I’m not sure how any of this is related to the topic.
That must be the reason no one has attempted to refute any of Brobonk’s examples. It certainly can’t be because they’re accurate.
Brobonk has the burden of proof here. Brobonk has provided zero factual backup for his assertions. Brobonk lives in a fact free universe.
Oh, hell – Brobonk has discovered cutting and pasting. This website is doomed. (I like the first one: “a tax document leaks” that says good things about Trump. Golly gee whiz, I wonder who might have leaked it?! I wonder if it is more authentic than a $3 bill??!!)
The term Trump Derangement Syndrome (invented as I recall by an unhinged female commentator, initials AC, who is now on the Orange Buffoon’s shitlist bigtime should be more properly defined as the condition afflicting anyone not stupid enough and/or ignorant enough and/or gullible enough, or a combo thereof, to ever believe one word our pathological liar of a Prez ever brays.
There is certainly a lot of pathology on display by the Trumpbots here.
Yes, let’s talk about markers, I got a good one for you. As of yesterday Trump is selling a 5-pack of black sharpies on his site for $15.
He is beautifully trolling the haters who can’t get their Trump Derangement Syndrome under control.
Fuck up, lie about it, try make money off it. That’s our boy alright. Watch for him to announces that he has sold 25 million billion markers, then get pissed when someone fact-checks him about it. Circle of life, circle of life.
1/15/18 AP’s Laurie Kellman & Jonathan Drew did a story about a new report showing trust in the media had fallen during the Trump presidency. But the report they cited was over a year old and was conducted while Obama was pres.
2/2/18 AP’s Eric Tucker, Mary Clare Jalonick, and Chad Day reported that Chris Steele’s oppo research against Trump was funded by a conservative publication. The AP had to correct the story because Steele didn’t join the project until after Dem’s began funding it.
3/8/18 NYT’s Jan Rosen reported on a hypothetical family whose tax bill would rise nearly $4000 under Trump’s tax plan. Turns out the calculations were off…Their taxes would actually go down $43.
3/13/18 NYT’s Adam Goldman, NBC’s Noreen O’Donnell, and AP’s Deb Riechmann reported that Gina Haspel waterboarded a high value Islamic extremist at Gitmo. In fact, Haspel wasn’t assigned to the prison until after the detainee left.
3/15/18 AP’s Michael Biesecker, Jake Pearson, and Jeff Horwitz report that a Trump advisory board official had been a Miss America contestant and had killed a black rhino. She actually was a Miss America contestant, and had shot a nonlethal tranquilizer dart at a white rhino.
4/1/18 AP’s Nicholas Riccardi reported that the Trump administration had ended a program to admit foreign entrepreneurs. It wasn’t true.
4/30/18 AP reported that NRA had banned guns during Trump & Pence speeches at the NRA’s annual mtg. AP later corrected the info because the ban was put in place by the Secret Service.
5/3/18 NBC’s Tom Winter reports the government wiretapped Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen. NBC later corrected the story after it was revealed there was no wiretap.
5/16/18 NYT’s Julie Hirschfeld Davis, AP, CNN’s Oliver Darcy, and others excerpted a Trump comment as if he had referred to immigrants or illegals as “animals.” Most outlets corrected their reports later to note that Trump had specifically referred to members of MS-13 as animals.
5/28/18 NYT Mag’s editor in chief Jake Silverstein and CNN’s Hadas Gold shared a story with photos of immigrant children in cages as if they were new photos taken under the Trump administration. The article & photos were actually from 2014 under Obama’s administration.
5/29/18 NYT’s Julie Davis reported the estimated size of a Trump rally to be 1000 people. There were actually 5500 in attendance.
6/1/18 AP reported the dollar value of Virginia’s farm and forestry exports to Canada & Mexico was just $800. It was actually $800 million.
6/21/18 Time magazine and others used a photo of a crying Honduran child to illustrate Trump’s immigration policy separating illegals from their kids. The child’s father later reported that agents had never separated her from her mother. The mother had been taken to the U.S. without his knowledge and separated herself from her other children, whom she left behind.
6/22/18 MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough mistakenly stated that Trump had banned the Red Cross from visiting children separated from their parents. Red Cross had to tweet a correction to Scarborough “no one is banning us from anything”
9/18/18 NYT falsely reports that Mark Judge testified he remembered an incident 30+ yrs ago where Brett Kavanaugh is accused of assault. Judge actually said the opposite…he does not remember such an incident. The Times issued a correction.
9/23/18 Multiple news outlets report that Rod Rosenstein was fired. It turned out not to be true. Axios and others eventually correct their false claims.
10/14/18 NBC News falsely reports that Trump praised Robert E. Lee. Actually Trump had praised Ulysses S. Grant.
11/14/18 CNN’s Jeff Zeleny reports that Trump decided to fire a deputy national security advisor upon the 1st Lady’s demand. WSJ reports that the adviser was escorted out of the WH. Later it’s reported that neither case is true. The adviser was re-assigned to another job.
