And the winner is ….
Donald Trump promised Fake News Awards.
Tonight he and the GOP delivered, The Highly-Anticipated 2017 Fake News Awards
The GOP website crashed from the demand (an archived link is here).
It’s a pretty solid list (the GOP link has images):
1. The New York Times’ Paul
Krugman claimed on the day of President Trump’s historic, landslide
victory that the economy would never recover.
2. ABC News’ Brian Ross CHOKES and sends markets in a downward spiral with false report.
3. CNN FALSELY reported that
candidate Donald Trump and his son Donald J. Trump, Jr. had access to
hacked documents from WikiLeaks.
4. TIME FALSELY reported that President Trump removed a bust of Martin Luther King, Jr. from the Oval Office.
5. Washington Post FALSELY
reported the President’s massive sold-out rally in Pensacola, Florida
was empty. Dishonest reporter showed picture of empty arena HOURS before
crowd started pouring in.
6. CNN FALSELY edited a video to
make it appear President Trump defiantly overfed fish during a visit
with the Japanese prime minister. Japanese prime minister actually led
the way with the feeding.
7. CNN FALSELY reported about
Anthony Scaramucci’s meeting with a Russian, but retracted it due to a
“significant breakdown in process.”
8. Newsweek FALSELY reported that Polish First Lady Agata Kornhauser-Duda did not shake President Trump’s hand.
9. CNN FALSELY reported that
former FBI Director James Comey would dispute President Trump’s claim
that he was told he is not under investigation.
10. The New York Times FALSELY claimed on the front page that the Trump administration had hidden a climate report.
11. And last, but not least:
“RUSSIA COLLUSION!” Russian collusion is perhaps the greatest hoax
perpetrated on the American people. THERE IS NO COLLUSION!
