We didn’t get a chance to publish this yesterday, but here it is in case you missed it. CNN analyst Joe Lockhart, a former Clinton press secretary, lied in a tweet about overhearing a conversation between two Republican senators. He later admitted he lied but not until it was retweeted thousands of times.
Lockhart said, “Overheard convo between two Republican Senators who only watch Fox News. “is this stuff real? I haven’t heard any of this before. I thought it was all about a server. If half the stuff Schiff is saying is true, we’re up shit’s creek. Hope the White House has exculpatory evidence”
Then he posted this message, “Ok maybe I made up the convo, but you know that’s exactly what they’re thinking.”
Ok maybe I made up the convo, but you know that’s exactly what they’re thinking.

CNN pays him to lie.
Fake news reporter Jennifer Rubin was one of those who retweeted the fake news:

Rubin didn’t correct it. Most or all in the media aren’t correcting their retweets.
Joe Lockhart’s disinformation was widely shared by other corporate media reporters and columnists, including Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post.https://t.co/a7XDXhi0oy

Make sure everyone reads your subtweet that shows you pulled a Schiff and made the whole overheard conversation up.
No wonder you work for CNN, mastering fake news is a skill.
You excell at it.— Mary Forbes 🇺🇸✝️ (@MaryForbes14) January 23, 2020

Perfect response from the BBee. Brevity is the soul of wit.
In past times a reporter wold be fired for much less. Unfortunately, many news and social media consumers have deficient cognitive abilities.
That’s what the Media does all day long to continue the coup and destroy the Republican Party.
The fake lies, fake news from the hero’s of the left and their weak and nasty followers who all need to have treatment for hate they have for the president of the United States. This has gone beyond jealous hate. I as a foreigner see this is a breeding ground… Read more »
