Can They Get Anything Right? Looks Like That ‘Trump Wanted The USS McCain Obscured’ Story (T)

Do we even need to go down the numerous foul-ups over the Russian collusion myth? So, what happened now during Trump’s most recent trip to Japan? Oh, well, he wanted the U.S.S. McCain to be obscured or something (via WaPo):

And now the Navy Chief of Information:

“The name of USS John S. McCain was not obscured during the POTUS visit to Yokosuka on Memorial Day. The Navy is proud of that ship, its crew, its namesake and its heritage.”

Contrary to earlier posts. Just sayin'. But, "they" did get what they wanted. "They" put out a lie (surp-rize!) about PDJT and it stuck. Retractions can be found (maybe) in section D page 8 lower inside corner in #4 font. Maybe.

As of this morning, CBS was still reporting that the ship was named after the late great Senator McCain.

It wasn’t.

No correction, though.

IN ALL CAPS NO DOUBT. And that’s just on radio. How big can the print be on the front page of the NYT about the hate filled president once again pee’ing on hero mclame?

Why would they bother if it in any way makes PDJT look bad. They care not about the lies they spread.

The best part about this election is how the News Misleadia has gone so far into outright lying.

Proudly, too.

This am FBN was still saying the ship was named after McStain himself. I sent them a strongly worded email.

LOL! I have no doubt they’ll set things right when they read that email. You have the full backing of your FR tribe. :-)

Let’s revisit how Obastard tied the hands of those in combat.

This is another story where they (the press) heard something and dutifully reported it without checking the facts. Just like Trump fired Mueller but he actually didn’t, colluded with Russia but didn’t. Why do we even listen to this crap. It’s all propaganda.

The ship was originally named after the traitor senator’s father. But more recently the DOD or Pentagon decided to commemorate the ship in honor of the traitor, his dad, and grandfather. The father and grandfather were both admirals and served valiantly and never were responsible for the deaths of shipmates because of their incompetency.

It seems a WH reporter for the WSJ started this “ fake” story tying it to Trump himself
She will probably get a Pulitzer
She ought to be ignored at all future pressers

How many times does the MSM have to demonstrate they’re lying bastard traitors and enemies of the Republic?

It’s at the top of the column in WSJ too...
They wouldn’t allow me to post “Fake News” on their comment page.

Have you noticed all the MSM’s ‘mistakes’ damage Trump, Republicans, or traditional American - or all three? But they never ‘accidentally' damages liberals, progressives, socialists or communists?

It's almost like the press is corrupt - bought - on the take - functioning like common whores, totally and disgusting people. And yet they wonder why they're being downsized out of existence...it's a mystery alright.

DDG-56 USS John McCain was christened and commissioned for the namesakes Admiral John McCain, Sr. and Admiral John McCain, Jr.

Grandfather and father of McStain. The ship is commissioned as named after THEM.

In July 2018 7th Fleet commander added in John McCain III, procedurally... as a “namesake” along with his kin. This was an afterthought from the commissioning of the ship, an Arleigh Burke class DDG missile destroyer.

The entire press bullcrap is FALSE, and made up by some mcStain lovers. Wait until declas proves that Mrs. McStain and her fat spawn will continue to get money from a special account set up in Indonesia, for the payoff for the gun running to ISIS (oops, the moderate al-qaeda in Syria, the Syrian moderates) done with obamaumao and hitlery clinton, through Qatar intermediaries. Resulting in the death of Ambassador Stephens and our spec ops people in Benghazi. It is a known fact— massive amount of money on deposit, numbered account in Indonesia. Maybe they will take mcStain’s name (in the Name of his Father’s Father) off the ship, then.
