If they ever open a hall of fame for fake news, this has got to be in it.
Here is the headline of an article by Ken Dilanian of NBC News:
Susan Rice Did Nothing Wrong, Say Both Dems and Republicans
Wow! Both parties agree that Susan Rice is innocent of all charges!
This a huge story. It blows the accusations against Rice out of the water. If I were her I’d sue the pants off of Donald Trump and everyone who doubted her for a second.
Except…
…here, in totality, is the evidence to “support” that headine.
“I saw no evidence of any wrongdoing,” said one U.S. official who reviewed the documents, who would not agree to be identified further. “It was all completely normal.”
His assessment was shared by a senior Republican aide who had been briefed on the matter but declined to speak on the record.
That’s it. Nothing else. Not one other Democrat or Republican is mentioned in the article. Use the link above, read it, and see for yourself.
So the sum total of evidence for that breathless, game changing headline is the opinions of one unnamed official and one unnamed Republican aide. The end.
That is not just fake news. that is FAKE news.
No, that’s not enough. It is FAKE news.
No, that’s not enough either. It is
FAKE NEWS.
NBC news has a lot to be ashamed of these days. But this one wins the grand prize.
How do they get away with using unnamed sources for stories they like and then turn around and claim unnamed sources aren’t good enough for the stories they don’t like.
I just don’t get it.
