CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley apparently thinks The Old Gray Lady has no credibility.
In an apparent bid to boost Hillary Clinton’s and diminish President Trump's on alleged Russian collusion – Pelley mangled a tweet from the president and suggested Trump had no facts to back up his assertion of a quid-pro-quo between Russia and the Clintons in a 2010 uranium deal.
“Well, today, President Trump sowed confusion on the Russian investigation,” Pelley said Wednesday night. “He asked why the media are not covering, quote, ‘Money from Russia to Clinton for the sale of uranium.’ Well, here’s why: No credible source alleges that Hillary Clinton was paid by Russia for American uranium.”
But Pelley’s “fact-check” got a few things wrong.
First, Trump’s Tuesday tweet in full: “Why doesn’t Fake News talk about [Clinton campaign chairman John] Podesta ties to Russia as covered by @FoxNews or money from Russia to Clinton – sale of Uranium?”
Nowhere in the tweet does Trump explicitly reference Hillary Clinton, as Pelley makes it seem, and The New York Times has previously written about the infamous 2010 uranium deal to which Trump is referring.
That deal involved then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signing off on Russia’s controlling stake in mining company Uranium One. PolitiFact – a left-leaning, self-appointed fact checker – even admits “some investors with an interest in making the Uranium One deal go through have a long-time relationship with Bill Clinton and have donated to the Clinton Foundation.” Prior to the deal, Bill Clinton was also paid $500,000 for a speech by a Russian investment back.
BIAS ALERT: Pelley's 'no credible source' dig ignores New York Times

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WLOS) - Police arrested a man who is accused of arson, ethnic intimidation, and committing a hate crime at Central Market in Charlotte on Thursday.
A note was left at the scene near the door, according to police. The writer of the note said he or she did not want any refugee business owners in the area, and threatened to torture the owner if the owner did not leave and go back to where he came from, police said.
The person signed the letter, “White America.”

watching two different nightly news casts. nbc and cbs. both show trump laying the wreath and a brief clip of his speech neither show the emotional moment he had with the families of fallen hero's at section 60 . they deliberately avoid showing anything that shows the compassionate side of trump.

N.Y. Times Writes Deceptive Headline to Victimize 8-Year-Old Girl, Push Leftist Agenda - Breitbart
The New York Times and a Nebraska local news network let their love for a good victim story get the better of them this week when they artfully—and intentionally—sacrificed an 8-year-old girl who loves soccer and happens to wear her hair short.
Due to an unfortunate error on a team roster form which marked young Mili Hernandez incorrectly as a male, the team was disqualified from the Ray Heimes Springfield Invitational in Nebraska.
An unfortunate error of course, but according to the Nebraska State Soccer Association the roster submitted to the state by the Omaha’s Azzuri Cachorros girls club team “identified this player as male, and the competition rules for US Youth Soccer do not allow boys to play on a girls’ team.”
In fact, the New York Times knew well that Mili was mistakenly “listed as a male on the team roster for the regular season and the tournament. Officials said it was a typo but still a rule violation.”
But that didn’t stop America’s Paper of Record to push a story that appeared as though Mili was being discriminated against because she looked boyish by wearing her hair short. Here was their headline on Tuesday: ‘They Thought I Was a Boy’: Short-Haired Girl Barred From Soccer Tournament.
