    Ok so there are dozens more leftist fake news Tweets this source didn't include, just check the usual feeds if you're inclined to see them, but now we move to the Red Cross responses which were just epic.



    The impressive thing here is that the Red Cross went out of its way to directly respond to each and every single one of these fake news spreading leftist liars by directly denying their bullshit lies that Trump had "banned" them.

    Each time a leftist told a lie the Red Cross was there to shoot it down and so I'm happy to recognize the effectiveness of that tactic because this bit of fake news died a quick death.

    To be fair their initial response made it appear as if they were being denied access. The media should have contacted them first(you know, the smart thing to do)but I don't blame them for jumping to conclusions.

    I think this fabricated border "crisis" is going to go down in history as the second most ubiquitous fake news generating domain in the Trump Presidency.

    The first obviously being Russia Russia Russia.

    Ah, no. When I read the initial statement by the Red Cross presented here, my immediate thought was that there was no emergency situation that would be the normal trigger for Red Cross intervention. The response by the Lefty press was the usual thing we have come to expect from attack dogs that have given up their role as Journalists.

    Perhaps you should blame them though because jumping to conclusion is offensive to journalistic integrity.

    Confirming the facts is like ...its like the entire point of being a journalist heh.

    But that's only if you believe they are journalists ...which I do not.

    These people are entertainers, comedians of a different genre, and as such they have no journalistic integrity.

    We came to seperate conclusions then when we read the initial response so can you really get upset when other people do too? Not defending the media as normally act like idiots to begin with, but the Red Cross could have worded it better.

    When the Red Cross makes a statement in the way they did then no, I don't blame anyone for coming to that conclusion.

    Anyone being you or I regular citizens? ...ya sure I would generally agree with you there.

    But the media considers themselves to be journalists and the ethics of journalism demand something conspicuously uncertain be verified before its reported.

    Its like you or I writing off a slight fever and a runny nose as the cold virus, as opposed to a doctor doing the same.

    We expect the doctor to confirm their diagnosis as they are considered an authority from which the basis action is taken - and we need that action to be based off the right information.

    Media has an amazing power and they wield it like an infant who has found their fathers gun.

    Media stores can produce riots, they can invoke attacks, they can shut down businesses, they can ruin lives, they can cause war and death.

    They should get their facts straight before the broadcast conclusions.

    A simple phone call from the NYT editors desk to the Red Cross could have prevented this entire thing.

    If they are too lazy to do the work ...why should anyone believe them?

    Worse, when people die as a result of the call to protest from the likes of Maxine Waters and dozens of other liberal politicians, it will likely go down as one of the darkest chapters in Liberal Progressive politicking.

    There are two ways to try and win elections. The first, ignoble and true in our tradition is to debate the issues and make a strong case for your position in the federal, state or local governments. The second way, the cowardly way is to lie and deceive and make up propaganda stories. Such as Access Hollywood, etc. So it doesn't matter how true something is, propaganda outlets(which is what the media has become) will continue to be false and misleading.

    What or how something is said matters not, leftists will deceitfully interpret it in such a way that feeds their current addiction; abject and irrational hatred for The Great Orange Satan.

    it's not unlike a runaway addiction to drugs/booze....at some point, even the addict knows it's irrational, that it's bad for them, that it's killing them, that it's destroying every relationship they've ever held dear...family, friends, self.... but they can't quit...not until they hit absolute rock bottom or die.

    They'll ride it into the ground.

    What part of journalistic integrity allows "jumping to conclusions"?

    This must be another left wing or fake news photo of illegal alien children who were separated from their parents sleeping with Red Cross blankets.

    Trump Is Succeeding And It’s The Media’s Nightmare

    Satisfaction with the country’s direction has reacted a 12-year high, while trust in the mainstream media drops to another low.

    It's one vs The Swamp and The Swamp is gettings ass spashed.

    Didn't say I believe the media, just the that the way the Red Cross worded made it sound exactly like it was claimed.

    There was also a photo of kids using space blankets. They're noisy to sleep in, but will keep you considerably warmer. And if it's all you got its a godsend in a pinch. I refuse to fly anymore but the way folks have to bed down in airports now I would put a space blanket and a small, cheap air mattress in my overhead bag.
