There's one. But then you have CNN misreporting the date of a Wikileak's email (they claimed it was before the election but it was after). This caused the stock market to plunge. ABC falsely reported that Flynn met with Russian representatives before the election, when it was after the election. And there have been several of these kinds of reports.
Then there was the big deal with the woman being lionized for flipping off Trump (classy of her) and Trump's wife giving a library Dr. Seuss's books, how that was supposedly "racist," – even though Michelle Obama had praised Dr. Seuss while Obama was in office. Then there was the rebel flag in the background behind Trump's son-in-law on vacation in Florida ... and the bogus "White Power" hand gesture (which was really an "A-OK" hand gesture) from one of Trump's assistants. This one was debunked by the ACLU. Tons of this small-minded garbage like this.
Yeah, and Trump is a blowhard who doesn't know how to shut up, I know that, but the Media doesn't need to sink to his level. A little professionalism, please.
