CBS failed proves @realDonaldTrump was RIGHT
They just proved President Donald Trump’s points on two fronts. And they further solidified the reason why so many Americans don’t trust establishment media. Part of the mainstream media’s protest against Trump’s first prime-time address from the Oval Office being aired on the broadcast networks Tuesday revolved around the claim that “he lies all the time” (as Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler told MSNBC in December.)
In response to this, some media types spoke about how they were going to “fact check” his speech.CBS was one of the outlets that provided fact checking, but part of the network’s analysis disappeared after it proved President Trump’s point. But they aren’t “fake news” or biased against him in their reporting, right?
Of note is the fact that for the most part, their fact checking supports Trump’s speech as being true. So why did they completely remove one of the facts they checked?
Let’s review what they removed without so much as an editorial note to explain it. It dealt specifically with the harm that comes to women who migrate here illegally.Because “the internet is forever,” an archived version of their original report exists online for all the world to see. In it, the second fact check listed is about that harm that comes to women.
It reads: “Fact check: Number of women sexually assaulted on trip to borderCLAIM: The president claimed one in three women have been sexually assaulted traveling to the border.
Do you find their fact check removal to be suspicious?
FACT CHECK: Between 60 percent and 80 percent of female migrants traveling through Mexico are raped along the way, Amnesty International estimates.” So, the president was right about the harm, but he actually understated the danger. Now let’s look at what the CBS report, as it currently exists on their website, says about the matter… Actually, it says nothing at all.
