From Alex Pfeiffer’s article at dailycaller.com (bold print is mine):
Journalists and pundits spread fake news on Twitter Sunday that Ivanka Trump was engaged in pay-to-play with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
The false story started with a Wall Street Journal reporter Rebecca Ballhaus misrepresenting an article from her own outlet. The story, “Saudi Arabia, U.A.E. Pledge $100 Million To World Bank’s Women Entrepreneurs Fund,” says that the president’s daughter proposed the creation of the fund, but “Ms. Trump doesn’t control it or raise money for it.”
Ballhaus, however, said in a tweet that it was “Ivanka’s Women Entrepreneurs Fund.” Reporters ended up picking up on the tweet, and CNN’s Jim Sciutto wrote, “This is virtually identical to what Trump and others in GOP criticized Clinton Foundation for.” His tweet received nearly 10,000 retweets.
One MSNBC analyst, Malcolm Nance, went as far as to say, “Good lord. Trumps do Literal Pay-to-Play. This is grounds for immediate dismissal [from] government.”
The article goes on to show a surfeit of tweets from other media venues, all attacking/condemning/ridiculing Ivanka Trump and, of course, Daddy Donald.
The fact that they are all WRONG? That the basis of this story is 100% untrue – as any of them would have known if they bothered to check?
No problems. It’s the Trumps, so it’s open season. Facts are optional.
These are not journalists. They are paid propagandists. And – ironically – one of the reasons that Donald Trump won in 2016.
How do they look at themselves in the mirror?
I believe they are so evil they have no problem looking in the mirror.
