Click the link at your own risk. It is Clinton News Network.

Sarah Sanders just made a hugely offensive allegation against the media



Warning: CNN Link

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders isn't a big fan of the media.

Which is, of course, her right. The relationship between any White House and any press corps tasked with covering that White House is almost always fraught and fractious.

But, on Monday, Sanders made an accusation that went way, way beyond the pale of the usual give and take between White House and press corps. Here's what she said:

"There's a very big difference between making honest mistakes and purposefully misleading the American people. Something that happens regularly. You can't say -- I'm not done. You can't say that it's an honest mistake when you are purposely putting out information that you know to be false or when you're taking information that hasn't been validated, that hasn't been offered any credibility and that has been continually denied by a number of people including people with direct knowledge of an incident. This is something that -- I'm speaking about the number of reports that have taken place over the last couple of weeks. I'm simply stating that there should be a certain level of responsibility in that process."


quote:

Yes, there is a big difference between honest mistakes and purposely misleading people by reporting information that you know to be false. But, there's absolutely zero evidence -- cited by Sanders or anyone else in the Trump administration -- that any reporter covering the Trump White House has published something they knew to be false.


This is coming from a network that hosted an hour long prime time discussion featuring (Sally Kohn and Don Lemon) two days after the election on Trump's concentration camps for gays.

otherwise you are a POS hypocrit and so is Orangebuffoon

Well They sure have published a lot of things that they believe to be true without one shred of evidence!

Honest mistakes?..SURE.

Not sure why 100% of these honest mistakes are negative toward Trump. Not a single honest mistake in his favor for almost 2 years.

How many of these so called honest mistakeswere made against Obama in his 8 years? None that I can recall. Where are the fact checkers and who are they? If fake news and liars are “fact checking” by calling other then we got one hell of a problem with the media. This is what is going on.

frick the MSM and these loser blogger POShits

My apologies if my statement was offensive to tabloids.

How do they make so many "mistakes" over and over and over again if it isn't intentional? Why do all of these mistakes affirm the network's anti-Trump, anti-middle America stance?

Even just in the past week, they've proven they are fake news multiple times. They devoted several day's worth of coverage and panel "outrage" to these lies.

They are pissed because they've been embarrassed by Sanders.

Let us know when we can keep our doctors. And our plans. And we will save 2500 a year. And our premiums won't go up. And lower deductibles.
