to
Welcome to week four of "This Week In Fake News!" Links to previous
editions can be found here.
Remember, this is a cumulative count, so we are starting with number
77. Thanks to another 37 lies, we now know that in just 4 weeks, the
MSM has fired off a whopping 114 pieces of Fake News!
Moreover, this last week was super-duper-extra-special. For the past
three editions, we have only had to deal with the standard fire hose
of the MSM's Fake News. This time, however, we are forced to debunk
a number of Big Lies -- lies told on an existential level,
unsubstantiated innuendo relentlessly spewed in an effort to turn
falsehoods into conventional wisdom.
The Big Lies are labeled accordingly and at the top. Let's begin
there…
77. BIG LIE: The MSM Is Not The Enemy of the American People
After President Trump accurately pointed out that key pillars within
the national media truly are the "enemy of the American people,"
much of that very same media fell right into Trump's trap with a
litany of smug, self-referential denials.
The fact that the national media -- an institution that spreads
hate, lies, and violence -- is the enemy of the American people, is
not even debatable:
"4 Reasons the Media Is Our Enemy and Trump Is Justified
In Saying So."
And let's not forget about those so-called "journalists" making
direct death threats against our president.
78. BIG LIE: Chuck Todd Claims that Trump Criticizing the MSM is
"Un-American"
This not a laughing matter. I'm sorry, delegitimizing the
press is unAmerican
— Chuck Todd (@chucktodd) February 16, 2017
1. The MSM can only delegitimize itself (which it has).
2. Criticizing a powerful, corporate-run institution, like the MSM,
is as AMERICAN as it gets.
3. The President of the United States does not lose his 1st
Amendment privileges after taking the Oath of Office.
79. BIG LIE: Trump Is Trying to Suppress Media Freedom and the First
Amendment
Only a FAKE PRESIDENT would declare the First Amendment to
be the enemy of the American people. https://t.co/ZFZvlTf8Az
— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) February 17, 2017
So, just hours after Trump stood before the entire White House
Press Corps, and did so for nearly 80 minutes while taking every
single one of their questions, he is accused of suppressing press
freedom??? That's just stupid.
Also, everyone should watch this video.
https://news.grabien.com/story-rosen-nothing-trumps-done-
approaches-seriousness-and-nature
Final point: The only fascists attempting to suppress speech are
those declaring media criticism off-limits and "un-American."
80. BIG LIE: Jake Tapper Claims Trump Presser Was "Unhinged"
Although Trump's demeanor during his 80-minute press conference was
objectively jovial and calm, CNN's Jake Tapper falsely claimed the
President was "unhinged." Last week, Tapper described Trump as
"unmoored." Jake Tapper is not a medical expert.
What the Emperor of Fake News is doing here is intentionally
building on a Fake News narrative that Trump is insane, and
therefore dangerous, and therefore a serious threat, and therefore
someone who must be dealt with.
It is all part of an insidious plan to create a Climate of Fear and
Hate around Trump -- what I call assassination dogwhistles.
More on this below…
81. BIG LIE: CNN's Brian Stelter, Jake Tapper Declare Trump Insane
What CNN is doing here (with the help of aging conspiracy theorist
Andrew Sullivan and Senator Al Franken) is beyond dangerous. My
piece from last week…
Later on Saturday, CNN's Brian Stelter interviewed
conspiracy-theorist Sullivan for ten full minutes. Never
once did Stelter challenge Sullivan or bring up Sullivan's
debunked conspiracy theories. In fact, Stelter bought
completely into the premise that Trump is dangerous and
crazy and lamented the fact that more in the media are not
furthering this conspiracy.
By the way, Stelter calls his program "Reliable Sources."
