when the mistake might hurt the left.
