OK, that's actually kind of funny. I have a mischevious side that gets a chuckle out of that. Not great for a news station that wants to be taken seriously, but they can reap the rewards of their TomFoolery.DBTrek wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 10:05 amA Seattle TV station aired doctored footage of Trump’s Oval Office speech.

Re: Fake News
I will just add this to our fake news pile...

How news media omissions distort Russia probe narrative ... and shield Democrats
On Wednesday, for example, CNN and others ran speculative reports suggesting Russians or Republicans could be involved in a mysterious grand jury subpoena fight involving special counsel Robert Mueller.
The inference was drawn because Alston & Bird was believed to one of the law firms involved in the closed-door litigation. To bolster their case, the media outlets noted the firm had represented Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska (back in 2003) and some conservative clients since.
What the media omitted, however, was that the same firm also represented (in 2017-18) Orbis Business Intelligence and Christopher Steele, the British intelligence operative whose uncorroborated political opposition research document, paid for by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party and known as “the dossier,” was essential to the origins of the Russia collusion probe.....
The Times connected the indictment’s information about Veselnitskaya’s ties to the Kremlin and her role in a now infamous June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower with the president’s son, Donald Jr., and then-Trump presidential campaign manager Paul Manafort.
What the Times omitted, however, was that Veselnitskaya also was working at the same time with Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS, the opposition-research firm that hired Steele to produce his dossier on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.....
And while we are on the subject of that cutting-room floor, we’ve had endless coverage of Trump and his connections to Russia.
Here are some facts that often get omitted in that coverage. There was a presidential candidate in 2016:
Whose husband traveled to Moscow and collected a $500,000 speaking fee from Vladimir Putin cronies while she was serving as secretary of State, negotiating with the Russians;
Who ran a Cabinet agency that authorized the sale of a large swath of strategic American uranium assets to Putin’s nuclear company at the very moment the FBI had proven the company was engaged in extortion, bribery, kickbacks and racketeering;
Who served in an administration that helped arrange and approve billions of dollars in nuclear fuel contracts for Moscow at American nuclear plants, just a short while before Putin’s forces invaded our ally, Ukraine;
Whose campaign chairman served on the board of a clean-energy company that received a $35 million investment from Russia while she served as secretary of State;
Whose prominent fundraiser subsequently came under investigation for possible illegal lobbying activities involving Manafort and Russia-backed Ukraine politicians; and
Whose family’s charitable empire accepted support from a lobbying and public relations firm working for a Russian nuclear giant needing State Department approval for a U.S. transaction.

Re: Fake News
The Deep State with their media collaborators have painted themselves into a corner. They created a Zero Sum game. Where Trump must be evil, corrupt and in league with Putin directly to destroy America.
Anything short of that is a failure for them. If they fail to prove that Trump is hard wired directly to Putin its a failure. They don't have the proof. Trumps approval numbers are holding, his base is solid and they don't know what the fuck to do.

Re: Fake News
That's really irrelevant, Fife. The clinic receives funding from the single-payer health care system they have. Even if he is paying full-price for the services, if those services are so good that he travels all the way to Canada for them, then the idea that single-payer health care systems are worse doesn't add up.

The point is not about what doctor is best for Paul; he made his choice, just that same as you and I would like to be able to do, given sufficient resources.
The point is that the media is a bunch of lying ass bitches.