Then, on CNN Sunday morning, the most insidious piece fell
into place. America's Emperor of Fake News, Jake Tapper,
hosted Senator Franken and never once challenged his
conspiracy theory about Trump's mental stability. In fact,
Tapper accepted the premise.
P.S. No one in this Fake News cabal is a medical expert, nor do any
of them report consulting with one.
82. MSM Lies About Geert Wilders Calling All Moroccan Migrants
"Scum"
Example -- CNN headline: Wilders calls Moroccan immigrants 'scum'
Truth: Wilders only called Moroccan scum "Moroccan scum." He also
added that "not all are scum."
The hysterical claim that he uniformly declared all Moroccan
immigrants scum is a fat lie.
83. CNN and New York Times Lie About Trump Claiming Sweden Was Hit
With Terror Attack
During his rally in Florida Friday night, Trump said the following:
Here's the bottom line, we've got to keep our country safe.
You look at what's happening. We've got to keep our country
safe. You look at what's happening in Germany. _You look at
what's happening last night in Sweden_. Sweden! Who would
believe this? Sweden! They took in large numbers, they're
having problems like they never thought possible. [emphasis
mine]
From that, among many others, some members of our lying MSM, like
Maggie Haberman of The New York Times, falsely claimed that Trump
lied about a terror attack in Sweden "last night."
Open to arguments about what else he could have meant as
he talked about something unnamed happening in Sweden
https://t.co/SwzSmI4OSh
— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) February 19, 2017
Here is video of a CNN chyron lying about it:
.@brianstelter reacts to President Trump incorrectly
claiming at Florida rally that Sweden was attacked "last
night" https://t.co/56fa70Th9u
— CNN Newsroom (@CNNnewsroom) February 19, 2017
While there is no question that what Trump said was confusing, to
jump to the conclusion that he was trying to lie about a non-
existent terror attack is beyond outrageous and yet another example
of "the enemy of the American people" deliberately using confusion
to spread lies and Fake News.
Trump later explained that his "last night" reference pertained to a
segment about Sweden immigration problems that aired on Fox News.
Everyone knew this, but CNN and Haberman and the rest pretended not
to.
84. MSM Lies About Sweden NOT Having a Massive Migrant Problem
After the MSM was busted lying about the above terror attack, they
changed tactics and accused Trump of lying about Sweden having a
migrant problem.
Trump is 100% correct about Sweden's migrant problems.
The problems over there are massive.
http://www.dailywire.com/news/13641/denmark-says-no-muslim-
majority-neighborhoods-joseph-curl
MASSIVE.
https://twitter.com/AnnCoulter/status/833584237966155777
85. PolitiFact Anti-Trump Lie #1!
The Left-wing Lie Machine known as PolitiFact falsely claimed that
Trump took Thomas Jefferson out of context when he recited
Jefferson's quote about the awfulness of the media. PowerLine
explains:
Those statements, while certainly more pro-newspaper, are
not a “different opinion” from Jefferson’s judgment twenty
years later that “Nothing can now be believed which is seen
in a newspaper.” And, in any event, Jefferson’s saying
something different on another occasion does not render
Trump’s quotation “out of context,” misleading, or in any
way inappropriate.
86. PolitiFact Anti-Trump Lie #2!
PolitiFact claims Trump lied about saving the F-35 contract with
Lockheed Martin. As PowerLine explains, it is PolitiFact that is
lying, not Trump…
So Lockheed Martin agrees with Trump. Politifact argues
that the savings were already in the pipeline, and that
per-aircraft costs would be expected to decline as
production ramps up, which may be part of what is going on
here. So they argue that Trump shouldn’t really get all the
