Fake News: Associated Press covers up invention of imaginary Pruitt meeting

[FakeNews]

The Associated Press is at it again, pushing more fake news. Sadly, the once-great news wire service is trying to cover up its mistake—nearly the exact mistake that cost three editorial staffers at CNN their jobs in a scandal that first exploded a week ago today.

A Breitbart News investigation has led to the correction by the Associated Press–which originally resisted–of the fake news it printed as deeper questions of responsibility, accountability, and journalistic ethics consume the AP heading into Fourth of July weekend.

This time, the Associated Press invented an imaginary meeting between EPA administrator Scott Pruitt and Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris, and then alleged that some kind of impropriety happened as a result.

A Breitbart News investigation uncovered that no such “meetings” took place, the Senate Intelligence Committee was not investigating the matter, and the Treasury Department had already—at the urging of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) to now Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin before Trump’s inauguration—looked into it and determined the matter to be entirely “without merit.”

The AP refused to do anything about its inaccurate reporting for two days, after the original piece was printed Wednesday. Now, Friday evening, the AP is admitting its original piece was wrong by running a new piece that completely undercuts the old one. And, finally, hours later after originally refusing to do it even on Friday evening, the wire service has issued a correction on the old piece

Fake News: Associated Press covers up invention of imaginary Pruitt meeting

Your user name is certainly appropriate.



EPA provides AP with Pruitt's schedule which includes a meeting with Dow's Andrew Liveris and AP reports the meeting took place.

The AP finds out that the meeting actually never took place (in spite of the FAKE INFORMATION provided by Trump administration) and publishes a correction.

So AP publishes official press release from the EPA that is wrong and AP are the ones being attacked.

I wonder when Trump will retract his plethora of out-right lies.
Or even retract one of his many lies.

I wonder when his supporters will ever hold him accountable for his many lies.

Says the oversensitive one that had to try to play hall monitor.



See? My phone has one too.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Playing hall monitor?


lol...

 

[adrina]

Yes. Which is interesting as from what I've been told and what I've seen, you had zero self control in refraining from complaining about 44 whenever you saw any and every possible tie in.

But please, continue to tell us how we are the snowflakes when you have a) been guilty of the exact same and worse behavior you find so worthy of derision, and b) can't control yourself in the face of any criticism for 45 from the left.

So Frosty, if the snowflake fits - wear it.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Yes, I disagreed with his policies.

Very much so, especially on energy and social justice.

I never went full-mental busybody on him the way the Progressive Left is on Trump.

 

[adrina]

Indeed.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Indeed.

Show me the money...

So are you going to tell us how AP reporting an official EPA press release is "fake news"?
Or how they "invented" a meeting the EPA told them happened?
