reechee	Fox News Is Forced to Correct Their Deceptive, Insulting Headline About Roy Moore Accuser While Fox News was tut-tutting CNN for their erroneous Wikileaks story, they were having their own “OOPSIE” moment. As I told you about earlier today, Beverly Young Nelson, the woman who claims Roy Moore had acted inappropriately with her when she was 16-years old, corrected her earlier account by admitting that she’d added part of the yearbook entry attributed to Roy Moore. Presumably, she was talking about the date and the name of the diner. It was really a minor addition, very much in line with what a teen girl would have added, at the time, and actually took nothing away from her claim, in that context. Then, of course, Fox News put their spin on it. A since-deleted tweet on the official Fox News twitter account had read, “BREAKING NEWS: Roy Moore accuser admits she forged part of yearbook inscription attributed to Alabama senate candidate.” Uh, no, guys. Nothing about what she said amounts to forgery, so what you put out there was completely false. They updated the story on their site, removing the reference to forgery.

StingRay	Well, Reecho ... they (the so called accuser and her shill Allred) proclaimed to the yearbook to be authentic - right - NEVER saying "parts of the yearbook are authentic while parts have been added by the accuser" ... so in essence, the statement IS accurate - the accuser FORGED the yearbook and made her claim, which explains WHY shill Allred NEVER allowed an outside source of Roy Moore's choosing to look at it! Liberal spin as always Reechee
reechee	SR, if you look closely, you will see that the posting came form Redstate, a conservative site.
BeWare	CNN has botched seven news stories in 2017. 1 or 2 can possibly be a mistake. Seven is more like a trend. 7 Times CNN Botched The News In 2017 CNN has had a rough 2017 and it’s not even over yet. The news network has repeatedly made key errors when breaking big stories, only to get embarrassed when the facts come to light. Here are seven times CNN botched the news in 2017. Comey Testimony CNN ran a story on June 6 that claimed former FBI Director James Comey would use his testimony the next day to refute President Donald Trump’s claim that Comey had assured him three separate times that he was not under FBI investigation. That story was debunked the same day when Comey’s prepared remarks were released to the public, showing that Comey would actually confirm, rather than refute, Trump’s assertion. The botched story had four bylines, including those of three veteran journalists: anchor Jake Tapper, chief political analyst Gloria Borger and executive editor Eric Lichtblau, who had recently joined CNN from The New York Times. CNN was forced to rewrite the piece with a correction noting the error. CNN Smears Scaramucci Later that month, CNN.com published, deleted, and then retracted and apologized for an article that claimed Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci was the subject of a Senate investigation for his ties to Russian bankers. After an intense public backlash, three key members of CNN’s investigative team resigned over their role in the retracted story. The network pulled its investigative team off the Russia story shortly afterwards CNN Spreads Fake News…About Fake News! CNN was one of several establishment media outlets to spread fake news about a new study on Russian influence efforts in the United States. CNN cited the study, from the Oxford Internet Institute, to show that fake news targeted swing states during election week. But the study didn’t show that, as The Daily Caller first reported. The study focused on “junk news,” not “fake news,” and then deliberately included conservative outlets like the Washington Examiner and Breitbart News in their definition of “fake news.” CNN and other outlets included none of those facts, portraying a misleading picture to the public Republican Donor Did (Not) Fund The Dossier CNN spread fake news to its viewers during a segment on the infamous anti-Trump dossier in October. While CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer discussed the dossier, the chyron on his show indicated that a Republican donor had initially funded the dossier. That is incorrect. The opposition research firm behind the dossier, Fusion GPS, had contracted with Republican donor Paul Singer for research on candidates including Trump, but that was unrelated to the controversial dossier. Fake (Fish) News During President Trump’s visit to Japan last month, CNN spread two false narratives about the president. The first false narrative was that Trump committed a faux pas while feeding Japanese koi fish by impatiently pouring out his entire box of fish food. CNN zoomed in close on Trump while he and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe were feeding the fish, appearing to show the president making the embarrassing mistake. The video went viral and Trump was mocked on social media. Trump Is (Not) Ignorant Of Japanese Cars In the second false narrative that CNN spread during Trump’s Japan visit, the network took the president’s words out of context to make him appear ignorant of the fact that Japan makes cars in the United States. “Trump asks Japan to build cars in the U.S. It already does,” CNN Money’s Daniel Shane wrote. As TheDC’s Alex Pfeiffer noted at the time, Trump’s full remarks — which Shane left out — clearly showed that Trump was aware of the fact that Japan makes cars in the U.S. His remark, which CNN took seriously, appeared to be a joke. CNN Botches Another ‘Bombshell’ CNN botched another “bombshell” on Friday when it reported that Donald Trump Jr. and the Trump campaign had received advanced access to stolen emails published by WikiLeaks. The network hyped the story as a bombshell for most of the day before TheDC’s Chuck Ross debunked it, revealing several serious errors with the story. http://dailycaller.com/2017/12/08/7-times-cnn-botched-the-news-in-2017/ This message has been edited by BeWare on 12-09-2017 at 11:10 PM
BeWare	This excerpt from an opinion article (posted in another topic) says it better than I ever could. "But what one should expect with journalistic “mistakes” is that they sometimes go in one direction, and other times go in the other direction. That’s exactly what has not happened here. Virtually every false story published goes only in one direction: to be as inflammatory and damaging as possible on the Trump/Russia story and about Russia particularly. At some point, once “mistakes” all start going in the same direction, toward advancing the same agenda, they cease looking like mistakes. No matter your views on those political controversies, no matter how much you hate Trump or regard Russia as a grave villain and threat to our cherished democracy and freedoms, it has to be acknowledged that when the U.S. media is spewing constant false news about all of this, that, too, is a grave threat to our democracy and cherished freedom."

ed monahan	Writing in a Year Book that a girl is cute qualifies as sexual harassment?
bjprowler	I guess so, Ed......And TOUCHING a female on the BACK or her ARM is probably FORCIBLE RAPE......(especially if the guy is rich and famous)

Hate to disagree with ya, Reech, but I think it absolutely IS forgery, at least according to the legal definition... She wrote something in her own hand and claimed it was written by someone else, thereby creating a benefit to the accuser and prejudicing the accused. Further, the act was accompanied by an underlying intent to defraud, based on knowledge of the false nature of the claim. Aside from that, think of the Big Picture here: AL voters may just think it's better to elect an alleged pedophile than a liberal democrat! Merry Vmas!
