Obama lied his way to the whitehouse, TWICE! and the media backed his lies to avoid opposing the first novelty president
Novelty president? A hundred years from now when we're both dead, let's see who historians will consider a 'novelty president'. HINT: It won't be Obama.
As was noted above, this story is getting coverage on CNN and many other news outlets. The "good news" is the journalist (Claas Relotius) was exposed as a fraud and has been fired from Der Spiegel (the German newspaper where he worked).
The only real difference between Claas Relotius and Donald Trump: There were actual consequences for Claas where as Donald Trump rode all his lies straight to the White House.
If Trump lied to get into the WH, just imagine how much worse it would be for the ultimate political liar to have gotten in.
Hillary has been lying for many decades, well before she was even on the national stage lying to try and keep Bill's presidential hopes alive.
They didn't want what happened to Gary Hart to happen to him (and thwart her ambitions in the process), so they with the help of the complicit media went on national TV to do damage control of his bimbo eruptions.
Hillary has been lying publicly ever since, but don't let that stop you from trying to find way to bash Trump in a totally unrelated to Trump thread.

Actually rest assured Obama will be at least one of them.
CNN invented fake news and then tried to claim that the internet was the source of it. But they learned a valuable lesson that everyday citizens are far more intelligent and diligent than the MSM or government.
An article by two residents of Ferguson Falls, MN which debunks a great deal of the mostly fabricated article “In A Small Town” about a town that voted heavily for Trump....
I had read about them. That's pretty cool and impressive of them. I don't know how the dude got away with it for so long.
After Donald Trump unexpectedly won the presidency, journalists here and abroad set out to discover what made the so-called rural Trump voter tick. One of those journalists was a young star reporter from the German magazine Der Spiegel named Claas Relotius. He decided to write about Fergus Falls, Minn. Resident Michele Anderson had high expectations for the piece.
Quote:
ANDERSON: Right from the start, just the way he describes Fergus Falls was completely wrong. He described our welcome sign and said that it was decked out in, like, "The Star-Spangled Banner" and that it said, welcome to Fergus Falls, home of damn good folks. Our welcome sign is green and white, and it just says, welcome to Fergus Falls and nothing else.
The errors of fact were too numerous to mention. The road to Fergus Falls was described as being lined by a dense forest. Anderson says that the town is located on a prairie, and trees are sparse. He said that the city administrator was a man who had never been with a woman, and had never seen the ocean. Anderson checked his facebook page, where she noted a photograph of the administrator with his girlfriend, sitting next to the ocean.
She does say in the interview (laughing) that the reporter writes beautifully, and perhaps should consider a new career as a fiction writer.
The US broadcasting network CNN stripped him of the two journalist of the year prizes it had awarded him and at least one further leading German prize-giver said it was doing the same.
So, CNN has revoked their awards and others are doing the same.
For the Trump supporters that tried to conflate an award given to a foreign "reporter", with it being something akin to him working for CNN, what do you say now?
"German magazine Der Spiegel apologised to readers on Wednesday for publishing “invented stories” and content with “distorted facts” by one of its reporters. It identified Claas Relotius, a recent winner of CNN’s “Journalist of the Year” award, as confessing to the production of fake news."
HAHAHAHAHA of course CNN would give this guy an award-----they love fake news.
This completely suits CNN and the MSM banana republic propaganda machine in general.

Anyone paying attention to politics the last few years would understand that Trump has tried to paint news coverage he doesn't like as "fake news"...so not unrelated at all.
Any reasonable person knows that Trump lies more than any President/Politician and it isn't even close! But go ahead and tell yourself whatever you want.
