No sooner did we warn that the media was again to counting on doubtful nameless sources to pump up anti-Trump narratives than “CBS Night Information” anchor Norah O’Donnell proved our level.
“In response to a DOJ official,” she tweeted Monday, “the FBI is NOT in possession of former President Trump’s passports. Trump had accused the FBI of stealing his three passports through the search of his Mar-a-Lago house.” No identify for the supply, in fact.
Oops: Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich quickly shared an e mail from the Justice Division admitting it did confiscate three of the ex-prez’s passports, “one being his energetic diplomatic passport.”
CBS lamely tried to cowl, claiming the FBI now not had Trump’s passports on the time O’Donnell tweeted. Sorry, no: She plainly was portray the ex-prez as a liar.
This follows breathless Washington Put up and New York Occasions items equally selling the anti-Trump claims of nameless authorities sources — regardless of all of the corrections and retractions the papers have needed to previous tales that relied on nameless liars.
No less than this time the lie acquired uncovered straight away. How typically should the media fail earlier than they give up this sorry recreation — which goals at dirtying Trump however winds up boosting him?
