CNN’s Jim Acosta tweeted fake news about President Trump not seeing Congressman Scalise in hospital after yesterday’s shooting, then refused to apologize for it.

After reports emerged that Trump had visited Scalise at at MedStar Washington Hospital Center on Wednesday, Acosta tweeted, “WH official on hospital visit: “President Trump did not meet with Scalise and did not go into the room where Scalise is being treated.”

Acosta was quickly corrected by another reporter before deleting his original tweet.

I really admire Acosta, but WH said the opposite: "He entered the room, spoke with Scalise family, and sat by his bedside with Mrs. Trump."

Acosta later had to tacitly admit that he never spoke to any “White House official” before blaming the inaccurate tweet on another reporter who sent him an email via press pool.....

The left wing is unavailable for comment because they can only berate, accuse, cry, throw tantrums, lie, protest, injure, assault, but never explain their position through reasonable or rational thought.

I posted it here a LONG time ago. When reading the MSM you must start from the premise that what you are reading is a lie. Then, go from there.

The liar sourced The White House via a quick breakdown of a pool report that was provided to him by another reporter. That would get you fired in any other line of work.

You can't make this shite up.

Well, unless you're Jim Acosta. Then you can.

Trump really needs to start hammering these frickers. Pull credentials and bar access.

Trump caused Acosta to do it because Trump is literally Hitler.

Typical. People mostly remember the initial report, not the correction afterwards. It doesn't matter if he offered a retraction or sent a follow up; there will still be those who don't see it or ignore it and only remember the initial report.