credit. Fine. That is the Democratic Party’s perspective.
But to say Trump is “mostly false” when he precisely echoes
Lockheed Martin’s account is ridiculous.
87. PolitiFact Anti-Trump Lie #3!
PolitiFact called Trump a liar over his 100% true claim that polls
show an increase in optimism since his election win. In order to
declare Trump a liar, PolitiFact points to polls that… have…
nothing.. to… do… with… optimism. PowerLine again:
So what? Those polls don’t contradict Trump’s statement
about optimism. Again, Policifact simply presents the
Democratic Party’s contrary perspective–one could say, the
Democrats’ alternative facts–to conclude that Trump is
“spinning.” Here, Trump told the truth, and Politifact spun.
88. PolitiFact Anti-Trump Lie #4!
PolitiFact calls Trump a liar for saying (truthfully) that his
administration's refugee pause targets "countries picked by Obama.”
In order to declare Trump a liar, PolitiFact says that Trump went
further than Obama in instituting the pause. The indispensible
PowerLine again:
But no one said that Trump’s order was the same as one
already promulgated by Obama. That would really be a scoop!
Of course Trump’s order went farther; that was the point.
All Trump said was that the seven countries covered by his
order were “picked by Obama” as “countries of concern.”
Which is true.
89. Washington Post Misleads About ICE Detaining Woman Seeking
Protection from Domestic Abuse
This Washington Post headline is all about ginning up hate against
TrumpHitler:
‘This is really unprecedented’: ICE detains woman seeking
domestic abuse protection at Texas courthouse
Here's the truth about this dangerous and criminal illegal alien --
which is buried by WaPo under nearly 17 paragraphs of sophistry:
According to the affidavit, I.E.G. has a criminal and
immigration history that dates back to 2010 and includes
numerous deportations and arrests for assault, violating
probation, domestic violence, false imprisonment and
possession of stolen mail.
Buh-bye!
90. Washington Post Lies About 18 Million Losing Insurance Under
ObamaCare Repeal
Actually, that number is more like 2.7 million. The rest are on
Medicaid.
91. New York Times Caught Recycling Same Phony Anti-Trump Headline
Over and Over and Over
Good catch by The New York Post. On three different occasions, over
three different days, the left-wing New York Times published
screaming headlines about the Trump campaign's contacts with Russia.
And waaaay below those screaming headlines is always the news that
the Trump campaign did absolutely nothing wrong.
92. CBS News Pretends Usual-Usual Layoffs of Political Appointees
Means Something
This is an example of the media furthering a chaos/Trump-Is-Mean
narrative as the administration does the usual-usual work of laying
off Obama staffers.
CBS reporter @margbrennan complains that Trump State Dept
isn't keeping Obama political appointees >
https://t.co/duC6WYfEZj
— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) February 17, 2017
93. AP Lies About Trump Using 100K National Guard Troops to Round Up
Illegals
Truly, truly the height of Fake News.
http://www.dailywire.com/news/13610/3-most-critical-lies-ap-told-
about-supposed-trump-frank-camp
Naturally, liars like CBS News, ABC News, The Los Angeles Times and
The Washington Post ran like crazy with this bald-faced lie.
94. Wall Street Journal Lies About Intel Community Holding Back Info
From Trump
Yeah, no.
http://dailycaller.com/2017/02/16/intel-community-denies-bombshell-
wsj-report/?
utm_campaign=atdailycaller&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Social
95. National Public Radio Lies -- Claims Hillary Did Not Receive
Questions Before CNN Debates
This is a bald-faced lie and everyone knows it. A CNN staffer did
give Hillary Clinton debate questions in advance.
Hillary Clinton did not receive the questions to the
debates. https://t.co/EKSVBtFWP7

