FAKE NEWS strikes again for the headline.... The people that hang on their every word ate it up.





Quote:
The article cited a nearly $1 billion refinancing deal from several banks, including the Bank of China, struck in 2012 with a New York City real estate venture in which the Trump Organization has a substantial minority interest. We reported that President Trump, through the Trump Organization, owes the Chinese state-owned bank tens of millions of dollars on a loan that comes due in 2022. POLITICO attempted to reach other parties to the refinancing throughout the weekend and Monday. Wells Fargo on Monday confirmed the Bank of China’s statement that it had been listed as a creditor on the building by the media in error. Bank of China said Wells Fargo is taking steps to correct the record with an updated filing.

Politifact is a facebook fact checker. Just saw a fake "false" yesterday, covering up for another lefty fake news story. The left as a whole just has no limits on low. Its nice that they are allowed to check on eachother, and we're supposed to believe its written in stone.

The media doesn't care about the truth or "facts." They are political operatives, who put lies out as truth, knowing that even after coming clean, the lies will still be believed by many. It's a tool they use to shape the Narrative.

Most if not all so called "fact checkers" are run by leftist media anyway. So to expect them to be honest is absurd since their own primary media outlets have dropped all pretenses of being fair/unbiased.
For example PolitiFact is run by the TBT, and just like the NYT, has not endorsed a (R) for president in over 60 years.

That alone should tell you all you need to know about who operates these fact checking sites, and how unbiased they are.
But liberals/leftists love them, because they back them up like good little apparatchiks. Heck out of a bunch of politicians ranked for truthfulness, Hillary was rated 2nd most truthful.
Again, that tells you all you need to know.

Interesting side note - If you look up "politifact bias" on Google, they and affiliated sites all say they are not biased.
Just what you need and can trust, a PolitiFact link to PolitiFact saying how they are not biased.

We should all be glad that the current WH occupant isn't a known liar and ignoramus who'll spout outrageous conspiracy theories that his followers swallow like free beer.

Nome sane?

It is sad some people are so filled with hate that they can say such things and then throw a smilie face at the end of their caustic rant.

"The White House and the Trump Organization declined to comment on the record after being told what we intended to report."

Trump had the chance to refute it before it went to print, and he didn't. So perhaps your faux-outrage is misdirected.

Relax, Vec.

Just reflecting tRump's hatred that he's spewed at the majority of Americans who didn't vote for him and don't support his baloney.

No need for all this right wing hypersensitivity.

Carry on.
