The mainstream media has hit a rare hat trick today, screwing up three stories in order to push a liberal narrative all while under the guise of their mythical “objectivity.” After the fake Rand Paul interview story and the fake NRA gun law story there comes Bloomberg News really wishing badly that Nancy Reagan had endorsed Hillary Clinton:
More from Politico:
The piece, headlined “Nancy Reagan gives her endorsement to… Hillary Clinton,” quoted a supposed “Drudge Report” saying that the former first lady told the History Channel series “First Ladies In Their Own Words” that it’s time for a female president.
“For the GOP, this is slightly awkward. Since Ronald Reagan’s presidency, and especially since his death, the Gipper’s legacy has been worshipfully celebrated, often claimed, by Republican candidates,” the article stated.
The problem is: Reagan never said such a thing and the series was actually on C-SPAN, not The History Channel. The report seems to have come from NationalReport.net, a spoof news site that has tricked many a politician and news organization in the past. The piece was then posted to a website called DrudgeReport.com.co, which doesn’t seem to be connected to the actual Drudge Report.
Journalists are SO eager to trash conservatives they’ll completely ignore their supposed integrity and professional standards just to knock on us first.
