WaPo is so weak kneed. Start calling him a liar! That is what he is.

Where is the NYT on the Priebus/FBI story? I haven’t seen a word about it from them.

I’ve wondered as well. Very odd. . .

Calling press reports fake doesn’t make them so.” Unfortunately, for Trump’s base it does make it true. Sad.

I’m hoping this Colorado newspaper’s defamation suit against a Rethuglicklan state senator becomes a model for other media to follow.

Leading Democrats should begin to refer to Rupert Murdoch’s Foxy News, the Wall Street Journal and Breitbart routinely as fake news outlets. That will shut The Vile Groper, Grabber and Sexual Predator up.

Trump called ‘the media’ the enemy of the people. Today, he tries to revise history and his quote to ‘fake news’.

I think by calling everything “fake” he is diluting his own bullshit so much no one believes it at all.

Once you accept that he is a true master of projection you can see that most everything is says is true … about himself.

Trump says there aren’t nine people, or even one or two, yet Trump knows who the people WaPo spoke with are.

WTF

Marty Barron helped bring the Catholic Church in Boston to justice, if Spotlight was accurate.

I’m sure he won’t be scared off by the goons in this Administration, led by Trump himself.

Could be that NYT is about to break it’s own “scoop,” and doesn’t want to give WaPo any traffic. I remember Watergate and how WaPo and NYT were in competition and didn’t mention each other’s stories.

PeePee is trying to twist pretzels and not doing a very good job. If I understand the news of the last week, PeePee and his band of idiots are claiming that the anonymous sources are all fake, that the media is just making up sources to make him look bad and that PeePee himself has spoken to the anonymous sources and they claim they never said the things that were reported as fake news.

Shit, even I can’t keep that straight!

There wasn’t a single person involved with Watergate who wasn’t smarter than this entire admin combined. This is going to unfold at breakneck pace and PeePee will leave office as the disgrace he is.

The executive editor of the Washington Post on Friday dismissed President Donald Trump’s apparent allegation that the paper had “made up” sources while reporting on the White House.

Your turn, Dean Baquet. Baquet…, Baquet…?
