WINNING: TRUMP DEMANDS WASHINGTON POST APOLOGIZE OVER FAKE PHOTO – THEY ACTUALLY DO Source and content: https://goo.gl/X1x4Ug Over the past year, we’ve seen the fake news media repeatedly try to smear President Trump using every single trick in the book. They use “anonymous sources,” they use misleading text, and they even selectively edit Trump’s speeches and video recording to make him look far worse than he actually is. Naturally, conservatives have pointed this out numerous times—and even President Trump himself has called out the fake news media for their ridiculous bias. After he just decided to call out Washington Post reporter Dave Weigel after a misleading photo however, nobody expected what would happen next. Apparently Weigel had posted a picture of an empty arena where President Trump was giving a speech, except he forgot to report on one crucial fact. The photo was taken hours before President Trump even arrived, so of course nobody was going to be in the seating yet. Kiro 7 reports. WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – President Donald Trump has demanded and received an apology from a Washington Post reporter over a photo of Trump’s Florida rally on Friday. Trump tweeted Saturday that “.@DaveWeigel @WashingtonPost put out a phony photo of an empty arena hours before I arrived @ the venue, w/ thousands of people outside, on their way in.” The post included photos of the Pensacola venue as Trump spoke. “Packed house, many people unable to get in. Demand apology & retraction from FAKE NEWS WaPo!” Trump tweeted from his Florida estate, where he was spending the weekend. Weigel apologized within minutes. “Sure thing: I apologize,” Weigel tweeted. Weigel said he deleted the photo after another reporter “told me I’d gotten it wrong.” Trump said in a follow-up tweet that Weigel should be fired. At Friday’s rally, Trump pointed to a CNN correction and other corrections and clarifications by news organizations in the past week on stories that initially had been damaging to the president but didn’t live up to the scrutiny. Here are the President’s tweets. Weigel has yet to comment on the call to be fired. If you think it’s hilarious that Washington Post is now apologizing to President Trump, please give this article a share on social media. Thank you and God bless!

If there’s anything that Donald Trump likes more than being president, being rich and being able to melt liberal snowflakes everywhere, it’s going after the “fake news media.” And the great thing is, they make it so easy. Take The Washington Post, the place where democracy (and factual reportage) has been dying in darkness ever since Janet Cooke was “covering” prepubescent heroin addicts in the early 1980s. They haven’t printed anything quite that fake in recent years, but darned if they haven’t been trying to at least approach Ms. Cooke’s lofty standard of hoaxery. One of those strivers is Dave Weigel, a WaPo reporter who decided to tweet about President Trump’s rally in Pensacola, Florida, on Friday. Given Weigel’s employer, I’m going to guess he doesn’t exactly have a monthly rail pass on the Trump train. On his private Twitter account, Mr. Weigel took a shot at the president, as WaPo reporters are wont to do: There are two things one notices here: 1) Dave Weigel’s ridiculous Twitter avatar makes him look like one of the lesser members of the fictional band Stillwater from Cameron Crowe’s “Almost Famous” and 2) this looks like the crowd from an XFL game. The second point would have been a devastating prospect for Trump. After all, he’s known for his loyal fan base, and if his crowds are being reduced to Jeb Bush-sized affairs, that’s not a good thing. There’s one slightly teeny little problem here, however: The picture, according to Trump, was taken hours before he arrived at the venue. And, as you can see from the photographic evidence the president provided, one tends to believe the commander in chief: Trump said that Weigel “put out a phony photo of an empty arena hours before I arrived @ the venue, w/ thousands of people outside, on their way in. Real photos now shown as I spoke. Packed house, many people unable to get in. Demand apology & retraction from FAKE NEWS WaPo!” Weigel actually did apologize because … well, what was the alternative? He’d already been called out by the president and the U.K. Daily Mail’s U.S. politics editor David Martosko, according to The Hill, which led to the photo’s deletion. Nevertheless, Trump decided apologies weren’t quite going to cut it. Weigel can apologize all he wants, but this is a serious issue. I don’t wish unemployment on Dave Weigel, but let’s put it this way: Were this me and had I done this, I’d be working on my resumé. Either way, he deserved the savage burn he (and his employer) got from President Trump.
