After Ignoring Obama Scandals For 8 Years, Reporters Are Now Making Them Up About Trump
Fake News:For eight years, it was virtually impossible to get reporters interested in legitimate Obama administration scandals. Now, they are so eager to run scandal stories about the incoming Trump administration that they are making them up.
Two stories from major news outlets demonstrate this.
First is the New York Times hit piece on Trump's pick for Energy Secretary, Rick Perry. It claimed that until days after Perry accepted the job, he "knew almost nothing about" the fact that a key function of the Energy Department is the stewardship of the nation's nuclear arsenal.
The story spread like wildfire, with journalists falling over each other to tweet out clever Perry put downs.
