" The only explanation for such a repeated falsehood is abject laziness or willful deception.
Either way, the duplicity on this topic perhaps encapsulates the depressingly low trust most Americans place in major media, with 77 percent stating in a Monmouth University 2018 poll that traditional TV and newspapers report fake news. In addition, such lies as the Charlottesville Hoax needlessly further divide our already-polarized society.

I still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon. Tom Stoppard
If I'd written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people - including me - would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism. --- Hunter S. Thompson
Our President believes in the old adage If you are explaining you are losing. He knew that anyone with 2 brain cells knew and the ones who lie would just continue to lie.
Well he will not be appearing anymore!!!!
That is because they are FGD liars.
Deliberate and willful ignorance is a far worse failure of character than mere stupidity. Even the very stupid can be taught SOMETHING, with clear and concise repetition, plus almost infinite patience. And in the learning, be able to contribute something of value to the sum total of all human endeavor.
Whereas blame and arguing provide little or nothing of value.
The entire Charlottesville event was a staged hoax to perpetuate the narrative that the right was violent.
I watched Charlottesville as it happened on a Periscope live stream. The police agencies in the park failed to keep the two groups separated once Terry “The Punk” McAuliffe declared a state of emergency. This is policing 101 and IMO had they done this basic function there would have been no violence.
They have to be totally delusional to think Trump praised neo-Nazis.
They have to be totally deceptive to report Trump praised neo-Nazis.
Either way, it proves CNN is FAKE.
If I’m not mistaken, the guy that planned the Charlottesville rally was actually a Democrat. Of course, he was portrayed as a former Democrat that turned and became a radical, right wing nut job, Trump supporter. The mayor allowed the whole debacle to happen ordering the cops to stand down if I’m not mistaken and someone lost their life because of it, if I’m not mistaken.
I’m not really a tech savvy guy when it comes to all the latest and greatest stuff out there. But, I always thought it would be nice, if possible, if some tech person could take some of the video from the rally, especially the stuff where the guys were walking with tiki torches and attempt some facial recognition on some of them. Match them up against Facebook or Instagram or something like that, in attempt to id some of them. Again, if that technology is even possible.
I’d love to find out that the guys w/ the tiki torches were actually members of the DSA or AOCs Democratic Socialists.
Why is this news? /s
I assume everything reported on CNN, NYT o the WaPo is false until proven true. Everything on MSNBC is false or too petty to consider for any purpose.
The only “news” the “talking heads” ever get is what someone else wrote and then the “reading heads” read on their teleprompter. They should be called “reading heads.
CNN is admitting defeat. There’s no way this guy was given that airtime without either permission or explicit direction.
Jeff Zucker-(zooker)-Rhymes-With-Hooker (per Chris Plante) said that anti-Trump makes him money. I guess that’s no longer the case, douchebag.
