POLITICO “Retracts” Bogus Trump/China Story

23

Do not think for a moment that this will stop the Democrat-media hyenas from their single-minded focus to destroy Trump and our country. But this is further proof of their perfidy.

Politico Effectively Retracts Entire Trump China Article

Politico reported the borrowed funds were scheduled to be paid back by 2022 in the piece headlined, “Trump owes tens of millions to the Bank of China – and the loan is due soon.”

Trump’s “tens of millons” in debt held by the bank however, is non-existent, and was sold off by the China-owned financial institution shortly after the deal. Even worse, Politico admitted their reporters never reached out to the bank to inquire about the loans.

“Politico received a statement from a representative for Bank of China USA, which had not been contacted beforehand, that the bank had sold off, or securitized, its debt shortly after the 2012 deal.” Politico wrote in an editor’s note. “A spokeswoman said the bank has no current financial interest in any Trump Organization properties.”

Politico had first changed the article headline to “Trump owed tens of millions to the Bank of China,” before acknowledging that an unresolved discrepancy remained in records with Wells Fargo and the New York Department of Finance identifying the Bank of China as holding interest in the Manhattan building.

“Politico attempted to reach other parties to the refinancing throughout the weekend and Monday,” the editors wrote. “Consequently, the story was updated a second time on Monday evening to take account of the apparent mistake in the public record.”

A few lawsuits would cure a lot of it.

A lawsuit against a publication is a waste of time and money. Unless you are actually able to prove that there was actual malice. And, that’s one dayummed hard thing to prove.

Actually, I think they want lawsuits, since it gives their publication more activist reputation.

The more fanatical, the more support and subscriptions they are likely to get.

New York Times would be out of business if it didn’t have Trump to beat up on.

You are correct on Trump being the only reason that many publications are still in business. However, that does not alter that fact that, under existing U.S. law, winning a lawsuit against a publication, no matter how many times they lie, or how egregious the lie, it’s next to impossible to win a suit against their lies.

It’s about time that people started calling “misinformation” and “misstatement” for what they are. They are lies. Outright, bald faced lies. No longer, “he misspoke”. Call it what it is …. “He lied.”

“Democrat-media hyenas”

That’s much better…LOL The MSM is the forked tongue of our old enemy.

I’d mention what should happen to these traitors, but that might get me into trouble again.

We used to be a country of free people that was feared by tyrants. I haven’t lived in that country for a day. Now we fear name calling, losing a dollar, and spending time at home.

Today with MSM and SM its about reading the lies and then deciding which are worse than others. Even courts don’t accept the truth if the truth has caused offence. The World is losing its identity to those that manipulate and deceive to further their (always left wing) ideology.

Have you ever noticed that when these lamestream minoins, when exposed, their retractions and apologies for their outright bald-faced lies never match the accompanying hype originally surrounding it?

“Mistake in the public record”. There seems to be a mistake almost every day by just about every left leaning MSM outlet.

Biden even used this in his recent orchestrated interview with the MSM.

Lies travel fast and loud, infecting minds. When the truth is revealed its usually a whisper.

Now lets see what the next Bullshit allegations against Trump are going to be. The tried so many already unsuccessfully. Their spin doctors must be running out of ideas. I am surprised that they have not tried to link him to a murder, but that could be a bit risky and may open a can of Killeryworms. Anyway, lets see the what the next invented story is going to be.