96. ProPublica Reporter Michael Grabell Lies About Trump Phone Call
What is wrong with these Fake News addicts?
Well. That was fun. pic.twitter.com/qaDwFXcFfW
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) February 16, 2017
97. NBC New Claims Lie About First Lady Melania Trump Is a 'Rumor'
A New York Times reporter was overheard calling First Lady Melania
Trump a "hooker." He later apologized, but NBC News now claims he
was "spreading a rumor," as opposed to telling a proven lie:
It's not a rumor @NBCNewYork, it's a LIE.

Legions and legions of fact-checkers, y'all.

Did you know, some people actually pay money to read the failing New

99. New Republic Claims Trump Has STD, Which Is Why He's Crazy
Lie.
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/lib-mag-suggests-trumps-mind-has-
been-melted-by-std/article/2615194
100. Media Lies About Trump's Refugee Pause Ensnaring American-born
Olympian
Washington Examiner:
The problem with this particular news cycle is that
Muhammad was detained in 2016, weeks before Trump
had even been sworn in as America's 45th president.
Whoops.
101. Journalists Botch Yet-Another Anti-Trump Fact Check
Washington Examiner:
Trump tweeted at 8:35 am on Feb. 10, "The failing @nytimes
does major FAKE NEWS China story saying 'Mr.Xi has not
spoken to Mr. Trump since Nov.14.' We spoke at length
yesterday!"
Members of the press pounced, and many tried to fact-check
Trump's tweet with screen grabs from the updated online
version of the Times' story.
But the facts here lean more in Trump's favor.
The Friday print edition claimed incorrectly that the
president hadn't spoken with Xi. The president responded
Friday morning to the story. Journalists then tried to
"gotcha" Trump with the online edition of the report, but
fact-checking him with the retroactively updated online
version of a story that appeared differently in print
doesn't seem the way to go.
The online edition of the Times' story carries no editor's
note or clarification noting that it has undergone
significant changes.
102. Politico Reporter Lies About Trump Backing "Gang of 8"
Immigration Bill
The following is completely untrue:
!!!!! Trump told senators he is open to Gang of 8
immigration bill, per Manchin. Lamar brought it up during
meeting and need for reform
— Seung Min Kim (@seungminkim) February 9, 2017
103. Media Lie About Trump's Dad Producing Racist Political Ads
More media lies exposed by the Washington Examiner:
The claim took off in press circles on Feb. 9.
The Facts: The ads mentioned in Blumenthal's essay for the
London Review of Books are fakes. Fred Trump never ran for
NYC mayor, he never had commercials made up for him and the
videos mentioned by Blumenthal were created and posted
online last year by an art project group called the
"Historical Paroxysm."
The group specializes in producing "found footage from
alternate realities."
104. Media Lies About "Yemen Withdraws Permission for U.S.
Antiterror Ground Missions"
The Washington Examiner reports that no less than The New York Times
and CBS News ran with this lie.
105. CNN Lies About Sean Spicer Receiving "Several" SuperSoakers
from Staffers
No lie is too small for CNN, which tells you all you need to know
about the big ones:
And they would be wrong. Which is par for the course for you
https://t.co/Ztp0UOcCiU
— Sean Spicer (@seanspicer) February 12, 2017
106. Senior Editor at The Atlantic Lies About Trump Confessing to
Sexual Assault
Maybe someone could teach David Frum about the definition of the
world "allowed?"
Yes the Milo/CPAC story is bad. Meanwhile, the president
of the United States has confessed on tape to serial sexual
assault https://t.co/5V2ZQUXgS5
— David Frum (@davidfrum) February 20, 2017
107. Univision Lies About Congress Allowing Mentally Ill to Purchase
Firearms
The left-wing Spanish-language network Univision falsely reported
that Congress had just repealed a law that keeps guns out of the
hands of the mentally disturbed.
Never happened.
108. More Lies From CNN About "False Claims of Voter Fraud"
We have debunked this lie from CNN countless times.
https://twitter.com/KrisKobach1787/status/831207220599746561
There is a ton of evidence about massive vote fraud.
http://www.dailywire.com/news/12760/flashback-wapo-publishes-study-

109. ABC News Lies About No Evidence of Vote Fraud
ABC News' George Stephanopoulos goes the full-CNN spreading the lie
that there is no evidence of vote fraud.
https://twitter.com/BrentBozell/status/831254162277093376
110. Washington Post Fact-Checker Caught Lying About Trump Surrogate
The Washington Post fact-checker, the most dishonest group of people
I have ever personally dealt with, played one of their most infamous
tricks on Trump's senior policy advisor, Stephen Miller.
Miller correctly stated the facts in a study. In order to call
Miller a liar, the serial-liars at WaPo pretended to debunk the
study. But even if you buy their debunking (no one does), to call
Miller a liar for telling the truth about what was in the study is
itself a lie, and a shameless one.
Miller didn't lie. Those numbers were in that study.
The Daily Caller's debunking of this fact check is as good as it
gets.

