WAPO RAN KAVANAUGH STORY WITH KNOWINGLY FALSE INFORMATION
The Daily Caller ^ | 7:19 PM 10/20/2018 | Amber Athey | Media and Breaking News Editor

Posted on 10/21/2018 10:24:40 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Emily Heil reported on October 18 that Georgetown Prep was hiring a director of alumni relations, and wrote that the school posted the advertisement for the position this week. The article further suggested that the school was adding the position because of the news surrounding the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a Georgetown Prep alum, to the Supreme Court.

However, Heil was informed prior to publication of her article by a spokesperson for Georgetown Prep that the position was posted back in July.

Heil specifically asked spokesperson Patrick Coyle when the alumni director job was posted, according to a copy of the email posted by @AG_Conservative.

“Just thought it was interesting, given all the attention that your alums have been getting recently,” Heil wrote to Coyle. “I wondered if the job had been posted before or after the Kavanaugh hearings, and anything else you can tell me about it.”

Coyle responded within eight minutes telling Heil that it was “posted in July 2018,” and pointed Heil to a group of other statements from Georgetown Prep.

(((AG))) @AG_Conservative · 21h BREAKING: 1 article was WaPo on Georgetown Prep, which falsely suggested that they were hiring an alumni director to deal w bad publicity from Kavanaugh story. I've now obtained the email exchange between the WaPo reporter and the school, which makes the story look even worse. (((AG))) @AG_Conservative

Deliberate lies and fake news in the distinguished leftist news media?

As they said in Casablanca:

Shocked. I am shocked!

The DOJ has to investigate that Ford woman, and prosecute her to the fullest extent of the law. This is sickening!

But..but. The press has assured us that, even though they are 90% Democrat, they never let their personal bias affect news articles...Much.

There was NOTHING newsworthy about such a job listing without the “linkage” WaPo created in the story. The “correction” is inadequate and cannot correct the false impression created by WaPo.

No bias here.

Fake news journalists never get a story wrong.

No surprise as our media, since the days of the Spanish American war have shown to be abusing their special 1st Amendment rights even if it means getting Americans killed.

Time for those who abuse the 1st Amendment in such a manner to pay the ultimate price for their treason.

This is just as I predicted, back in 1980 or so.

In the 1960’s and 1970’s, the News Misleadia was biased toward the left. The bias crept into stories.

In the 1980’s and 1990’s, they became cheerleaders for the left. They would cherrypick stories that made the right look bad, and never publish stories that made the left look bad.

In the 2000’s, they became outright activists for the left, creating news trends outright, omitting important information, and leading the charge on leftist causes.

In the 2010’s, they became pure propagandists. They lie outright, in print. This became a lot more prevalent when the law that disallowed the CIA to spread domestic propaganda was rescinded.

You try not to wish ill will towards folks, but the WAPO if their offices got the Hebdo treatment wouldn’t elicit any tears from me.

Back in 2015 or 16, then candidate Trump expressed a desire to strengthen libel/slander laws against our press. The majority opinion right here on FR was that the Donald had lost his marbles.

WaPo (A Whale of Poo) - Dishonored in Trump’s 2017 Top Ten First Annual Fake News Winners AKA Among the Top Ten Biggest Liars of the Lying Leftist Media

The Left has begun shedding any pretense of difference between them and the totalitarian doctrines of Marx, Fabian Socialists, Hitler, and Stalin.

Marxist Socialist Doctrine simply says that the ends justify the means and lying, cheating, stealing, and killing is justified if it furthers the ends of bringing about totalitarian Socialism. In that, the Left are in bed with Islamist Jihadists who believe that their mass murderous mayhem is justified by furthering their false doctrine of the Qaran, Totalitarian Sharia Law, and their false god Allah.

The deep religious aspect of Islam is why, as the Bible reveals, after the church is taken out of the world, Worldwide Islamic Supremacy will prevail and what follows will be astonishingly horrific.

WaPo is simply displaying what the entire Left is now displaying - the ends justify the means.

The left has no moral principles. Left is wapo, democrats, hysterical individuals who are willing to go on national TV to accuse someone of rape. The knowingly lies, not caring about the consequences.

The left organized the high tech lynching of Kavanaugh. The left spread the word that they would be paying hysterics to come forward and lie. Baby-killing hysterics realized that this was an opportunity to fight for their major cause: abortion.

They should all be in prison. Unfortunately they are never held to account, and will never be prosecuted.

redcatcherb412: "... the WAPO if their offices got the Hebdo treatment wouldn’t elicit any tears from me."

If WaPoo publishers, editors and reporters, following their trials and convictions, got the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg treatment, I'd joined the millions celebrating in the streets.
