What is fake news and what is the real (true) news? Is Fox News reporting truth when it says Congressman Adam Schiff, chair of the House Intelligence Committee, “is inventing crimes” and that he “has no evidence of collusion?” Is Schiff, according to Fox News “making this up because he’s sleazy,” because that is what “Adam Schiff does?” “Is Adam Schiff really “the sleaziest member of Congress” and “a conspiracy theorist?”
All this was reported by Fox News on Monday after Donald Trump did his “tweet” thing about Schiff on Sunday, accusing him of doing something that has never happened before—“Unlimited Presidential Harassment.” Is the only real or truthful news that which Donald Trump suggests? He says so. “Just remember,” he said, “what you are seeing and what you are reading is not what’s happening…Just stick with us (who? Fox News?), don’t believe the crap you see from these people (who? Other Cable News Outlets?), the fake news.”
Who is telling the truth about the city of El Paso. Trump makes his own claims about the border town and its wall. But the county commissioners complain that Trump has “continuously made inaccurate claims about the United States’ southern border, including El Paso.” They are, they wrote, “disillusioned by President Trump’s lies regarding the border and our community.” The Mayor of El Paso also pushed back on Trump’s distortions about the city. Who’s telling the truth? What is fake and what is true?
Mr. Trump doesn’t care what the local leaders or people say or claim. And he says so. He said it again at his rally in El Paso on Monday night. “I don’t care if they’re Republican or a Democrat, they are full of crap when they say it [the border wall] hasn’t made a big difference.”
He knows more than the Intelligence agencies, more than the generals, and he has accomplished more in two years than any other administration in history, plus he won the 2016 election by a landslide—Oh! Lest I forget—he also claims the largest inauguration crowd (in spite of the pictures).
So where to you go to get the “news?”
