‘The Thrust of this Article Is No Longer Correct’: NBC News Backs Down from Fake News Hit on Trump, Troops, Christmas
NBC News has finally, a full day after being called out for printing the fake news, admitted that its article published on Christmas alleging President Donald Trump snubbed the troops during the holidays this year is incorrect. NBC has altered its headline and story, changing their meaning to remove the original anti-Trump thrust, and added an extended editor’s note beyond the original editor’s note appended when it was first discovered to be an inaccurate piece. The new editor’s note admits in no uncertain terms that NBC News printed fake news, and that it was only leaving the article up in the interest of transparency despite the fact that “the thrust of this article is no longer correct” according to NBC News’s own editors.The embarrassing mistake for NBC News comes as the media industry as a whole has attempted to critique Trump’s visit to Iraq, bashing the troops for bringing red “Make America Great Again” hats for the … [Read more...] about ‘The Thrust of this Article Is No Longer Correct’: NBC News Backs Down from Fake News Hit on Trump, Troops, Christmas
Nolte: Trump Cancels White House Christmas Party for Fake News Media
President Trump canceled the decades-old tradition of the White House hosting a Christmas party for the media, reports Fox News. “President Trump has canceled the White House holiday party for the media, making the decades-old tradition a victim of his increasingly contentious relationship with major news organizations,” Fox reports.“The annual Christmas-season gathering was a significant perk for those covering the White House, as well as other Washington reporters, anchors and commentators, and New York media executives would regularly fly in for the occasion,” Fox adds. “Journalists who attended the events, which featured a catered buffet of lamb chops, crab claws and elaborate desserts, got to roam the decorated mansion with a spouse or other family member, a friend or a colleague, adding to the invitation’s allure.” And after all this jet-setting and crab clawing happening on what I am assuming is the taxpayer’s dime, a line would … [Read more...] about Nolte: Trump Cancels White House Christmas Party for Fake News Media

The Energy 202: Trump administration’s release of a climate report on Black Friday didn’t bury the news
Dino Grandoni, The Washington Post Published 7:50 am PST, Monday, November 26, 2018 The Trump administration did something over the long holiday weekend it has rarely done for most of the president's tenure. It actually acknowledged global climate change is real and its effects on the United States both now and in the future are dire. But Friday's release of the congressionally mandated report was stuffed into the middle of a Thanksgiving weekend on one of the busiest shopping days of the year. As The Washington Post reported: "Several people involved in the report said its release originally had been planned for early December, but after a behind-the-scenes debate in recent weeks about when to make it public, administration officials settled on Black Friday." If the intent of that publication date was to keep the climate report out of public view, the plan did not quite work. Major news organizations still featured the report prominently in print and over the airwaves, … [Read more...] about The Energy 202: Trump administration’s release of a climate report on Black Friday didn’t bury the news
