ABC, NBC, and CBS all Run Bogus Trump Stories

WH [PUblic Domain]

The big three networks had a bad few days as all were caught running bogus Trump stories during that span.

According to Town Hall:

We’ve been following these controversies on an ad hoc basis, but I wanted to put this trifecta of examples all in one place. Each of the “big three” broadcast networks has run with a bogus or deeply misleading story in recent days, all of which were critical of prominent members of the Trump administration. As usual, the media’s “mistakes” tend to cut in one partisan direction — against the president, party and ideology that journalists largely detest and subtlely and actively undermine. Here’s a quick and dirty review of these instant entries into the annals “fake news” — a derisive moniker that the press too often earns:

(1) ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel, a committed Democratic operative who sometimes does comedy, aired doctored video of Vice President Mike Pence. The clip purported to show Pence pretending to carry personal protective equipment (PPE) into a medical facility, prompting Kimmel to snark, “Mike Pence pretending to carry empty boxes of PPEs into a hospital is a perfect metaphor for who he is and what he’s doing — a big box of nothing delivering another box of nothing.” The clip went viral, racking up millions of views, with numerous ‘blue checkmarks’ on social media eagerly sharing it. But it was a lie, and Kimmel was forced to acknowledge it and apologize, albeit conspicuously unapologetically:

(2) NBC’s Chuck Todd framed an entire “Meet the Press” discussion around an incomplete and context-free clip of Attorney General Bill Barr discussing the Justice Department’s decision to drop Michael Flynn’s prosecution. Todd played the abbreviated clip, calling Barr’s response ‘cynical’ and asserting that Barr didn’t seek to justify the department’s decision as upholding the rule of law. Barr’s full answer, which didn’t make CBS’ pressed-for-time televised news package — but was made available online — specifically spoke to the rule of law. Watch the juxtaposition, back to back:

(3) CBS’ Scott Pelley, in the span of a few seconds, made a claim on “60 Minutes” that reflects Chinese propaganda, and unfairly smeared Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as a conspiracy theorist:

The only way you can believe the US is in the lead in these categories is if you believe China.

The time has come when the liberal cartel (AP, CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, YAHOO , WASHINGTON POST, NEW YORK TIMES , BUSINESS INSIDER , THE WEEK ,HUFF POST ………) has to answer for the terror against the US president over a period of three years ,it is the time for the best lawyers of the country to show in the courts of justice what freedom of speech means and what happens when it is used irresponsible. Thousands of articles and TV shows that have used information produced will be evident in proving the cartel’s terrorist actions against the country’s elected president and their effort to justify a coup d’état . The time has come for the liberal cartel, a tool of the Democrat party, to be given a lesson to understand, once and for all, that this nation does not mean a few million democrats and a cartel, it means 350 million Americans , otherwise the liberal cartel remains as dangerous for our country as a biological weapon in the hands of individuals who have hijacked a major US party and no less dangerous than ISIS or Al Qaeda .Where is the singing betrayal of the liberal media, where are the years of jail, where is Itzikov’ s story of the president’s collaboration with the Russian espionage services ,where is the Russia collusion , how to explain the convictions of the terrorist cartel, how a cartel becomes a court of law …………?

just wanted to ad one more fake news organization to your list, USA Today. Most of the articles in the local paper are from USA Today and they always put the Trump administration in a bad light. For example, a headline the other day said Fauci said opening up the schools in the fall would lead to dire consequences. He said could lead to a serious issue. It was the Senator from Washington that led her question with dire consequences. Another misquote and USA does this all of the time.

I agree, if nothing else they should be sued for their libel propaganda. However, the FCC should stop sitting on their butts and do something constructive to earn their pay; fine these Networks and give them one final warning. If they keep it up, close them down. A Free Press does not give them the right to spread lies and disinformation.

I do not know who any of these are because I never watch any Media, but it does sound like they are doing exactly what the viewers want to hear the same way I hear Fox does for their viewers. Now since WWII there is no actual News in this USA, Roosevelt changed the rules sso that he could hire persons like Lowell Thomas and Garriel Heater to put a spin on WWII so the people at home would think we wer doing beter than we were in the war.
Now every thing is Commentary, that just means the broadcaster is not telling any lies but is showing it how their viewers want to hear it. Now comparing Fox the only Conservative station to the other Three called Liberal stations thaer is more than a million more viewers watching the Liberal than watching the Conservative. Now could that be because Trump is the most dislike President in the history of this USA according to the Political Scientist and Presidential Historians.
The only news out let in the World which is conbsidered unbiased is Reuters and they do not popaint such a rosy picture of Trump’s actions

That is a matter of opinion. Liberals are people who want something for nothing and when you have to work for something they get mad. All they can do is call names.

MSM is a tool of The Globalist-Elite-Communists. Look at who own the News Platforms in the U.S.A. Investigate who these people socialize with. Investigate all of the shell-companies owned by George Soros, and other rich Euro’s and Russians. Listen to your Patriots America, who have been in this war, before it was recognized to be a war. The DNC; these people, the personalities, ex. OBAMA, H.R.Clinton, Biden BUSH- G.W., Jebby, and Neil, Romney, are all criminals. This was G.H.W.Bush’s crew of theives and deceptive scumbag politicians! They damn near killed Reagan. Big Daddy Bush was the director of JFK’s murder. He was the CIA director who had Bobby Kennedy killed. THE CIA became the ‘KingMaker’ behind the throne and its been that way ever since. Bush begat Clinton. All of these crooks have been representing US for far too long! FIFTY SEVEN YEARS we the people have labored under these country-busting crooks! IT’S TIME TO RISE UP! OUR P.O.T.U.S. 45 IS ENLIGHTENED!

How true and that’s the facts. As a foreign born American citizen
moved here to the mainland per to the laws required is before we turn 18 of age. My grand father told us the threat of communism.
What I see are so many Americans selling out this country for the sake of $ as an exchange . Lost its moral compass and ethics we all succumbed to the consequences that we all deserve. This are our
Awakening Time. !!!!!

All 3 plus cnn and msnbc should have their license suspended for airing completely fraudulent no-news claiming it is real. Where the hell is the faa and whatever other organizations that are supposed to be a watchdog of what’s put out ????? They are intentionally misleading the American people and need to be held accountable. The lame lying worthless media is the only thing I can think of that might be lower than the demoSCUM party — Nah — never mind — it’s a tie.

I don’t believe anything the mainstream media says anymore. They are not to be trusted. They have become America’s enemy.
