The anti-Trump propaganda machine just found a higher gear, no matter how effective this president may be.

Republicans, bad; North Korea, good.  One would think this President had been seen playing golf after this terrible act. TD



Sharyl Attkisson Explains the Origins of the 2016 'Fake News' Narrative in TedX Talk
"When interests are working this hard to shape your opinion, their true goal might just be to add another layer between you and the truth," Attkisson concluded.




Now, on to examples of this subject in a different context from just the past couple of days after the Florida school shooting:


Networks Push Fake News Trump Made It Easier for Mentally Ill to Buy Guns
"Fresh off their disinformation campaign in the immediate aftermath of the Parkland, Florida school shooting in which they falsely claimedthere had been 18 school shootings this year, the three major network news outlets (ABC, CBS, and NBC) moved on to another fake news topic they wanted to push on the American people: President Trump and the GOP made it easier for mentally ill people to buy guns.
"The accusation that a bill designed to remove restrictions and allow the mentally ill to purchase guns was passed by the GOP and signed by President Trump had long been debunked. As the National Review’s Charles C.W. Cooke wrote over a year ago, what got removed was “in layman’s terms: The rule would have allowed bureaucrats within one of our federal agencies to bar American citizens from exercising a constitutional right — and on the highly questionable grounds that to be incapable of managing one’s finances is, by definition, to be a ‘mental defective.' ’” . . .
. . . "Vega’s snide comments urging a push for gun control came after she bizarrely tried to link the shooting with White House “turmoil” over the Rob Porter domestic abuse scandal."
So very sick of this propaganda. BIZPAC Review has their take on it as well

ABC inexplicably links Florida shooting to Trump in ‘turmoil’ over Robert Porter scandal  "Even in the midst of an unfolding tragedy, the mainstream media looks for ways to take potshots at President Trump." . . .
