Americans
don't trust the media-and with good reason, as we learned earlier today. Take just the latest bit of fake news to have been cyber-vomited onto social media: according to
Politico, Attorney General Jeff Sessions "
joined" a "Lock her up!" chant started by a group high schoolers he was giving a speech to.
But that
isn't accurate at all. Sessions heard the chant,
looked a bit confused, then bemused, and, finally, amusedly echoed-literally one time-the chant before continuing with his prepared remarks.From the way the story was
reported, however, one could be forgiven for thinking he had organized the speech purposefully so he could taunt a political rival and whip the crowd up into a frenzy to call for her arrest, all the while he's leading it-evilly.
That just isn't what happened. Seriously, they
have to know this reporting (and other
examples like it) is, at best, deliberately misleading and, at worst, unadulterated lying.
What seems more and more evident with each passing day to more and more Americans is that they do know they are being dishonest, but they just don't care.
Comment: Sounds like Sarri made this a sticking point for his continued employment. Fans (and others) should demand the same. If accommodations can be made for him, they can be made for others as well.
