Republicans spreading fake news

[Belsnickel]

Trump, Giuliani, and Fox News spread a doctored video of Pelosi which went viral among conservatives online: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/24/us/politics/pelosi-doctored-video.html

The video was attempting to show Pelosi in a state that indicated inebriation or in some sort of other altered state.

The video was played at 75% speed, making her appear to slur her words.

Not really fake news....just news delivered a little slower.

That's too bad. Pelosci is one of the more moderate Liberals, Anyone attempting to disparage her are cutting off their noses to spite their faces. Anyone that tried to spread this fake video should be rightly chastised,

The only funny thing is YouTube said it violated their standards. WTF standards are those?

They copied off of Jimmy Kimmel. He's done this to Trump like 20 times. Granted, he like...prefaces the video with "this is altered" etc etc.

Good point, about youtube and their "standards".  However, they really didn't need to slow down any footage of Nancy to get a chuckle, I've heard plenty of real speed audio of her stumbling words and misspeaking.  You're right though, she's a sweet old lady.  Too bad that with all of her riches, she can't orchestrate a program to combat the homeless drug addict problem in her own city..

Part of the broader front, undermining the opposition's credibility, of a piece with discrediting the FBI and CIA.

Hannity and Ingraham still maintain the Mueller Report states/proves "no obstruction" and laugh at the hysterical Democrats who want to finish the job Mueller handed to them.

They defend Trump's claim he doesn't have time to do the people's work AND respond to an investigation,

while they cheer his decision to steer DOJ resources into yet another "investigation" of how the "witch hunt" got started, to prove it was a "coup" to take down a sitting president. Hannity and Ingraham want the president's enemies in jail.

Fox is like an alternative universe; people who "really know" Trump claim he is gentle, kind, easy to work with, a guy with incredible mastery of detail exercising good judgment while the "deep state" resists him to protect their jobs. A truly GREAT LEADER with DEEP INSIGHT into the global economy (more "ceo experience" than any president ever, says Rush). Rule of law means protecting Trump and going after Congress and the FBI. Liberals don't get it.

Never mind the firing people by tweet, public disparagement of his own cabinet members, the incessant leaking of disgruntled staff fighting each other, living in fear. Never mind what Trump actually, publicly, says and does.

I'd be shocked if it wasn't Trump, Giuliani and Fox News.

Fox News has built an entire company around spreading fake news.

Well, at least if she was drunk that would explain half the things that come out of her mouth.

Should WAPO be called out for "whataboutisim"?

In an article about someone lying about what Trump said and it getting retweeted they bring up the Pelosci video twice.

[GMDino]

Meanwhile Facebook and Twitter refuse to remove it because "people can decide for themselves".

If DJT wasn't president he'd be banned from all social media.  Instead he is a coddled man-child who can do and say anything.  Even the members of his own party just throw up their hands say "what can you do? That's Trump being Trump" as if it's acceptable now.

That's sad.

And a disgrace.

But not unexpected.

Be best.