12/24/18 It is discovered that nearly everything written by a Der Spiegel reporter, who had been honored by CNN, about a supposedly racist Trump stronghold town was fabricated – like much of his other work.
12/26/18 NBC reports that Trump was the 1st president since 2002 not to visit the troops at Christmas time. But he and Melania did. NBC later added a note to the story, but left the false headline in place.
2019 still to come!
Do you have one where a reporter refuses to retract an obvious falsehood? Maybe one where they take a big ol’ marker and try to change the facts to fit their story? That would be a little more relevant.
10/1/16 NYT suggests that Trump hasn’t paid taxes in 18 years. A tax document leaks and shows that Trump actually paid a higher rate than Obama or Sanders.
11/9/16 On election night the Detroit Free Press called the state of Michigan for HRC. Trump actually won MI.
1/20/17 CNN claimed Nancy Sinatra was unhappy that her father’s song was used at Trump’s inauguration. Sinatra responded “That’s not true, I never said that. Why do you lie, CNN? Actually I’m wishing him the best.”
1/20/17 Zeke Miller of Time reported that Trump removed the bust statue of MLK Jr from the Oval Office. Miller later tweeted his correction: “The MLK bust is still in the Oval Office. It was obscured by an agent and door.”
5/27/17 BBC & the Guardian report that Trump didn’t bother to listen to the Italian PM’s translation. They assumed this because Trump wasn’t wearing large headphones like the other leaders attending. Turns out, Trump was using a small earpiece in his right ear.
6/4/17 NBC News reported in a tweet that Putin told Megan Kelly that he had compromising info on Trump. NBC issued a correction that Putin had actually said the opposite, he did not have compromising info, and called it nonsense.
6/6/17 CNN’s Gloria Borger, Eric Lichblau, Jake Tapper, & Brian Rokus, and ABC’s Justin Fishel & Jonathan Karl report that Comey will refute Trump’s claim that Comey told Trump 3 times he wasn’t under investigation. Comen did the opposite and confirmed Trump’s claim.
6/22/17 CNN’s Thomas Frank reported that congress was investigating a Russian investment fund with ties to Trump officials. The report was later retracted. Frank and 2 other employees resigned in the fallout.
7/6/17 Newsweek’s Chris Riotta and others report that Poland’s 1st Lady refused to shake Trump’s hand. They later “updated” the story to reflect that she had in fact shook Trump’s hand, as seen clearly on video.
7/6/17 NYT’s Maggie Haberman, CNN, and other outlets had long reported that 17 U.S. intelligence agencies concluded Russia orchestrated election year attacks to help get Trump elected. It was actually no more than 4 agencies.
8/31/17 NBC News Ken Dilanian and Carol Lee report that a Trump official’s notes about a mtg with a Russian lawyer included the word “donation” implying suspicious campaign contributions. NBC later corrected the report to reflect that the word “donation” did not appear, but the word “donor” did appear. Politico later reported that the word “donor” wasn’t in the notes either.
9/5/17 CNN’s Chris Cillizza and others declared Trump lied when he stated Trump Tower had been wiretapped. It later turned out there were numerous wiretaps involving Trump Tower and Trump associates.
9/7/17 NYT’s Maggie Haberman reports Nancy Pelosi called Trump about an immigration issue. Trump actually made the call.
11/6/17 CNN’s Daniel Shane edited excerpts from a Trump event to make it seem as though Trump didn’t realize Japan builds cars in the U.S….Trump’s entire statement made clear that he does.
11/6/17 CNN edited a video to make it appear as if Trump impatiently dumped a box of fish food in the water while feeding fish at Japan’s palace. The media implied that Trump was gauche and impetuous. The full video showed that Trump simply followed the lead of the Japan PM.
11/29/17 Newsweek’s Chris Riotta claimed that Ivanka Trump plagiarized one of her own speeches. In fact, plagiarizing one’s own work is impossible because you can’t steal your own work.
12/2/17 ABC News Brian Ross reported Gen. Flynn will testify that candidate Trump directed Flynn to illegally contact Russia. It was an explosive accusation, and the stock market plunged on the news. ABC later corrected the report to reflect Trump had already been elected when he asked Flynn to contact the Russians about working together to fight ISIS and other issues. Ross was suspended.
12/5/17 Bloomberg’s Steven Arons and WSJ’s Jenny Strasburg reported that Robert Mueller had subpoenaed Trump’s bank records. It wasn’t true.
12/8/17 CNN’s Manu Raju and Jeremy Herb reported that Don Jr. conspired with Wikileaks prior to the publication of damaging Dem Party & HRC campaign emails. Many other publications followed suit. They had the date wrong. Wiki & Don Jr. were in contact after the emails were published.
These are just some of my favorites. I’ll add 2018 & 19 as I have time.