111. Washington Post Insinuates Anti-Semitic Valentine Came From
College Republicans
Weekly Standard:
A report about the matter from the Washington Post
published Thursday was interpreted as news that "College
Republicans at Central Michigan University made anti-semitic
valentines joking about burning 6,000[sic] Jews," in the
words of a New York University professor, which were shared
widely. "Is it just me or has Trump's election made anti-
Semitism acceptable among Republicans?" was one prominent
question, apropos the professor's tweet. Others raised
similar points.
College Republicans had absolutely nothing to do with it. The
Washington Post has not yet clarified their misleading reporting.
112. ABC News Pretends Trump Criticizing Judiciary Could Get Judges
Hurt
More propaganda meant to silence Trump. You see, if he criticizes
the only branch of government the media doesn't want criticized, it
is DANGEROUS.
Utter nonsense. Total Fake News. Bullying fascism.
113. Media Freaks Over Trump ICE Raids … Planned Before Trump's
Executive Order
For nearly two days, the MSM completely over-hyped ICE (doing its
normal job) as some sort of souped-up Nazification of Trump's
America.
Sorry, nope.
114. JOURNALISM STUDENTS Spread Lie Trump Tweeted During Yemen Raid
Never happened.

See, I thought I would leave you with some Fake News being spread by

Illegals
Truly, truly the height of Fake News.
http://www.dailywire.com/news/13610/3-most-critical-lies-ap-told-
about-supposed-trump-frank-camp
Naturally, liars like CBS News, ABC News, The Los Angeles Times and
The Washington Post ran like crazy with this bald-faced lie.
94. Wall Street Journal Lies About Intel Community Holding Back Info
From Trump
Yeah, no.

95. National Public Radio Lies -- Claims Hillary Did Not Receive
Questions Before CNN Debates
This is a bald-faced lie and everyone knows it. A CNN staffer did
give Hillary Clinton debate questions in advance.
Hillary Clinton did not receive the questions to the
debates. https://t.co/EKSVBtFWP7

97. NBC New Claims Lie About First Lady Melania Trump Is a 'Rumor'
A New York Times reporter was overheard calling First Lady Melania
Trump a "hooker." He later apologized, but NBC News now claims he
was "spreading a rumor," as opposed to telling a proven lie:
It's not a rumor @NBCNewYork, it's a LIE.

98. New York Times Publishes Fake Mike Flynn Tweets as Real Tweets
Legions and legions of fact-checkers, y'all.

Did you know, some people actually pay money to read the failing New
York Times?

Lie.

100. Media Lies About Trump's Refugee Pause Ensnaring American-born
Olympian
Washington Examiner:
The problem with this particular news cycle is that
Muhammad was detained in 2016, weeks before Trump
had even been sworn in as America's 45th president.
Whoops.
101. Journalists Botch Yet-Another Anti-Trump Fact Check
Washington Examiner:
Trump tweeted at 8:35 am on Feb. 10, "The failing @nytimes
does major FAKE NEWS China story saying 'Mr.Xi has not
spoken to Mr. Trump since Nov.14.' We spoke at length
yesterday!"
Members of the press pounced, and many tried to fact-check
Trump's tweet with screen grabs from the updated online
version of the Times' story.
But the facts here lean more in Trump's favor.
The Friday print edition claimed incorrectly that the
president hadn't spoken with Xi. The president responded
Friday morning to the story. Journalists then tried to
"gotcha" Trump with the online edition of the report, but
fact-checking him with the retroactively updated online
version of a story that appeared differently in print
doesn't seem the way to go.
The online edition of the Times' story carries no editor's
note or clarification noting that it has undergone
significant changes.
102. Politico Reporter Lies About Trump Backing "Gang of 8"
Immigration Bill
The following is completely untrue:
!!!!! Trump told senators he is open to Gang of 8
immigration bill, per Manchin. Lamar brought it up during
meeting and need for reform

