If the coastal media is to be believed, President Trump made a vulgar comment about some countries during a bipartisan meeting meant to work out a deal on immigration.
Yet there is still debate over whether he actually said.
During an appearance on ABC's "This Week," GOP Senator David Purdue, who was in the meeting, repeatedly denied that the President used the word.
But the follow-up to the meeting by the coastal media is to assume that the word was used.
Why? Two reasons.
One is that the liberal media long ago stopped reporting facts in favor of "analysis" - i.e. provided confirmation of whatever liberals believe.
This was best illustrated on Saturday Night Live's "cold open" of its 2018 show. Fred Armisen appeared portraying author Michael Wolff of "Fire And Fury" fame.
Following an outrageous story conveyed by the author, comedians portraying Joe and Mika from "Morning Joe" asked if the story is true.
...Armisen's Wolff responds: “You read it, right? And you liked it? You had fun? What’s the problem. You got the gist, so shut up. Even the stuff that’s not true was true.”
And there you have liberal confirmation bias in a nutshell. The coastal media has become a "liberal safe space," even assuring liberals that a "blue wave" is coming (have they ever predicted a conservative wave) even if it is WAY TOO EARLY to be reading the tea leaves.
As for the second reason that the media wants you to believe the vulgar narrative? Listen to my show on Monday.
