Fake News, Exposed

In an article on the Atlantic website, a former Obama White House staffer explains why she resigned from the Trump White House after only eight days. Rumana Ahmed thought she should "try to stay on the NSC staff during the Trump Administration" she writes, "in order to give the new president and his aides a more nuanced view of Islam, and of America's Muslim citizens."

But then the executive order suspending visa issuance for Syrian refugees and suspending it temporarily for nationals of seven Muslim majority countries forced her hand. She quit. She "had to leave because it was an insult walking into this country's most historic building every day under an administration that is working against and vilifying everything I stand for as an American and as a Muslim."

When I emailed the editor of the Atlantic to ask for clarification regarding Ahmed's employment status in the White House, Atlantic magazine senior director for communications Anna Bross replied: "Rumana Ahmed was a direct hire by the NSC and not a political appointee. She was staff and planned to stay on."

That's wrong. Ahmed was a political appointee in the Obama White House. According to Trump White House officials, it was very late in her tenure in the Obama administration when she applied for a civil service position with administrative duties. "Burrowing," as it's commonly called, is the process through which political appointees move into career government status. She was granted her new status at the end of January, just as the Trump team was moving into the White House. That is, Ahmed took the highly unusual step for a White House staffer of choosing a considerably less ambitious career path in government, as she went from a junior policy position to a secretarial post.

Why? Because as a political appointee from the Obama administration she was inevitably going to be replaced by a Trump appointee and she wanted to stay on. And yet in only four days—not eight, because, say sources, she took several days off—she came to the conclusion that she had failed in her attempt to influence the Trump team, which in fact "was attacking the basic tenets of democracy."

It's fake news, but Idea wants more investigations, as do other Republicans. I guess you're just hoping it goes away.

for purposes of your desperate argument you want to believe that other republicans want the SP because they see something crooked. in fact ISSA is suggesting it be done as a form of extreme transparency. Kind of like calling a special prosecuter to prove you are not a purple giraffe. a total waste of time only done to take any and all arguments away from the desperate snowflakes.

It's fake if it is against Trump, and real if it makes him look good.

Simple, perfect for the simple-minded.

it is fake because it was fabricated.
fabricated by the extremely liberal biased media who works in conjunction with their Dnc masters . kind of like you do here.

we can go back and forth about whats fake and what is not. But at some point the question has to be asked who holds the media accountable when they intentionally or otherwise get it wrong.

the conversation priebus had with the FBI where the New York times article was labeled bull:censored2: by the fBI number 2 is a classic example.

instead of the press investigating the misrepresentation and therefore abuse of their first amendment application they try to get the trump administration on improper contact.

when they do so they clearly state that they want that erroneous story to stay erroneous rather then having it corrected.

Tonight, the former governor of KY is suppose to give the 'Democrat response speech'. He's gonna say how great Obamacare was for his state.
The present governor was on earlier saying Obamacare has been an abysmal failure since day one. Somebody's is lying.

Almost everything on Breitbart, FOX, or Drudge etc. is either outright fake news, or outrageously slanted or biased. Yet, these are your Bibles.

The former governor got the Medicaid expansion paid by the federal government. So it was great. Current governor has to try to find a way to pay for it himself. So it's bad. Not exactly lying, just timing.

or CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and even PBN too.
There is no news outlet in the United States that is not biased.
You have to watch 3 or 4 shows from different news outlets to get at the truth.

First is was PBR, now it's PBN. Neither of those are a news source, as far as I can tell. Are you trying to say PBS?

Talk about alternate reality.

If your news source is television, you aren't getting news.

poor man , this is the only talking point your masters have left .
There is not a shred of proof offered to justify the claim , but you continue to push onward with it .
At least they should reward you with an Gold Star for effort .

Really? But all your MSM sources like ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, etc that said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or Bengazi was the result of a Youtube video or that Hillary would win in a landslide or the earth is boiling over or there's no such thing as a Muslim terrorist are real and true news? I don't think so. Looks like your "Bible" has the real flaws. I just gave you some examples of Fake News from the MSM. What's your examples of Fake News from what you claim?

An elaborate hoax based on forged documents escalates the phenomenon of “fake news” and reveals an audience on the left that seems willing to believe virtually any claim that could damage Trump.

In the third week of January, an Israeli named Yoni Ariel flew from Tel Aviv to Rome carrying $9,000 in cash on a secret mission to bring down Donald Trump.

There, he met with an Italian businessman. Seated at a table toward the rear of a café, away from the street where they might attract unwanted attention, Ariel recalled, he handed over the cash. In exchange he was given a copy of a potentially explosive set of documents.

Its 35 pages told the story of a $1.6 billion wire transfer from petroleum giant ExxonMobil to a European office of a Chinese mining company, which a day later transferred 1.4 billion euros to the Trump Organization, the privately held conglomerate founded by President Trump.

To Ariel, who is married to an American and calls Russia’s tampering in the elections “an act of war,” the implications of these billion-dollar transfers were clear: Exxon had secretly bribed Trump to name Tillerson to the powerful cabinet post.

Alarmed, Ariel passed the documents to a network of Democratic and anti-Trump activists who in turn shared them with prominent news organizations including BuzzFeed News.

The election of Donald Trump has proven there really is a shadow government or NWO that runs it and the world. Trump isn't part of their cabal, so they will stop at nothing to oust him.
