They are only denying it out loud, because they do not want the Wrath of Trump, wrongly coming down on them.... And they were not the ones who squealed..... imo.There is no need to put"false" in scare quotes.Honestly, if there was ever a time to sue a media outlet for slander this would be it. Politicians can't be thrown through the MSM media loop and all networks carry it without a shred of evidence in order to harm peoples campaigns. Media outlets should be forced to defend slander like this in court.
I find it odd how generally cautious networks like CBC just run with any news from any two bit source as long as it fits the narrative. This attack seems quite coordinated. Trying to swing support back to the Dems?
White House attacks 'false' Atlantic story about Trump insulting dead soldiers: 'What a disgrace!'
The White House is describing an anonymously sourced article from the Atlantic as "a disgrace," claiming that it falsely accuses President Trump of insulting dead soldiers and apparently being uninformed about who fought in World War II.www.foxnews.com
The White House is describing an anonymously sourced article from The Atlantic as "a disgrace," claiming that it falsely accuses President Trump of insulting dead soldiers and being ignorant of who fought in World War I.
"Not a soul brave enough to put their name on any of these accusations. That's because they are false," White House spokesman Judd Deere tweeted on Thursday.
"Just another anonymously sourced story meant to tear down a Commander-in-Chief who loves our military and has delivered on the promises he's made. What a disgrace!"
The Atlantic's article, written by editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, cites four unnamed sources in saying that Trump claimed the Aisne-Marne American cemetery near Paris was "filled with losers." Trump had canceled a visit to the cemetery in 2018, prompting widespread criticism in the media at the time. The president claimed his helicopter couldn't fly in the rain and that the Secret Service would drive him there -- claims that Goldberg says are false.
There are now 19 on record eyewitness reports vs four unnamed cowards.
The silent ones, that were there on these many different instances of Trump' s ire, are the sources....imo.
