WashPost Media Reporter: Trump-Book Author Accused of Inventing Quotes

It didn't take long for the truth about the Wolff book to start leaking out. It shouldn't take long before it's totally discredited. I can hear the snowflakes crying already.


On the front of Thursday's Style section, Washington Post media reporter Paul Farhi wrote a piece on blazing-hot author Michael Wolff and his Trump book Fire and Fury. The headline was "A whale of a Trump tale, but is it fishy?" Inside, the headline is "Wolff made up quotes, some of his sources say."

After recounting all the hot stories about Trump and his former aide Steve Bannon, that revelation is tucked inside on page C-4:

Wolff, for example, writes that Thomas Barrack Jr., a billionaire friend of Trump’s, told a friend that Trump is “not only crazy, he’s stupid.” Barrack on Wednesday denied to a New York Times reporter that he ever said such a thing.

Katie Walsh, a former White House adviser, has also disputed a comment attributed to her by Wolff, that dealing with Trump was “like trying to figure out what a child wants.”

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders added her own skepticism during her daily briefing on Wednesday. “We know the book has a lot of things, so far that we’ve seen, that are completely untrue,” she said. She was not specific, but Sanders added that Wolff’s characterizations of White House operations were “the opposite of what I saw.”

Wolff, 64, has said his book was based on 200 interviews with White House and campaign staffers, including Bannon. He didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment.

We should expect that NBC's exclusive interview with Wolff on Friday's Today will focus on the fake-news question. Farhi also found this pattern in Wolff's media columns for New York magazine:

Judith Regan, then a hotshot book editor who had been a classmate of Wolff’s at Vassar, vigorously disputed almost every paragraph of Wolff’s column about her. She said she hadn’t had a personal conversation with Wolff in 30 years.

Wolff’s response: “She doesn’t speak to me. . . . I suppose the world is full of people who no longer speak to me.”

New Republic columnist Andrew Sullivan accused Wolff of putting words in his mouth when Wolff wrote in 2001 that Sullivan “believes that he is the most significant gay public intellectual in America today.” Sullivan said he never made any such claim.

Farhi also thought it was fishy for Wolff to claim Trump didn't know who John Boehner was when Fox News boss Roger Ailes recommended him as a chief-of-staff pick. This is how the story ended:

Even Wolff’s anecdote about Trump being unaware of who Boehner was last year seems a bit suspect. The reason? Trump had tweeted about Boehner multiple times since 2011. In September 2015, for example, Trump tweeted this: “Wacky @glennbeck who always seems to be crying (worse than Boehner) speaks badly of me only because I refuse to do his show — a real nut job!”

Trump-bashers on MSNBC are already making excuses. Host Stephanie Ruhle championed the view that “Even if not all of it is true, the spirit of the book is."

moron. the author has tapes. jeez you're one of the stupidest people on the planet.
Sureeeeeee he does.
 
Shocker a LYING LEFTIST...dime a dozen.
But you’re fine with Trump lying 5.5 times per day on the average?

Sooo, does that mean the world will be ending 5.5 times a day?
Is that another excuse for your fuhrer’s lying or that you’re insane?

Ummm...that statement make no fricken sense...what a surprise.
I was mocking you making light of trump’s average of 5.5 lies per day.

I understand what you were trying to do.

Coming from a cocksucking leftist who supported the biggest fucking criminal bitch to EVER run for office I laugh at you. You people must be smoking a lot of crack if you think ANY sane American takes you seriously.
How many crimes have Hillary been charged with? Any convictions?
You lie like you breathe.
You DEPLORABLES are the laughing stock of the country and the world and never forget there are a lot more of us than you bottom feeders.
Way more.
Lowest rated prez in history and you still think you’re “ winning.”
Ha!
Oh do we REALLY want to go over the corrupt FBI covering for her worthless ass? Don't think you want to go there snowflake. LMAO lowest rated according to polls that had the bitch winning in a landslide ROFLMAO
Hilarious you’re on par with Alex Jones and his conspiracy theories.

And I must add this:
Cult logic: If the polls were wrong once they HAVE to be wrong for the rest of eternity.

Yes you assholes are that dumb.
Wrong shithead. They are wrong as long as the idiot fake news polls more democrats than republicans and doesn't go out and contact people who DIDN'T vote before! That's what happened. You obviously don't watch much news especially as of late since more and more comes out every day where it shows Clinton DID break the law but the FBI changed the wording and made up different sayings to let her worthless haggard ass off.
No I don’t watch Hannity or read the Gateway Pundit.
I stay informed with real news.
You idiots have been predicting Hillary’s going to jail for two years.
How’s that working out for you.
We all know who IS going to jail
 
Poor widdle Bripat. He’s fit to be tied. He can’t handle that the truth is getting out over the “ treasonous, dysfunctional “ White House
Do you think you are scoring points by calling out screen names? Only a piss ant that has no self confidence and little intelligence would do that...do you think you are embarrassing people when you do that? If so it shows an extreme adolescence on your part... Bripat could take you apart in one paragraph loser...
Apparently I'm living in his head 24/7.

You mean the "news" that's had to CONSTANTLY walk back fake stories and has had people suspended for lying? ROFL
