NEW: The White House wanted the USS John McCain “out of sight” for Trump’s visit to Japan. A tarp was hung over the ship’s name ahead of the trip, and sailors—who wear caps bearing the ship’s name—were given the day off for Trump’s visit. w/@gluboldhttps://www.wsj.com/articles/white-house-wanted-uss
. . . "Ballhaus has a history of distorting things to attack the president.
"Earlier this year, Ballhaus took a quote from Trump out of context when the president was responding to the threat of white nationalism.
"When asked if Trump saw white nationalism as a growing threat around the world, Trump said: "I don’t really. I think it’s a small group of people that have very, very serious problems."
"Yet, in her tweet, Ballhaus only reported part of Trump's comment, writing: "I don’t really. I think it’s a small group of people."
"Ballhaus faced widespread criticism over her dishonest framing of the president's quote, including from the president's son, Donald Trump Jr., who tweeted at her: "When you leave out the part of the quote that negates the narrative you’re trying to push you really bolster the argument of all those complaining about media bias and #fakenews. I would expect more from the @WSJ, but I probably shouldn’t.' " . . .
WSJ journo Rebecca Ballhaus who reported WH wanted USS John McCain out of sight has history of ‘fake news’
. . . "It would’ve only taken Rebecca a little digging to find out what really happened but ya’ know, the narrative is way more important than the actual story." . . .