103. Media Lie About Trump's Dad Producing Racist Political Ads
More media lies exposed by the Washington Examiner:
The claim took off in press circles on Feb. 9.
The Facts: The ads mentioned in Blumenthal's essay for the
London Review of Books are fakes. Fred Trump never ran for
NYC mayor, he never had commercials made up for him and the
videos mentioned by Blumenthal were created and posted
online last year by an art project group called the
"Historical Paroxysm."
The group specializes in producing "found footage from
alternate realities."
104. Media Lies About "Yemen Withdraws Permission for U.S.
Antiterror Ground Missions"
The Washington Examiner reports that no less than The New York Times
and CBS News ran with this lie.
105. CNN Lies About Sean Spicer Receiving "Several" SuperSoakers
from Staffers
No lie is too small for CNN, which tells you all you need to know
about the big ones:
And they would be wrong. Which is par for the course for you

106. Senior Editor at The Atlantic Lies About Trump Confessing to
Sexual Assault
Maybe someone could teach David Frum about the definition of the
world "allowed?"
Yes the Milo/CPAC story is bad. Meanwhile, the president
of the United States has confessed on tape to serial sexual
assault https://t.co/5V2ZQUXgS5

107. Univision Lies About Congress Allowing Mentally Ill to Purchase
Firearms
The left-wing Spanish-language network Univision falsely reported
that Congress had just repealed a law that keeps guns out of the
hands of the mentally disturbed.
Never happened.
108. More Lies From CNN About "False Claims of Voter Fraud"
We have debunked this lie from CNN countless times.
https://twitter.com/KrisKobach1787/status/831207220599746561
There is a ton of evidence about massive vote fraud.

109. ABC News Lies About No Evidence of Vote Fraud
ABC News' George Stephanopoulos goes the full-CNN spreading the lie
that there is no evidence of vote fraud.

110. Washington Post Fact-Checker Caught Lying About Trump Surrogate
The Washington Post fact-checker, the most dishonest group of people
I have ever personally dealt with, played one of their most infamous
tricks on Trump's senior policy advisor, Stephen Miller.
Miller correctly stated the facts in a study. In order to call
Miller a liar, the serial-liars at WaPo pretended to debunk the
study. But even if you buy their debunking (no one does), to call
Miller a liar for telling the truth about what was in the study is
itself a lie, and a shameless one.
Miller didn't lie. Those numbers were in that study.
The Daily Caller's debunking of this fact check is as good as it
gets.

111. Washington Post Insinuates Anti-Semitic Valentine Came From
College Republicans
Weekly Standard:
A report about the matter from the Washington Post
published Thursday was interpreted as news that "College
Republicans at Central Michigan University made anti-semitic
valentines joking about burning 6,000[sic] Jews," in the
words of a New York University professor, which were shared
widely. "Is it just me or has Trump's election made anti-
Semitism acceptable among Republicans?" was one prominent
question, apropos the professor's tweet. Others raised
similar points.
College Republicans had absolutely nothing to do with it. The
Washington Post has not yet clarified their misleading reporting.
112. ABC News Pretends Trump Criticizing Judiciary Could Get Judges
Hurt
More propaganda meant to silence Trump. You see, if he criticizes
the only branch of government the media doesn't want criticized, it
is DANGEROUS.
Utter nonsense. Total Fake News. Bullying fascism.
113. Media Freaks Over Trump ICE Raids … Planned Before Trump's
Executive Order
For nearly two days, the MSM completely over-hyped ICE (doing its
normal job) as some sort of souped-up Nazification of Trump's
America.
Sorry, nope.
114. JOURNALISM STUDENTS Spread Lie Trump Tweeted During Yemen Raid
Never happened.
-
See, I thought I would leave you with some Fake News being spread by
journalism students. Be prepared, because the new boss is going to
be exactly like the old boss.
--
The liberal media's agenda is to make Trump as hated and distrusted
as they are.
